No dumping in December challenge

[BLAZING IN FL]

It’s time for another “feel good” challenge.
This month will be the “no dumping in December” challenge.

I challenge you in this month of December to stop dumping on yourself.



Here is how it works:

In the month of December you can not dump on yourself in any way, and on top of that, you will need to post positive comments about yourself weekly. Each person can choose how many times a week they want to post a positive message.



I am choosing to post 4 times a week during this challenge.



This has been a very good challenge for the past few months….members have had to look deep inside themselves and have found some great and positive things they had bottled up for years……this really gives you a great self soul search.

Here is the link to the challenge, just highlight the snoman and the words and paste into your siggie.

Re: No dumping in December challenge

I avoided the Thanksgiving one because I belittle myself everyday and really had to face myself in the October one. I see this one and realize the harm and have joined you. No dumping in December, so I'd better get it all out today!! hehe, it's hard because self depreciation is a huge part of my sense of humor and funny factor....

I'll pledge twice a week. I'm gonna start out slow.

Re: No dumping in December challenge

I'd love to join this challenge, too!

One of the things I find myself doing - and it really bothers my husband(!) - is that when I receive a complement, I don't accept it graciously and often find something depreciating to say. For example my husband will say "Good dinner, Hun!" and I'll say, "It could have used some more spice." when I should have said a simple, "Thank you!"

So I know self-praise is something I need to work on. I'll sign up for 2 positive things a week - but I'll aim for more!

Cheers,
Vickie

Re: No dumping in December challenge

I cheated after Thanksgiving, and gained 4 lbs....then i kicked myself in the butt and got back on track and lost 2 of the 4 lbs....i never stopped exercizing the whole time.

Also, i agree that we need to start accepting compliments givin to us and when they are given to us, we need to say thank you and not belittle the compliment.

Re: No dumping in December challenge

I made all the awards one jpg file...i went into my computer pic program and put them all into a collage and made one picture, it takes some time to do it, but you can put a lot more into your siggy....let me know if you need help doing it.

I'll join again Michelle. Put me down for 2 per week. Can you explain to me how you got all your awards onto that nice white poster? I can't put anything else in my siggy. Basically I need help with computer stuff!!! I want to put the cute December snowman in my siggy!!

Re: No dumping in December challenge

My first positive thing about me is........
I have stopped treating my bathroom scales as my master. How I feel and look is more important than a number.

Re: No dumping in December challenge

Here's one of the two positive statements a week I pledged to make:

I look fantastic - sizziling, in fact - in RED!
Just bought a red satin blouse to wear at this season's Christmas parties. Every time I'm tempted to nibble on the party goodies, I'll look down at my top and think about how gorgeous I'll look at my goal weight... in red!!!

Cheers everyone!
