I need a feel-good thread. It’s been raining here lately and pretty dreary and I need a pick me up. So help me out ladies and gents! List one or list five!

For me, I feel good today about:
> Crossing my legs – at the knees! And it feeling comfortable.
> Proving to myself that I am no longer OSD! (opposite sex desperate)
> Being told by a coworker that I am her biggest weight loss inspiration. That pulled at my heartstrings!


What are yours today? Or even just this week!

I feel good today about:
Having my cousin ask me to help her lose weight.

Not letting stupid men get me down

Sticking to my diet this week

Trying new things as far as food!

Today I feel good about

My hair, I got a sexy new hair cut and I love it.
hmm the fact that I look fat but feel thin? Does that count? haha

-Not eating that black and white cookie.
-An unexpected drop on the scale.
-Getting in 15 minutes of exercise at lunch.

Feeling good in my own skin. Seeing my muscles and being able to feel my bones.

Today I feel good about:

- staying on plan well!
- eating a yummy, healthy lunch
- feeling slimmer as I move about my day

I happen to be enjoying my new hairstick, too. It was a weight loss present to myself

I FEEL GOOD ABOUT:

- being able to do better in Yoga every week.
- I set out to do 45 minutes on the treadmill and when I got there I kept going to 60 minutes!
- staying on my plan even though I have been stuck for almost 3 weeks.

Today I feel good about:

Being me
Staying on plan for 2.5 months!
Upping my run distance from 3 to 3.5 miles! I can't run fast, but heck, I can run for 51 minutes straight.
Not overeating
My nephew being born yesterday and me knowing I won't be a bad example.

Awesome thread.

Being 207.5 this morning!
Starting to feel more comfortable being naked. (in my own room with all the doors closed of course... I need to swap all my fat for muscle though... then I'll be pretty hot... Of course)
Getting a new pair of knitting needles for free!
And... the best...



Getting a phone call from the honors program at the college I'm going to next year saying that someone dropped out, leaving a spot open, and that if I want the $7000 scholarship in the Presidential Honors program... I can have it!!!!!!!! That means that with this... I will be PAID to go to college. So SO SO SO SO Happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(even though the last two have nothing to do with weight loss... they give me a desire to look good... I want to make a sweater with those new knitting needles... in a size Medium... and getting paid to go to college means I probably won't have to worry TOO much about food cost... especially since I have special food needs and all)

standing up for myself and continuing to protect myself in every way possible

Good about staying on plan for day three and not going back for seconds and thirds.

I tried that Coll's Modified Cracked Slaw in the SB Recipes. Before today I would have eaten the entire batch. That stuff is yum yum good.

-Forcing myself to walk to the gym, then spending a solid 35 mins on the elliptical, plus a good strength workout.

-Keeping my calories under 1400

-My food choices in general
(Salad/no dressing or cheese, no sugar protein bar, apple, watermelon chunks, low cal piece of cheese, chicken and veggies for dinner)

-Spacing out my meals enough that I wasn't grazing all day.

Today I feel good about:

trying to make myself better for the future. Making myself stronger emotionally.

Today I feel good about getting up before work and doing yoga, and walking all the way to work instead of taking the bus/a taxi.

LIFE

Life IS Good!
