PROUD OF MYSELF

I'm feeling that blush in your face when you're proud of yourself. And it feels sooooo good!

Somebody at the Inner Circle is beating herself up all the time (and it's not me!). I can't believe we're weighing more or less the same, and yet we have such different attitudes!

She said, "I have this huge fear of failing", "I'm not working out enough", "I know I should be doing it, but...", "still only 1 pound difference", "I will not be the fat one", etc.

So I tried to make her see she was using self-defeating statements instead of being assertive. 

And after reading my comment on her thread in the forum, she posted this on mine:

Now, I've been called so many awful names recently, that actually, this is restoring my faith in humanity.

I think I should follow my own advice since now on and highlight everything I'm doing right, everything I'm good at, all I can really do well and all I'm wonderful for.

Sometimes life is sweet like chocolates... that are sweet! :)

PS: When we help somebody else, we're helping ourselves. Why don't we want to help one another more often?
