Happy Birthday @leanstrongsexy

Good and Happy Thursday!
I wish you all a great day!I So far in this second week we have some friends struggling including myself. Don't let set backs take over you! YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU BELIEVE!!! We are in this together, to help each other and encourage each other. I believe in each of you, do you want to know why? Because you are here. You are here trying to make those changes needed to become a healthier YOU. Love yourself enough to know you are worth it and you CAN achieve your goals. Please don't let yourselves be discouraged and stay strong...stay the course!
With that.....The challenge question/fact for today....
Tell us something you like about yourself?1 -
Something I like about myself....well...Physically, I like my eyes. That's pretty much it. But lately I've been telling myself each day that I love myself completely. My legs for walking, my arms for carrying my baby, My back (which is what I hate most) for staying strong and keeping me up as I care for my family....and my whole body gets me thru workouts each day. Thank you body
Other than physically I like that I am always staying positive. In all situations I can just say well....look at the bright side. I love helping others and motivating them and showing support when they need it most. I like this about myself. But still there are certain things that can affect my positive and happy mood; the weather, PMS, and anything surrounding my mom.1 -

Struggles: sweets and pizza this week. Excuses: 1. I was at my Aunts and she wanted pizza and ice cream and who can say no to theire Aunt who is home bound. 2. Its my birthday week and I have been indulging. Thursday will be my last day to indulge.
Successes:
I know I am really late posting this but I started new job and have been really busy. I hope to do better this week AFTER my birthday.
Happy Birthday!!! I hope you have an awesome day. Enjoy yourself1 -
Tell us something you like about yourself?
Man, I used to really struggle with this, I'm my own worst critic. But I remind myself that if I don't love my body at the start, I won't when I reach my goal weight. So now I like my body, even with all the extra "padding," because of what it is capable of now and the ways I know I can improve it in the future. I still have those days where I pick myself apart in the mirror but not as much anymore.

Yea, I'm struggling a bit today too after what I thought was a good day of eating and exercise...didn't get enough sleep (5-6 hours) so retaining some water, and then this morning, my scale read three different weights - one super high (147), one super low (143.2) and one only mildly high (145.2). Think I'm going to wait until I hit the bathroom before I believe it...wondering if I need another new battery. Argh!
Something you like about yourself...
Physically, I too like my eyes. They have a cool shape, and people tell me they are very 'deep' because they are such a dark brown.
Personally, I love my analytical mind. It does get me in trouble since I can be a bit of a nit picker, so people misinterpret my observations as snarky when I am just trying to be helpful. However, I love that I can find patterns in just about any sort of data and am a great researcher of information (sort of like the dude in the movie A Beautiful Mind, but I'm not insane, er, I don't think).2 -

I'm struggling this week too! Yesterday was the worst. Long story short: I had to spend time with my husbands ex wife who has been nothing but rude and mean to me since the day I met her. She was nice yesterday but it made me so upset/mad being around her that I went home and ate an entire ice cream sundae and a couple bowls of chili. Disappointed in myself but staying on track today!
What I like about myself: I like my caring heart. I'm always looking for ways to help others.1 -
Something I like about myself....
Physically, I like my boobs and the strength in my legs (even if they are a bit chunky...its mostly muscle).
Otherwise I like my ability to self motivate and strength of mind.2 -
Can I still join in on this?2

Total LBS lost this month:
Weekly Goals: 1.) Abstain from my trigger foods (Sugar, Flour, Caffeine, Alcohol, Sweeteners, Processed Foods, etc.)
2.) Continue with meditation (12 day streak currently)
3.) Continue going to the gym 3 days a week.
4.) Tracking my impulses wrt to food addiction and cravings.
5.) Reading my mission statement 1st thing when I wake up and right before I go to sleep.
Struggles: 1.) Dealing with the emotions of my work and being more mindful of resisting the urge to binge when I get emotionally high or low. 2.) Staying persistent with the "I will" habits I'm trying to form (Meditation and Gym). Accepting this is a constant struggle and not a light-switch that I can just turn off.
Successes: Posting this here and wanting to become a member of a community where I can help others achieve their goals and get support in my battles.
I'm really looking forward to this.4 -

We still have people joining us and I think that's fantastic. Everyone is welcome! This is not a competition but a place to share our successes and struggles and a place to help us keep accountable no matter what our goals. Some people have only posted once or twice some have been coming on daily to answer the questions/facts and weighing in each week. I thank each of you for joining us and for helping us stay focused. Much love to each of you. Xxx3

Tell us something you like about yourself?
Physically: This is something that I'm struggling with at the moment... I like my smooth, pale skin and the contrast it creates with my dark eyes and hair. Yeah, that's probably about it... I'm hoping this will improve with time.
Otherwise: I like my musical and theatrical abilities.2 -
What do I like about myself?
Great question! We really should ask this of ourselves more often.
I like my legs that are very muscular and defined. I also like my hair which is still naturally blond even in my fifties.
I like my artistic abilities, and my confidence.2 -
