Pat Yourself on the Back ~ Positive You

Yesterday was a better day in following the rules.  I've been dealing with a super amount of stress lately and find myself looking for my chocolate fix.  I did have chocolate yesterday, just not as much as I have been eating and I had almost 3 bottles of water and ALL my vitamins.

Today I challenge each of us to find a positive in your life and focus on that for today.  Try to not allow other to dictate how you feel or how you react to a situation that may bother you.

If you want to post your positive here, please do and if not that's OK too; but find that positive today......we all have something to be grateful for.

I have a couple of positives I'll focus on today. 

1)  I have two healthy boys that bring lots of joy to my life.
2)  I am thankful for a Mom that is a best friend.
3)  Because of WLS I've met friends that I cherish.  I know when I need a pick-me-up it's just a text, call or post away.  Thanks to each of you for being a part of my life.

Hugs,

Too funny-I just posted MY positive for the day at the same time you posted.  Dang woman we think alike, lol.

Haha I posted the same thing on your thread.

We are alike, I love you Stephanie and I'm thankful to have you in my life.

Two positive posts...love it!!!!! I can do two in a day!!!!!

Focusing on getting my vitamins and water in! Had 64 oz yesterday! It took me a while, but I did it!!! Lots of positives in my life:

Grandbabies that I adore! They are able to say I love you MiMi...I love you ALL day long!
Adult kids that are great!
A loving hisband that is my best friend!
A brother that had benign results from a  biopsy!

OK, my OTHER positives for today include:

Started my own jewelry business 3 weeks ago
I've got 30-40 people coming to my house for a Memorial Day Girl's Party on Saturday
I've got 10 of my BESTEST friends spending the weekend at my house.
I have a husband that puts up with my craziness and rarely complains.
I've got a daughter in Grad school who drove home yesterday to help me get ready for the party.
I am loved...and so very thankful.

 

 

My big positive for the week is that for the first time ever I have all my students passing  the math TAKS test.  Our kids passed every test in every subject.  As a school we have never had that.  Now we are very small but we work with the kids that have never been successful on this test so we couldn't be happier.  Our kids were in tears when they got the news. 

My big positive for me is a very supportive boyfriend.  Who even since he cannot have WLS cause his insurance will not pay for it, went to his doctor and is on a diet, to help me, and himself, but really it helps me. 

I have co-workers who believe in me, and today I did an hour in water aerobics, and boy she kicked our hineys.  

I can repeat my positives!

I'm doing great! Lost almost 150lbs, wearing single digit undies and mostly out of X size clothes. Waiting on Onderland but if I stopped losing right now I'd take it.

My biggest positive is the love and support from my bestest friend...I also sleep with him at night!
