Thread: Things that made you feel good about yourself today??

Hi evryone!! Hope you are all doing and feeling good?? Yesterday for the first time this year i resisted anything out of a gorgeous big box of choclolates that someone brought into work!! Even though evryone else was having some and trying to talk me into it!! It actually made me feel really good resisting and saying no, empowering even?!? I know it is only a silly little thing but made me feel great!! Does anyone else have anything, big or small that made them feel this way today?? Could be anything from resisting naughty food, having someone pay you a lovely compliment, making a lovely new recipe you havnt tried before??? Please share?? Xx

Great idea for a thread - hope it catches on!

So, this makes me feel good, but not sure why, and I was just looking for somewhere to post it, so here seems a good place: I have just ordered a slow cooker, which should arrive at the weekend, and I am sooooo excited about it & the possibilities it brings.

Also, I was just looking at my (corporate) shirt & thinking its a little large, and that I may go & ask for a smaller one!

Well done hun!! You must be so proud! Sometimes its the little things that make a difference!! And all those little things will eventually add up and be huge!! Let me know how you get on with your slow cooker xx

Doing a bit of (very unplanned!) exercise at the weekend made me feel great. I dropped my car of at the garage and went to get the bus home before realising that I'd forgotten my purse(!) so I ended up walking the 3 miles back home. Doesn't sound like much but I don't do much exercise (naughty, I know) so every little helps.

I also declined some delicious looking birthday cake the other day and people looked at me like I had horns or something!

Oh, and I put my normal work trousers on this morning, the ones that were too tight before Christmas, and they're getting big on me now

That is amazing!! 3 miles is loads!! I love it when your clothes get looser!! Xx

Similar to yours Kelly, a big box of krispy kreme doughnuts arrived at work yesterday! Very pleased to report I had an apple instead!! Go me!!!

Abs go you!! Also on saturday i took practically evrything i own in a size 16 and listed it on ebay lol!?! No way back now!! Just really hope i dont have any nights out sprung on me in the next few weeks lol!! I have nothing to wear!! Xx

Miss Kelly I love your Viszla (or at least from what I can tell from the little photo the doggie is a Viszla!) I just mine down a month ago and still miss him muchly!

Even though I gained 3.2lbs which I'm putting down to *week I can still fit into my coat which means it is a fake gain otherwise the coat would be snug like before. So I'm ignoring the scales this week and feel good that my coat is getting looser

Hi, yeah he is a viszla, he is my abs baby!! Im so sorry to hear about your puppy, i do not know what i will do when that day comes!! He is only 2 so hopefully it a long way away!! What age was yours and what was his name?? That is amazing your coat is loose!! Your gain is probably just fluid retention because of your star week!! Obviously you are doing something right if your clothes feel too big xx

You can't miss that rusty coat anywheres. Are you on the Scottish Viszla forum? If you are you might recognise him. Brogan was 8 and I believe he was injured with his previous owners, but he wasn't a complainer so I don't think they realised. I rescued him in June so didn't have him for ages, but he was my baby and he was a baby loved to cuddle on the floor together. What breeder did you get him from?

Yeah, the coat being loose tells me it's all fake weight that and the fact my jeans are still fairly loose even though I'm also wearing thermals! I'll keep going as this isn't putting me off, if I wasn't sure what it was or the fact that I gain 5lbs then I might be concerned. I'll hopefully get a nice surprise at the end though with a decent weight loss!

Aww how sad!! Im not on the forum but will check it out!! Bet you have a huge loss next week, just try and drink plenty of water to balance out the *week fluid, that always helps for me xx

Great thread!

For me - 100% so far today and I walked from Farringdon to Victoria (via Green Park) rather than using the tube or a cab

Really liking this thread, which is so nice.

Well done to everyone, we should all be proud to celebrate our achievements, no matter how small

I had my hair cut on Friday and I actually got it to look like it did when the hairdresser did it!!
