We are all lovely people

[Joby1970]

I have been on this section of MN for a good while & I just wanted to remind us all that altho we may be battling with weight that we need to remember we are good people with lots to offer our families, friends & the world in general.

We should not be so down on ourselves just because we have a few pounds (or 100+ pounds) to lose. Fat doesn't make us bad.

Please can we be a little more positive about ourselves - I know it sounds a bit American but I do believe that loving yourself helps with a positive mental attitude & that helps weight loss too.

Anyway (positive) rant over!

Maybe we could list one thing positive about each of us?

Me: I can make people laugh when they feel like crying.

I am finding this a bit difficult Joby. Just goes to show how often we say something nice about ourselves.

Me: I enjoy meeting people and making them feel welcome.

I am a good cook (which is a talent I need to use to cook more healthy recipes)

I can't think of anything else

Ummm oh I guess...

Me: Am a great listener and problem solver!

Shame i can't solve my own problems with weight... hey ho!!! Am off for a run...

riven: from reading your posts you make me laugh - so thats a positive

I find this kind of thing really difficult too so will rack my brains and try to think of something. (BTW, good idea Joby)

mummymels: I am a good listener and caring
