I am lucky because...(add yours!) - MiniMins.com

toller-girl · 5th February, 2008

I am lucky because I have a wonderful husband who is also doing LL and helping me through it.

I have faced a challenging weekend with lots of food on offer, and have been able to refuse it.

I have been sticking to the diet for a week and a half despite previously having no will power!

I have a very generous mother who is helping towards the costs of the first 8 weeks of the diet.

For the first time in a very very long time, I can really see myself reaching my goals, and feel positive about my future.

So, why are you lucky?

Deb G · 5th February, 2008

I am lucky because....

I have finally succeeded in making myself on the outside, the person that I have always been on the inside...

I have a gorgeous slim new body that I am I dedicated to keeping....

I have the best hobby in the world (endurance riding) and the best horse (Malachy) to do it together with....

I have a great, challenging, rewarding job that pays well, I enjoy doing, AND fits in round my hobby...

I live in Cumbria, one of the most beautiful places in the country...

I've finally realised that I AM a worthwhile person!!! My self-esteem has rocketed....finally!

Blonde Logic · 5th February, 2008

I am lucky....

I have a supportive circle of friends and family around me

I have best friends that I have been friends with my entire life

I found the courage to face things I thought I could not change, and change them

I have a roof over my head, cloths on my back and food in my belly

Noone I know is in Iraq/Afghanistan

I have a willfull spirit

I am changing myself before it is too late

I have made some wonderful friends here

I love the rain and it rains here a lot

One day I get to move back to California and settle on our mountain that awaits us

Thats good for starters.

luckyloser · 5th February, 2008

I am lucky because............

I have a small family that love me unconditionally

I love my family unconditionally

Because i have finally found the strength to allow myself to make changes and be happy

I have my health which is only going to get better

Hubster finally relented and allowed me to have pets who give me so much joy

Because i can laugh until i cry and not care how daft i look!

My brother has finally bought a house and has a girlfriend that loves him dearly

I have a job that i don't detest

Curlygurl · 5th February, 2008

I'm lucky because:

I was born in the 'west' in the 21st century, so don't have to fight for survival, education, healthcare and equality (well - a bit for equality ;0)

I have a loving family who brought me up believing I could achieve anything

I have a great boyfriend whom I love and who loves me

I have wonderful friends who watch my back, make me laugh and amaze me with their wisdom

I have a fantastic job that rewards me in other ways than financial

I have an inquisitive mind, sharp wit and sunny disposition

I have sky plus.... sorry. But I do love it so..

Lots of reasons why I'm lucky and lots of things to be grateful for. Thanks for starting this post!

I am lucky because I have 5 beautiful daughters, and 5 beautiful grandchilden.

I have a lovely husband whom if I cloned would be worth a fortune. He is extremely fit and looks like Cliff Richard and can sing just as good, if not better.

I have fulfilled my dream with horses, and been extrememly successful at it.

I am comfortably off, and dont want for anything (at the mo whilst we are still working anyway)

I have found this thing called LIGHTERLIFE.

I have a wicked sense of humour.

I carry my age extremenly well, especially on the telephone

My health is improving with every 1lb I lose.

I am lucky enough to be looking forward to being 60 this year, cant wait. Free bus pass, prescriptions etc and pay no more NI stamp.

I am going back to Egypt for my holiday again this year whoooopeeeee

I am lucky to have made such wonderful supportive friends who help me on my journey.

AND most of all.

I am alive.

Madam Mimm · 6th February, 2008

I am lucky because:

I don't want for anything
I am healthy
I am happy
I have a truly wonderful family. We love eachother to death
I have the bestest friends in the whole world
I am free
I have stuck to LighterLife to the letter & lost weight
I have Minimins for when the going gets tough

Thank you for starting this thread. It gets you thinking in a really positive way. Great start to the day!!

Alibongo · 6th February, 2008

I am lucky because:

I found lighterlife when I am still young enough to make the most of the rest of my life but old enough to appreciate it. (I don't think I could have done this when I was younger, even though I needed it).
I have a lovely husband who supports me in anything I do.
I have a beautiful, happy, healthy little girl, for which I am grateful for every day.
I have a lovely family, and every one of them has been totally positive about me doing LL.
I have my health (which is now much improved)
I don't ache any more.
We have a lovely home, which we have worked hard for, but still feel we aren't grown up enough for yet
I have been lucky enough to be able to take time off to take care of my daughter until she goes to school.
I am lucky enough to be able to get back to work this year .
I have a pair of size 10 jeans that I can get on without laying on the bed and zipping them with a coat hanger.
I have made a whole bunch of new friends, on minimins and in my LL group.

ladylite · 6th February, 2008

Ooooopssssss I am UNLUCKY because I cant count I only have FOUR daughters.

Perhaps the senile dementia is kicking in already
