The brain is a powerful thing so use it right... Every time you have a thought that makes you feel sad or angry or hurt think of something else, something nice, something funny, something amazing. Think of anything but dont let that bad thought take a hold.
Doing this every day will make a difference. Try it and see
What if you have 3 brains, me, myself and I. Sometimes I find, my conscious has gone shopping, my subconscious is running a small country in Outer Patagonia and Im still sat on the sofa staring at the screen because no one told me! And Im not even Schizophrenic ( no I did not just spell that myself Im dyslexic...tsk).
Anyway my new thing which I'm quite enjoying is, you know this thing of parallel universes, well dont think about t too hard is my advice because it will give you a headache! So it works like this kinda, each time you do something, make a decision you create a new parallel universe with you in it and a new out come. No stick with me a minute, that man who used to be in 'D'ream, Cox he believes in this stuff, seriously.
So here you are you've made one of your regular f*ck ups like me, I mean I do it all the time, but get this this time I choose to think its the OTHER me that goes on to the experience the crappy out come, but the new me (here and now) chooses mindfully to experience the good out come. Well it works on and off I havent perfected it yet, but yes I believe it worked with Scotland! Oh heavens thats let the cat out of the bag, I'll have Kevlar after me now!
So anyway sorry for rambling on Mandy hope you dont mind me sharing, just an idea somewhat along your lines 
Now if I could just apply it to losing weight, Right now I could probably sink the Titanic ALONE!
hey thats very interesting sounds like you been reading a bit of david icke and
if it works for you then thats great but my way is much easier
as for losing weight im fighting to put it on at the moment im going to be having a double lung transplant next year and have got to get some on to help me recover or i will defo be on the titanic
David Icke? I thought he was supposed to be as mad as a box of frogs, isnt he the one who has declared him self God. Silly man everyone knows Gods older and has a white beard and doubles up as Santa at Christmas...tsk.
Weight, well young lady you have come to the right place, I find comfort eating which involves the likes of chocolate, Ice Cream, the occasional Pizza and Kentucky Fried Chicken helps. Match that with a sedentary life infront of a computer and hey presto! Your Fat! I know, I know, Im talented...'Gifted' my Mum calls me.
Gosh a double lung transplant doesn't sound like much fun! You'll be okay they work magic in hospitals these days. By the time you get in there they will have perfected removing and replacing before you've even entered the hospital and you wont even have noticed!
Besides by then you will have perfected parallel world thinking and it will be the 'Other' you experiencing any difficulties, just check out the Cox or someone, I mean they all at it those physicists (nope didnt spell that either
You seem to have a handle on the positive, I think it will go well for you, the time will pass either way and we are all here to back you up

thanks for that reminder mandy6.. i know choosing thoughts is not so easy on extreme days, but it makes all the difference on those days when feelings could tip in either direction.. and as some one was reminding on another forum, there are so many choices made every day of our lives, each with its' own consequences.
oh and thanks for the elephant - fridge joke carolineL.. I reminds me of the lovely company i was with when i first heard it
its easy to let our negative thoughts take over...we know when we are doing it the pit of our stomach tells us so even our bodies are telling us we are doing ourselves harm
if you get into the habit of replacing the negative thoughts its gets easier and easier

oh and my daughter told me that joke and she is 21 !!!!! i think there are a lot of happy thought going through her brain x
