I thought it would be good to have somewhere to go daily to read something positive.

I've decided with my new way of life I want to be as positive as I can with friends, family, work, social life, food, etc.

I'm no longer the glass is half empty.

So, I'll go first.

I'm thankful that there was a medical intervention for me to change my life where food was concerned. I now have the opportunity to go in the opposite direction then where I was headed.

Awww...you made my cry, again. Man I'm such a wuz this week. Good for you girl!

Positive for me today - I weighed in and didn't gain. I didn't lose, but more importantly I didn't gain. Tomorrow is literally a new day - "new week" for me. My Mondays always start on Thursdays (weigh in).

Last night, lying in bed, DH said "You are so pretty". This is not uncommon. What was so wonderful was the look in his eyes. I knew he meant it, and for the first time in a very long time, I believe him.

very sweet - - !!

leslie my Monday is Fridays - i get ya:tongue:

this afternoon i have spent in my kitchen, prepping healthy meals - fresh veggies to grab onto - cleaned fruit - crockpot going - oven going.....drinking lots of WATER; starting back to basics!

Great thread!! I can't believe I am just now seeing it!

Positive for me today.....I feel great today!!! I feel healthier than I have felt in 10 years!!!

Oh, and I have the best family in the world...just thought I would add that in.

My positive is that I have been 4# from goal for a loooooooong time now BUT I am not freaking about it. Had surgery a week ago and came home with 12# to lose instead. I am back to 4# and plan on being patient. Not changing anything. Will just let it be a surprise when I step on the scale next week or the week after or the week after that. This band has taught me not to obsess about my weight.

Thanks Apples! I don't really have many before pictures. When I saw that one, I was shocked! I don't even remember looking like that, lol. Anyway, thanks!

Positive for me today: I'm very proud of myself for staying on track yesterday!! It motivates me to do it again today.

Something positive happened to me today so it put me in a positive mood! Someone I haven't seen in a while made a comment about how much weight I lost and how I look good. I am on cloud nine.
