I think i love my body today!!

I tried on some clothes I bought awhile ago but haven't worn or removed the tags. They were too large! I am going to exchange them tomorrow!

I was feeling super cruddy this morning and just tired plus it's been pouring rain all day. So I decided to take a "mental health" day and just relaxed in my room. I feel so much better, I decided to make an appearance at my last class. *plus today is the first day of TOM*

I don't know if that counts as something good about myself, but I thought it was something nice to do FOR myself. I'm a strong believer that these days are necessary now and then.

But one other thing.. I can see my weight loss in my face. My dimples are showing more, and my cheek bones and jaw line are more prominent.

I think today is the first time my abdomen looked flat to me. I don't mean truly flat, I'm not stuck on that idea. And really, it's far from flat, it's just a combination of a real improvement and the right outfit. But it just doesn't look fat to me today .

jahjah..I love your comment! We should love our bodies more often..whoo hoo squirrelygirl with the "too big" clothes..don't you LOVE when that happens?? I had asked my mom to save an old cute jean skirt size 11 for me and to NEVER throw it out because I wanted to eventually fit into it...well by the time she gave it back to me it was TOO big!

DRose..you took some time for YOU..so that is definitely a good thing!

I spent a good part of today thinking about this.. I'll be honest.. I havn't been 100% on my focus for eating healthy and exercising.. so I've been bummed out beating myself up......

My ONE positive thing about me today is.. I don't flippen give up! o-O I keep working at it...

I must be doing something right because that scale *does* move EVER SO Incredibly slowly!!! BUT the thing is.. its moving.. even if it is a pound a month..

So yes.. my positive today.. is that I messed up big time today (had fast food and a milkshake!) but instead of kicking myself in the butt.. I understand these days happen.. and yes I did enjoy my milkshake.. but its time to get back on track again!

No quitting for me!


GREAT THREAD!! Thank you so much for this.. I needed to sit and think because today I couldn't think of anything positive

kellie32 - you are in my prayers...

I kept my trainer appointment today when everything inside my body yelled - SLEEP! I feel proud of myself that I kepted my commitment (even though now I can't stand straight- LOL)

my positive today is...they were giving out shirts for us to wear at kroger (insiders tip: if you're not insane, don't work at kroger) and mediums fit me pretty well!

i'm rather upset with myself that i am trying SO hard and long to think of something positive.

thinking....







*birds chirping*







I'll go with - today was a really bad day for me, but I was still very positive with everyone else and and didn't break down or flip out.

It takes a special person not to treat people poorly when you feel unhappy. Believe me, many people just go right ahead

My positive thing is that I think I'm cute!

WOW. Just wow. Every single one of you deserves a huge and a big high five.

This thread has already floored me with the positive spirit! It's the fact that in less than 24 hrs there have been so many comments that have dealt with everything from personal appearance, to emotional & physical well-being, to how people have dealt with others around them. That is amazing!

And that, to me, is true success! When you can look at yourself in the mirror and like what you see, when you can look inside yourself and like what you see, and when ultimately you can share that good feeling with others.

And kudos to any of you that are going through a particularly challenging time and still jumped in with a reason to feel proud of yourself.

My positive thing today is that I have so much more energy from being so diligent with my exercising, eating right, and drinking water. Feel like kickin' butt and takin' names!

i'm with you. i'm proud of myself for not having lost my mind yet. this week has been real tough.

My positive thing is that I have been working really hard at work and I recently received a promotion and I'm moving into my new big office today!!
