Healthy on the inside too..Group?

Healthy on the inside too..Group?		jennasourus

I feel like part of trying to get healthy, should include getting a healthier mindset about ourselves as well. I am absolutely my worst critic, i am constantly knocking myself down and i really feel like it effects my weight-loss efforts. Every time a diet has failed its because i decided i am just to week to do it... i tell myself that i am fat and lazy and its just not going to happen... and then it doesn't. So i think today we should all start working on how healthy we are on the insides too. I know MANY girls (and guys too) suffer from being their own worst enemy as well. I am sick of not believing in myself, i am sick of thinking every girl in this world is better then me, prettier then me, and smarter then me. I have to believe i can do this because i am strong and have faith in myself. And you do to! Everyone who feels this way please post 2 things about yourself that are BEAUTIFUL. .I think it would be cool to make this a group and every day we post something good about our selves. I would love for us to be able to support each-other with this.. Sorry if this seems cheesy i just though it would be a nice thing to do =/ SO Here it goes: -I have a really nice butt!! haha -I am really good at my work... and i never give myself the credit i deserve for that.

I think this is a great idea! My first thought was my nails. I'm always complimented on them, because they're very pale and the tips are white, so it looks like I always have a french manicure. I always get asked if they're my real nails. My next one is hard, because we have such a rough relationship. My butt is bootylicious! I've lost 28 pounds so far, with 3.5 to go, so I'm trying to learn to love my butt instead of hating how big it is. Now I'm starting to think it looks good in shorts--it fills them out!

Phsically I would have to say that I have a really beautiful pair of legs! Long and muscular! I also think that I'm a beautiful person on the inside...I'm a great mom and a great soon to be wife. I have a lot of patience and I love life! :-) This was a good post, thanks!

Hmm...first thing would be my hair, as much as it drives me crazy sometimes! It's long and red and I can make it curly or straight. Second thing would be my butt! I've gotten quite a few compliments on it...hehe :).

Thank you for starting this post. It is fantastic and very positive. 2 things that I like about myself is: 1) I have beautiful eyes. They even change colour. 2) My bum. Even though it has some cellulite.

I like this! Two of things I like about me: 1) I am smart with my money. I have (what I consider significant) savings and retirement money set aside already, no debt, I manage my bills without problems and I still manage to do what I want - have fun and go shopping and travel! 2) My boobs. I think they are the perfect size and shape. Not that I walk around showing cleavage all the time or anything - but I like them. Three? Can I do three? :) I am! Try and stop me! However I'll counteract my third with a negative point: I've never been great at following directions... hehe! 3) My smile. I think I am happy more often than not - and what I like about my smile is not necessarily how it looks - but I like that it can be contagious and can brighten other peoples day!

I really really like this idea. It is NOT cheesy. I was just noticing this weekend how many self-criticizing thoughts I have (and some other people said things as well). One thing I definitely like about my body: how my butt feels, it is not too hard but not too soft either. Another thing ... it sucks that it's hard to come up with another thing! I do like my breasts, I think they look good in a tshirt without a bra, natural but fairly perky (sorry if that's TMI). Something about my self? I feel like I can see a lot of angles to a single thing - like I read a newspaper article and think "that raises 25 other questions that weren't mentioned."

awesome idea! this totally works i used to absolutely hate myself, and i was honestly trying to kill myself slowly by over eating because i thought i didn't deserve to live i used affirmations to 'fake it till i made it'... said positive stuff to myself in the mirror (especially when moisturizing after a shower)... one day i looked at my belly and thought 'hey i'm cute just the way i am'! that was a total mind blower! Louise Hay's book You Can Heal Your Life tought me all about affirmations... and there is a movie of it now, which i watch all the time to remind myself! my 2 things: 1 - i'm brave 2 - i've learned to love myself :)

Original Post by carrie317: Hmm...first thing would be my hair, as much as it drives me crazy sometimes! It's long and red and I can make it curly or straight. Second thing would be my butt! I've gotten quite a few compliments on it...hehe :). Huzzah for long, red hair! Me, too, and that's one of the things I definitely like about myself physically. Another thing, not physical/visual, is that I am a dancer and when I dance, I am a great follow.

Bumping ... I like my eyebrows.

I like my smile, not perfect--but it can be contagious. hmm another thing....I do like my boobs. :) they're a good size...and they don't shrink when i lose weight! haha. Also I love the way I dance...I get complimented on it all the time. Part of why I want to lose weight is so that I can dance as sexy as I want and look hot, instead of just that chubby girl who knows how to move.

Like minerva, I have lovely beautiful natural nails. I think I'm a great mom. Not in the conventional maternal ways, but in unconventional and also wonderful ways.

See, I thought it was about "inside" qualities... I have the courage to face the facts about myself I have the smarts to know what to change I have quit hard stuff before (like smoking), and I can quit overeating Like that?
