I found this recently and it got me thinking about how I word my pep talks. I get that it’s more a general statement and not about weight loss, but how I feel about my progress really does affect my emotional responses to other things in my life. I had a few things I say regularly but now I need to reassess if they are truly beneficial for the long term.

I’m trying to break myself out of the mindset that “if I can get to this size, or lose this weight, I can...”

Hi Dez ,welcome to our Positive Affirmations thread, and thank you for your share. And they don't all have to be about weight loss. I started it about weight loss and it has evolved to be so much more about life and positivity. So please feel free to come back often and share in what ever way you feel moved to do so. And you are so right words have a great impact on a person emotional response and impact the outcome either negatively or positively.
have a Great day and take care of yourself. Sending you a virtual hug for your beautiful insight and compassion. 🤗
💖🎈😀🌹🌹🌹

morning here, job starts again soon

Today two subjects each one sensible for me, I will put only one quote for each one who says everything , this is Loiality



And the other one is about Losing weight means also sometimes losing character ? Yes , I know persons which were different before, the more they lost , the worst it was. Maybe for themselves it was a good result, but for us , the friends, they have changed in bad

So why sometimes people change and they do not offer the same as when they were in pain and in trouble?
Or maybe Dez was right and in fact the friends he/she had and needed when he/she tried to lose were toxic
So get rid of the kilos, get rid of the friends too

So "the answer my friend is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind"

Pam it breaks my heart that people would treat you badly after they loss the weight while your still on the journey to success. But people are like that sometimes, it reminds me of two things my mom always said to me, 1 - you can't determine how people will act or what they will do, the only person you can truly depend on in life is God and yourself. Because God is always faithful to us and loyal to us unconditionally. And when we love ourselves and accept ourselves as we are, we too treat ourselves with that same unconditional love.

The other thing she said was, people come and go in and out of our lives but we are always with ourselves. So we need to do better and be better, to and for ourselves always. She always told me to be my own best friend because she was the one I would always go crying to when my so call best friends would hurt or disappoint me or let me down in some way.

My mom's always said your true character is how you act when no one is looking. And I really believe that.

I hope your day was good yesterday for some reason the original forecast for yesterday was Sunny with clear skies and 75 degrees. It turned out to be 63 and cloudy and overcast. However it just made working in the garden better without the sun beating down on my back. Both of your quotes are spot on today reflecting the world is not always a nice place for nice people. But what the nice people have to do is seek and find the other nice people in the world and huddle up together.

Have a wonderful Monday until we chat in our very special Thread again. Sending virtual hugs your way.🥰😍😁💖💖

Today's positive Affirmation : I am a magnificent being of power and light! Love is the light, freedom the path, empowerment the goal. Empowerment and positive thinking are definitely not about “drinking the kool-aid” they are about making your own lemonade. Today my mind transcends either/or thinking and explores new possibilities!

April 5, 2021 - Have a Wonderful Monday Everyone

Yes not nice people forgotten. This video is amazing and beautiful. Thank you so much. Celebrating my Birthday in 6 mins. so excited couldn't go to sleep. Going to the spa at 9 for a massage, manicure and pedicure to celebrate being at goal and 5 under. Doing this instead of a food celebration. Also my daughter bought me a yarrow plant and a orange fizz geranium plant for my garden and some lavender seeds. This is going to be the best birthday ever. And I have a 2 new friends you and Beth in my life and you both are very nice and supportive.
And your both from outside of the USA which is really cool. It's like when I was a kid and had a pen pal in France when I was taking French. Not going to talk your head off. Have a wonderful Day and don't work to hard. And I will report to your tomorrow on all my Birthday shenanigans. Hugs

Well, I am in my break , cause I have sleeping issues Got a secret/Can you keep it/Well all my friends know I cannot sleep continously , and what I was thinking about today is that weight loss as I said before should come also with being a better person, all this process imo makes us more empatic, more open, more dedicated to help other people

What is losing weight? If you do this just for your silhouette or health , is nothing. You are doing this for a better you ,not only good looking or healthier but also a better mentally and from the soul point of view ,you will exit from yr shell and have the courage to open to the others, cause if you made all this effort, you got the courage and you got the brain

I am very shy person in real life in order to express myself , but my heart is full of good for the others
I wonder sometimes why
I will call it EVOLUTION and today the quotes are about this

Pam - wow we really do think alike. One of the things I said was after I loss my weight this time was I would help others and lose weight and set the example by not putting it back on. I have been a serial dieter all my life. And this time I know I want to help all the other serial dieters successfully lose the weight and keep it off. And the only way I can do that is by doing it myself. In other words I have to walk the talk. I have always been a giver. I volunteer my time, but I want to give in a way that has a major impact on someone's life and what better way than to help someone become healthier and live longer. Which is why I blog about my journey and insights and experience as a 5'1 inch woman who weighted 227 pounds and who's son was ashamed to have her attend his Swimming Banquet which was the final blow 3 years ago that made me so determined to get healthy and fit even more than the dr. telling me I was well on the way to becoming diabetic and having to be on insulin for the rest of my life. I love todays quotes when I was heavy I had a hard time sleeping because I had sleep apnea and a overactive bladder. Now 105 pounds later both are gone. Along with my reflux which is amazing to me. When I worked I was a Human Resources manager so I have always been a people person. I love engaging and interacting with people. My mom used to say when I was a little kid I would talk to strangers and she was always afraid I was going to be kidnapped. And then she laugh and say they would bring you back because you never shut up you would talk them to death.
I better let you go. Mom was right I do talk a lot. You have a great day and keep the awesome quotes coming I really love them.

Today's positive Affirmation is :Struggle is my boot camp preparing for bigger and better things! I refuse settle for where I am, when I know I have better within me! Today I live with a purpose and my purpose lights my path!

Good morning as dark as night is 4 almost from an early bird like me Hugs to everybody

Well yesterday talking with one of my best friend I realize we often underestimate ourselves of what we can do, what we can achieve

I do frequently at work this and sometimes it helps cause I am more ambitious , as much as I suppose I cannot do something , as much as I succed

But in the last months I changed a bit and I am more basing on my knowledge and I trust more myself
Cause we are progressing every day to a better us

So the quotes of toda are dedicated to all who are feeling small or not able to do something, to lose weight, to obtain what they want , to reach their dreams a Wow lot of them that I love, so today more than usual

Don't Underestimate yourself

These are awesome. It reminds me of a song from a long time ago I think it was by Alicia Key - something about Knowing your worth. I am really bad with two things names of people and names of songs. I can tell you everything about a person and forget their name, I can tell you what the song was about but not the name of the song. These are so true for many women. I thing part of it is society has always under estimated women and our contributions. And our worth and we are doing what we have been taught in our role as woman. We have to unlearn these roles. In my book your awesome. And on that note. thanks for sharing such enlightenment today and have an awesome day tomorrow.
