A challenge to look for the good...

Msnatalieann

So I've kind of been labeled a "Negative Natalie". I honestly do have a hard time seeing the good in any situation. I had a tough life growing up, but I had one thing going for me that I took for granted: my body. When I met my husband 11 years ago, I was 18 and fat... At a whole 110lbs. I thought I was so fat and ugly because I had big thighs and my stomach was a little soft. What a freaking moron! Now, I'm inching up to 29 and leaping up to 260lbs. What. The. Hell. I'm a stress eater, big time. I love to give up on things, sleep all day, be a boring wife whose too afraid to run into people I used to know to go anywhere... Oh, did I mention I'm a little on the negative side? I also have this "little" problem called I hate everyone and everything. Some jerk book I just read was nice enough to point out that I hate everything because I hate myself. Great, more negativity. I may seem a bit sarcastic or like I'm making light of a horribly sad situation that I got myself into, but I'm really a depressed wreck. Soooooooo, I had this idea. I'm going to start really looking around for the good in the world. I know its out there. I just have to open my eyes and see it. So I challenge the rest of you "Negative Nancys" to get out there and see the good that is in the world and report back on this thread. Oh and another rule, Be The Good! If you don't see one good thing each day, do something good for someone. There's nothing too big or too small. Give a homeless guy a bottle of water. Help someone with their door. Look out for people you can help. Let's pay it forward. And let's stop being so negative and start being more positive. I bet we see a change in our physical selves. Who will accept my challenge? Who will be there to challenge me?
