Being good to yourself

  • Hi, I've been lurking a while, but I'm new to posting on this board. So I've been realizing lately that I overeat at lot for comfort and to be good to myself. I lost all the weight after my daughter was born, but gained it back over her first year because it felt like eating was the only nice thing I could do for myself. What are ways besides food that you are good to yourself?
  • Good question! I think a lot of us have done eating for comfort in the past. I know I certainly did! I take a long nice bath with good quality oils and etc. I also do my own pedicures and manicures. I've gotten pretty good at that. Or I buy a book, I love mysteries. Or when it's time for me to get new highlights and a trim for my hair I get a slightly different haircut or slightly different colors for my highlights, and it really helps to perk me up. Those are the 4 things that I really do for myself.
