I'm an AWESOME cheerleader, I genuinely like people, I love my friends to bits, I'm great at explaining things and generally teaching (I'm not a 'teacher', though). It's taken me a long time to start to remember good things about myself.. Oh, and someone told me I had pretty eyes on Saturday - that made my day! :-)

I know these aren't specific 'today' things.. But up until today, I had a really hard time finding anything positive about myself, so it's a victory for me, today!

Ilene That looks like so much fun! Ive never done that before. I love getting a good workout through fun activities such as that..

Elle Congrats on your victory! You are one of God's children, therefore you are special my dear! Never forget that. We all have special qualities!!

Have a great rest of the day!

ElleMyBelle, it sounds like you have very many special qualities. You should reflect on them often!

Today, I am saying for the first time ever, that I like my thighs. No, they are not skinny thighs. No one will ever knickname me "Chicken Legs." But today I looked down at my legs while I was running (ever so slowly) and noticed definition in my thighs like I had never seen before. I had this wash of happiness because I know I have accomplished this weight loss using common sense and the power that has always been in my hands (and my heart) and I never really knew or believed it.

I am going to write this down and keep it somewhere special. In December, when it is cold and raining and I don't want to go running, I want to remember this day.

Good for you same7! What a good feeling to have succeeded in something the right way and are now reaping the benefits!
