Goodness! I owe
two positive things! Hmm...
My positive thing for
yesterday is really awesome and made me feel so proud. Last night one of my friends and I went to this really cool restaurant for dinner, and I was really contemplating veering totally off-plan just for one night. It was a somewhat "special" occasion, and I'd never been to that restaurant before, and everything on the menu just sounded soooo good. I was even thinking about dessert, since they had this amazing-sounding Reese's cup cheesecake (peanut butter + chocolate = MY BIGGEST WEAKNESS). But instead, somehow it just clicked in me that,
Hey, I'm going to regret it if I order that thing. So instead I ordered a soup n' salad thing! The soup was vegetarian chili, with tons of beans (yay protein!) and didn't seem too unhealthy. The salad was a typical house salad, but I ate it without cheese
or dressing! And I was so stuffed from all the lettuce that I didn't even take a second look at the dessert menu after that... So yeah... I was really proud of myself in that moment, heh.
Now, my positive thing for today is that I started this REALLY MASSIVE homework assignment that I have due for one of my classes on Tuesday! This assignment has been looming over my head for the past few days because it's like the biggest thing that's standing between me and Thanksgiving right now, and I had been sooo worried about it because I hadn't done the last reading for that class (
) and the first few times I read over the assignment, I didn't understand it
at all. BUT last night I finally buckled down and read the stuff that I had skipped, and read over the assignment a few more times until I felt like I "got" it a little better... Then today, almost as soon as I got up, I sat down and plowed through like 2/3 of the assignment! I feel like I understand it way better now, and I've made so much progress with it. I'll probably even work on it some more tonight! Then there'll be
nothing standing between me and my Thanksgiving fun!!!
Wow, this thread really *is* a great "mood uplifter"! It always makes me feel so happy after I've posted here. I feel like it just gives me license to brag about any little old thing that I'm feeling proud about, hehe! I love it!!
And I smell really good from the lotion my dad got me as a gift. Mmm it smells like satsumas 
We SHOULD feel good about ourselves for any and every reason. It's a good thing you came up with it.
