I saw that someone posted this in a blog, but I want to see what everyone else thinks about themselves...please be honest! Helps others to understand that it isn't only the bigger people that have flaws or imperfections that you personally think of yourself!

10 things I like about myself!
~1.) I like my hair, it is naturally curly so I can leave it alone and be curly or I can straighten it.
~2.) I like my laugh, it is very contageous.
~3.) I have pretty hands, even though my middle fingers curve slightly.
~4.) I love my long nails....all natural.
~5.) I love that I am not superficial, I know I am not perfect, but I am me.
~6.) I love that I am not materialistic, I refuse to spend over $10 for a pair of shows or $20 for a pair of jeans. I only own 3-4 pairs of shows. Shoes to work out in, flip-flops, work shoes and slip ons.
~7.) I am an empath....no not some weird psychic stuff...but if someone tells me about something bad they are experiencing (or good) , I feel their pain and sadness. I can change moods to match the person that I am talking to. Helps me relate and feel others pain.
~8.) I love my mild form of OCD....helps me weed out the untrue friends and helps me keep a clean and assymmetrical lifestyle.
~9.) I love that I am a couponer.....I feel pure joy knowing that I have saved so much money.
~10.) Lastly, I love my quirkiness.

10 Things I dont like about myself
~1.) I dislike my weight that I have let myself pack on.."muffin top" as its referred to ( of course, thats why we are here lol)
~2.) I dont like my knees. I have knobby knees.
~3.) I dislike the word "hate", I refuse to use it on or against anyone or anything.
~4.) I dislike that I feel like I am always under a lot of stress.
~5.) I dislike how I am judged mainly on my weight.
~6.) I dislike my teeth, due to a childhood accident.
~7.) I dislike that I dont have very many friends because I took a different path in life than they did (I graduated high school, went to college, started a family and completely skipped the partying years & I dont drink)
~8.) I dislike that I have this whole double chin thing doing on LOL ;)
~9.) I dislike that I hold grudges against those that have wronged me, for far too long.
~10) Lastly, I dislike that sometimes, I feel like I am being a show off. (Example: I work in an area where I am the only person under the age of 40. I have always been good with computers so when they come to me for help with something and me being the newbie that has worked here for under 2 yrs and most of them for over 15 yrs. I feel as though I am being a showoff)

These are a few things that I like and dislike about myself. Please add your own list so we can feel not so alone in our struggles and successes.I don't care if you are 300+lbs or 100 lbs soaking wet. There is always something that you like or dont like about yourself. Please feel free to share!!!! and remember....no one is here to judge you!!! :) Have a wonderful Monday everyone!!!

    04 - I am teaching my children about philanthropy by being a great role model and volunteering often.
    05 - I am a supportive person to my friends, family and even strangers. People feel they can talk to me without judgement, because they CAN!

    02 - I don't like not being able to run for long periods of time without feeling like dying.
    03 - I don't like having big feet (size 10!) when I'm a shorty (5'3!).
    04 - I bite my fingernails (not super short) and I've tried to quit for years without success.
    05 - I don't always handle stress very well.
    06 - I didn't attend college.
    07 - I have a difficult time saying "no" to people sometimes and find myself getting walked on from time to time.
    08 - I sweat. All. The. Time. On my head. It's horribly embarrassing.
    09 - I am a jealous person which has interfered with my relationship on more than one occasion.
    10 - While I do not struggle with motivation like many people seem to, I do have difficulty with discipline and accountability.

    HAPPY MONDAY!!!
