The "Three Good Things About Me" Thread
 

Hi y'all....

With weight loss (or lack thereof sometimes), it is easy for us to focus on negative things. I was just reading a thread on the 100 lb Club about a magazine article that said how a woman thinks about herself affects her weight loss. I know that is true for me...on the days I think I'm lower than a snake's belly are the days I turn to my "friend" food for some validation. I really want to remind myself every day I am SO MUCH MORE than a fat girl!!!!

I want to start this thread so that we can all share what is good about ourselves. I hope lots of you will join me...but even if no one else posts but me, it will help me to see the good things about myself in print.

So....without further delay....here are.....

:carrot: THREE GOOD THINGS ABOUT ME!! :carrot:

1. I am a good listener
2. I am a pretty decent singer
3. I have a good (albeit weird!) sense of humor.

Okay...YOUR TURN!!

3 good things about me:

1. I have a pretty good job (my dream job) with good money (for my young age)
2. I am a very happy friendly person
3. I am easy going

Isn't it bad that I had a hard time coming up with these?

That's the whole purpose Courtnie...to remind ourselves how great we are, no matter how much we weigh!

I am a good wife/mother.
I am a good nurse.
I'm an encourager.


Hey, those might all be the same thing :)

You are a 'trinity of love and nurturing', Susan :)

I came to this thread three times, the first time couldn't think of anything, the second time thought of two things, then the third time I finally thought of three. Geez, we did need this!

I have eyes and eyelashes that could rival any of hollywoods finest.

I'm one of the most caring people that you'll ever meet.

1. I am intelligent.
2. I can find humor in just about any situation.
3. I am lighthearted and love to smile.

It was reallly hard not to qualify statements with things like "Usually," "Normally," "Most of the time", etc...how easy it is to minimize our strengths! Thanks for posting this thread, it's a reminder that we need to identify the good things, or we forget about them!

2. I am loyal
