GONNADOIT,
Thank you for your inspirational post. If it even helps others a little bit, that will be great. When you feel better about yourself things usually don't look as bad!
Thank you also for the
November Weight Loss Challenge!
I am hoping everyone here will join and continue to try their very best to lose those unwanted pounds. Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Years parties will soon be here.
So everyone please try to do your best now.
Hugs,
Ruthann

: A little inspiration for the day!
:
:
: 1. Stop all criticism: Criticism never
: changes a thing. Refuse to criticize
: yourself. Accept yourself exactly as you
: are. Everybody changes. When you criticize
: yourself, your changes are negative. When
: you approve of yourself, your changes are
: positive.
:
: 2. Don't scare yourself: Stop terrorizing
: yourself with your thoughts. It's a dreadful
: way to live. Find a mental image that gives
: you pleasure, and immediately switch your
: scary thought to a pleasure thought.
:
: 3. Be gentle and kind and patient: Be gentle
: with yourself. Be kind to yourself. Be
: patient
: with yourself as you learn the new ways of
: thinking. Treat yourself as you would
: someone you
: really loved.
:
: 4. Be kind to your mind: Self-hatred is only
: hating your own thoughts. Don't hate
: yourself for having the thoughts. Gently
: change the thoughts.
:
: 5. Praise yourself: Criticism breaks the
: inner spirit. Praise builds it up. Praise
: yourself as much as you can. Tell yourself
: how well you are doing with every little
: thing.
:
: 6. Support yourself: Find ways to support
: yourself. Reach out to friends, and allow
: them to help you. It is being strong to ask
: for help when you need it.
:
: 7. Be loving to your negatives: Acknowledge
: that you created them to fulfill a need. Now
: you are finding new, positive ways to
: fulfill those needs. So. lovingly release
: the old negative patterns.
:
: 8. Take care of your body: Learn about
: nutrition. What kind of fuel does your body
: need to have optimum energy and vitality?
: Learn about exercise. What kind of exercise
: can you enjoy? Cherish and revere the temple
: you live in.
:
: 9. Mirror work: Look into your own eyes
: often. Express this growing sense of love
: you have for yourself, as you have for your
: neighbor. Forgive yourself and others. Love
: covers a multitude of sins.
:
: 10. LOVE YOURSELF - DO IT NOW! Don't wait
: until you get well or lose the weight, or
