What do you like about yourself today

that I am getting much better at Yoga.

Just realizing how hard it is to answer this question. Lately, I seldom feel "good" about myself anymore. I am down on myself for my slow weight loss and not willing to believe that there are things about me, that I should be able to appreciate. I know this is wrong....but geeze I can't snap out of this fog. Karen G

I'm right with you on the frustration over the slow loss. I've lost 97-100 lbs, depending on how my body decides to play today, I'm almost to 200 lbs, and I so desperately want to be under. The scale hasn't moved since I hit that -100 mark 2+ months ago. And I'm not quite sure what to do to make my body let me get to where I want to be. Contributing to the usual January brain fog is the fact that we just went through 17 days without any sunshine. Warmer than usual, but cloudy, foggy, misty. The sun actually shone today for awhile. I've been able to reaffirm how far I'm come by wearing some of my old clothes around the house. Things that used to be tight now just about fall off, so that is helpful. But the plateau frustration tends to overpower everything, so I'm with you in that fog. Sue O.

that 3 pound fluctuation is really very normal. i remember when I was getting close to 200 pounds I was just dying to get there, and hit a plateau too. It seems very common. I was at 201 for ages... hang in there. & feel good for your successes! You should be so proud of how far you have come! I found the one way to break a plateu was to buy a couple nice out fits that I really liked and BOOM the losing would start back up so I would wear that outfit 1 -2 times and then have it get too big.

I know you have many, many positive things about you. being a slow loser is hard, but it is not who you are, it is numbers on the scale and it does not cancel out the good things about YOU! You are a kind caring person who shares a lot on the boards!

Thanks Willow. I think the greyness of the season affects my persona..... almost makes me feel grey inside. Perhaps the sun will shine, making my day alittle brighter. I miss the better weather. Have a great day, Karen G

Funny that you ask this question today. It has been a very "down" day--something which I don't usually have. Today there is pretty much nothing I like about myself. I am hoping that tomorrow will be different. Great you are getting better at yoga!

you are so pretty, and have been a tremendous support to me on several occasions. very inspiring!

I love the fact I gave up my extra energy to take some loving time with my animals today..It was very pretty out I took the birds outside let them walk around while I picked up sticks that not my job the sticks thing... Then brought them in gave the a bath both of them ..brushed my cats.. played with the dogs and gave 1 1/2 hrs to the new abused cat I got on Sunday.. bathed her clipped her nails found a toy she'd play with and laid on the floor and played with her.. tried a few new name she came close to coming to one of them... Made her a condo bed out of my grandmother old wicker basket... I just made it a pet loving day..the whole day...It made me feel good I got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning...(back pain) I'm fighting taking pain meds..So I done good. Wendy

Thanks very much for the compliment. What a rough day yesterday was--in a little slump but I am sure I will snap out of it soon. BTW--I appreciate your knowledge of various medical issues and the support you give to all--even when "some of us" (myself included) grow impatient and snippy.
