esteem

[plussizebarbie]

Hi guys,

As a therapist, I often work with people with low self esteem. Yes, this is coming from someone with 0 self esteem but there you go.
Any how, was just thinking me could do an exercise to really boost our egos and big ourselves up!!
With low self esteem, we often focus on the negatives, often overlooking the postives.
I think you should all post all the positive, good things about yourself and also, any compliments you have received lately.

I hope you don't find this cheesier than a multipack of wotsits, i just think we all need a boost from time to time xxxx

Good idea - could do with a boost of self-esteem

1) I just did a whole week of LT! Never thought i would, but i have been strong and done it

2) I was complimented for creative thinking

3) I was told i would be a good union rep

1. I was told by my manager I have intellectual horsepower
2. I too have managed a whole week on LT (second time round is harder for sure)

2. I can finally fit into size 16 jeans.

[Yasmine]

Awesome! Isn't it great when a pair of trousers get too big for you?

 

[Fattylicious_Gurl]

definitely! and its also awesome when u get to a size 16 cos then u can shop in most shops! (especially primark heehee) well done

 

[Yasmine]

Hellz yeah! I can't wait to start shopping when I'm slim, then I'll actually start to love shopping.

 

[Fattylicious_Gurl]

[Yasmine]

EXCUSE ME! i complimented you !! when i saw you at tani's house I said your stomach looks so small! you poo!

no one said anything nice about me and i have put on 5lbs...

my best compliment has to be the look on OHs face when he saw me after 3 months. he looked at me like as if I was on a catwalk

1. Everyone at work , keeps saying I look amazing - one manager actually told me I look like a completely different person and he did not recognise me.
2. I have gone from a size 20 in trousers to a size 14
3. When my daughter came home at Christmas from University , she said WOW !! and said my jeans looked great.

 

[Fattylicious_Gurl]

i wonder when guys will start staring at me... heheh jk x

 

[MrsFatBum]
