I don't know if I EVER have. From today on I will make a conscious effort to change my way of doing and thinking about things. I also need to stop letting negative things bring me down. Ya know, Destiny's Child has a song called " Survivor " that pretty much hypnotizes me everytime I hear it. I find the words in that song so powerful and I am making that song my personal anthem. Thank you for not telling me to just snap out of it. All in due time.... all in due time. Jenni who would like to inform everyone that they will be playing my new anthem as a preview to Thursday's Survivor while playing clips from the show!

I started making myself think of two positive things a day about me or things I had done and say them out loud, verbally out loud so I could hear them. At first I couldn't think of anything " good " , but suddenly I got to thinking of more and more things and I realized wow I am a good person with a lot to offer, and I may be a bit goofy at times <G>, but I know that I'm basically pretty darn good inside and that helps me be good outside too. I hope this helps some!

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2001 Report Share Posted May 1, 2001 > I am just feeling terribly alone with this body image I don't like. , I am sorry I am so late in replying to this message...I am slowly trying to catch up with all the messages I've missed since the marathon I just wanted to say that we all struggle with this negativity that wants to creep in and tell us to quit! So, please know that you aren't alone! I wish there was something that I could say to make everything better for you..to assure you that you will get to a point where the negative thoughts will cease, but unfortunately I can't! What I can tell you is that with time....you slowly learn to be a bit kinder to yourself....you get to a point where the good thoughts mostly outweigh the bad thoughts and you are proud of who you are and what you are doing I am so proud of you for stopping to pause the tape, for crying it out and for pushing play and finishing your workout! As long as you don't quit and give up...the negativity can't win When you feel youself starting to think negatively about your body...shift the thinking to all the other great results you have felt (the non-physical ones) like feeling stronger, having more confidence, having more energy and the fact that you are doing something POSITIVE for your over-all health and well-being! Hang in there! You are certainly not alone in your feelings and we are here for you whenever you need some extra support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is good, I am going to focus on that, but even > more so, I am still going to focus on my initial goal of 10 pounds. Temera, Good luck with WW! I think it's smart to set smaller goals for yourself..that way you won't get discouraged by the 'big picture'! Make sure that you celebrate each and every milestone that you accomplish And if you find yourself starting to focus TOO much on the weight...don't be afraid to get on the scale facing backwards or look the other way when they weigh you! There's nothing that says you have to look EVERY time I know you can do this! I can't wait to hear how it goes for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2001 Report Share Posted May 1, 2001 > Tomorrow is my last day of smoking. Do you think since I am just really starting my exercise program that I will gain weight. Gosh I hope not. I can't afford new clothes. Do you have any tips to help ease the withdrawal symptoms....I am gonna need all the help that I can get but am actually excited that i will soon be smoke free , I don't have any real words of advice since I have never smoked, but I just wanted to say Good luck! Take it one day at a time! You can do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2001 Report Share Posted May 1, 2001 > I just want to say thank you all for this wonderful thread. It's amazing how > when I stop to listen I learn that there are a LOT of people who struggle and > share some of the same fears and anxieties that I do. This is a VERY big > deal for me, I struggle a great deal with body image. I struggle a great > deal more because people don't take me seriously. Jenni, I just wanted to let you know that I can totally relate to what you are talking about! I'm one of those people who carries extra weight " well " ...whatever that means..LOL! But, when I am 20 or 30 lbs overweight, I might not necessarily 'look' overweight to other people, but I sure do feel it! You might be the same way and people just might not think that you have that much to lose (not that I'm excusing their behavior by any means)! The fact is that we all (well, most of us) struggle or have struggled with our weight at some point in time! And the struggle is no less for someone who has 10 lbs or 30 lbs or 100 lbs to lose and it's no less for someone who might look like they only need to lose 10 lbs, but in reality need to lose 30! It's a struggle either way It's frustrating when you try to voice your concern or your fear or your insecurity about your weight and people don't take you seriously! I used to face the same thing when I would gain/lose the same 20-30 lbs every couple of months! Anyway, I don't really have any wonderful words of wisdom, but I just wanted you to know that you weren't alone in your feelings! And to let you know that we are here for you whenever you need someone to lean on or vent to I promise, we will alway take you seriously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2001 Report Share Posted May 1, 2001 I wish now that I listened to that kind of music. But Garth has some pretty motivational songs. And Lorrie : I didn't know my own strength. Has nothing to do with anything except a breakup, but I guess it is how we interpret the words. I have to get the single on that song. thanks for sharing it with this old country bumpkin....however a hillbilly, but very proud that I am. Hearts & Hugs.
