Sending out some good vibes

[StillSmiling]

Mods, please correct me if I'm misusing this forum... I just thought it was a fantastic opportunity to send some love out to those who dwell at the ADBB.

Today, my wish for us all is: the courage and conviction to continue toward our goals; the self-love and compassion to be kind to ourselves in the meantime, and the day-to-day wisdom to know the difference.

BigLove to all,

S.

Still Smiling,

Today my wish to all is this: Wishing all of you to make healthier choices. Healthier choices turn into healthier habits. Healthier habbits turns into a healthier lifestyles!
Love to all, Sherri

The gift of positive thinking!!!!

Retrain Your Brain
Changing your attitude means changing your "self-talk" or internal monologue. Self-talk is the chattering conversation you have with yourself all day long, whether you are aware of it or not. It's the voice in your head that says, "I'm too fat" or "I'm not good enough!" I don't need to go on, do I? You know what I'm talking about — these are the kind of thoughts that hold us back!
Guess what? This is the kind of useless negativity that's keeping you from being the best that you can be. It's time to turn it around once and for all. You need to retrain yourself to think positively! Imagine what would happen if you changed the dialogue so that it sounded more like this: "I can lose weight and be healthy, exercise to the best of my ability, and get stronger and better at it every time I do it." Your self-talk can mean the difference between happiness and despair, and success and failure. If you start making your self-talk more positive and affirming — and less defeatist and self-depreciating — your whole life will change for the better.

Sherri and Norah; Thanks for your kind and helpful comments. Today, for some reason, my appetite is going over the top for the first time since I've been back on plan (um... 19 days). So, my wish today for all of us with this current struggle is "moderation".

My wish for you all is Peace. Peace in the struggle to win the war against obesity. I heard it said in the movie "the Secret" that Sister Theresia would never march in an Anti war Protest. But if asked to walk in a Peace March, she would indeed.

Peace to know we are becoming who we are meant to be at this very moment in time. Peace to understand why we have walked in the shoes in which we have walked. Peace to press on into wellness.

Peace.

For you all... I wish Peace.

You're welcome StillSmiling. Love "moderation" I'm a true believer in it! Grab'in me some of that energy and passing it on.
My wish for everyone today is to don't be afraid to just take baby steps to "Get Moving". Get out and walk, do some floor exercise, just MOVE! Pretty soon those baby steps will turn into leaps and bounds. Go for it!

My wish... no... my tip for you all is this: When you're feeling blue, when things look bleak, just treat yourself to a huge smile. Smile wide with your lips, with your cheeks, with your eyes... with all you facial muscles.
It's amazing how much better this'll make you feel. It has a truly physical effect on mood!
