    Hi

    I love this idea :happy: I really need to do the same, but it's tough. I have started looking at myself in a full length mirror & trying to do the whole positive self talk, it's not easy, but hopefully it'll be worth it :wink:

    It's time to leave the negativity behind and put the pink glasses on! Focus on what progress we've made and the fact we did make the first step realizing we need to stop the bad habits and start new healthier life, CUZ WE ARE WORTH IT!

    I need this group. My husband said he has never seen anyone be so unhappy with themselves. He thinks I look amazing and I just see all the things I want to change. I have a 15 month old who I stopped breastfeeding a few months ago so my body is finally mine again after almost 2 years. I have been exercising again and the baby weight is definitely coming off but I still have that negativity come out in me. I now have changed from I wish my body was smaller to wait I don't want certain parts of me to change too much. It seems like no matter what I have a complaint about myself. My husband is constantly telling me how beautiful I am but I can't seem to stop criticizing myself. I hope this group helps me love me no matter what. I feel like I am wasting my life spending so much time concerned with how I look.

    I love this. I work with all men and I am constantly hearing negative and degrading thoughts on women and their bodies. It can be hurtful at times even though they are not talking about me or trying to offend me. It would be wonderful to be part of a community of positive and motivating women!

    I love the idea and name of this group. I have such a negative view of my body, especially when I compare myself to my sister (super tiny and petite). It's great to have a group like this to realize the positives in each other. Looking forward to chatting with you ladies! :)

    I definitely need this group. I've NEVER been happy with me. I'm really trying to change this self defeating attitude because I realize now how much it's held me back in life. Not only with my weight but with everything.

    Feel free to friend me.

    Wow! Thank you everyone for joining me on this adventure! We all have areas in our lives that we really dont like.. and unfortunately most of them are about ourselves and the image we have of ourselves.

    Its all a simple process... that simple "I am beautiful" that you say to yourself. The more you repeat it to yourself daily, the more that you will believe it!!!

    I'm so keen to have eveyrone, including myself, love themselves! Its such a hard task to do, however much you think no i cant... the real answer is Yes You Can!

    Thank you again for joining me on this journey :love: :love:

    I am so glad I found this group! THANK YOU so much for starting it, this is exactly what women need these days. In a world where we are bombarded with airbrushed images of perfection, we have to learn to love ourselves for exactly what we are and realize that we are all beautiful. I love it! So excited to be here.

    Hi, all, you gorgeous people!!!

    I think this is a great idea for a group. Today, I think I need it!

    Let me explain... I'm constantly told how attractive I am, that I have a great body, that I'm very sexy, and, in some ways, I do feel all of those things. Thank goodness I'm one of those eternally optimistic types.... the trouble is that I had a bit of a reality check this morning.

    I joined a gym in March, got a FitBit activity tracker, bought all the exercise dvds and equipment....and also one of those clever, WiFi, digital scales. Well, I began the Brazilian Butt Lift workout program today - honestly, it was really tough. But the worst part was catching sight of myself in the mirror....and comparing myself to those truly, gorgeous, lean, young bodies... and then looking at my very overweight, fat self, red faced and sweating.... and it dawned on me that I've been fooling myself! Big time. Especially as my weight has actually gone up since my 'health and fitness' campaign began in March... and I calculated it today in lbs (I'm in the UK, so use kgs) and I realised I've just tipped the 200lb mark - eeeek!

    So, yes, I still love my body, but there really, really needs to be a whole lot less of it! Today, I looked for a new group of people who will be in it for the longer haul, ie, until December, and beyond, if I'm honest. I'm just committing to doing something every day towards my 'even more gorgeous' body goal so that I will truly like the trimmer, toned down version of me!

    I can already feel my butt getting sore, even though I couldn't keep up with the first Bum Bum workout, so I'm off to the gym now for my Run, Zombie, Run program, to hopefully fend off the stiffness.....

    I can do this, I can do this,.... :-)

    everyone is welcome to friend me also. I tend to be negative about myself to and developed a unhealthy body image. I have been around a negative enviroment to where that was all I knew. so I want to break that. whenever someone compliments in my mind its always there's some kind of string attached be it money, clothes etc they want from me. in my family compliments were only given if someone wanted to have something of yours. I need to learn to accept compliments which is hard to do.

    Thank you so much for starting this group! I have always had horrible self image! Even after I lost 40 lbs and had a tummy tuck, I still feel "not good enough" but I am starting to think in my current mindset nothing will be good enough. I have heard people say that they love themselves even when heavier and I can't fathom that, i don't love myself thin. I am constantly told how beautiful I am and how I don't need to lose weight and I want to get to the point where I believe it!

    I always feel "vain" if I think nice things about myself. I'm seeing a therapist and he is trying to get me believing that it isn't vain to love yourself.
