Nice sdereski!! So I did my kickboxing video tonight with the guys watched the first pre-season game of the Broncos. Was perfect timing!!! This is a different video than I had done before and at the end he said something I wanted to share with you all. He said that you have to love yourself to change. That made me think…

I don't know why this posted twice...sorry

No wonder you are so hard on yourself. 100% is un-realistic! If we were perfect, there would be no need for Jesus! Being a parent is the most difficult thing I have ever done! It is wonderful that you are sticking with your sister and trying to help her! I can't wait to see you during the rest of your journey! You are in…

Well Amy, I wish someone would have told me a long time ago I was doing too much for them. The oldest is 22 and is having a terrible time navigating this world. My youngest is 13 and at the age where anything mom says must be wrong so undoing it is becoming a huge issue. I am not sure I know how to if I am totally honest.…

Amy, this is my biggest battle. Everyone say's that I have baby'd my son's too much because I do too much for them...but it is so in my personality to take care of others. After my divorce, it was just my youngest son and I and I had plenty of 'me' time. Then mom moved back in with me and it got a lot more difficult but I…

Today I am going to read my book at lunch and do a work out video at home. I am really having a hard time finding 'me' time again and I have got to figure out why and how to make sure I don't get sucked into the rut again. Last night I wanted to go to the gym but when I got home, the printer would not work and my husband…

Don't you just want to slap the friend but at the same time give her a hug and say 'Things can be better!' You are flying throught that book! So glad you are enjoying it. Cathy Lamb has become one of new favorite authors! I am reading the new book in the Clan of the Cave Bear series right now and then I will be reading…

Oh and by the way....good job!! Have you decided to post a blog yet?

That book will make you cry, laugh out loud, smile, and inspire....it is by far the best book I have read this year! You will have to share with me as you go through it!

I get it and think it a wonderful idea!!!! Can't wait to hear how it works!! Keep us posted!

Oh my goodness we have some wonderful people in this world!! You all reminded me of some other things I like about myself and I really needed it this morning. What I did today to love myself..... I stoped some stinkin' thinkin'!!! When I was getting dressed today and my pants were tight I got a bit upset with myself for…

OK so I was wondering if you all would like to try something. List 5 things about yourself that you do like! I will go first. 1. I like my smile 2. I like that I am a total cry baby! (I say my eyes leak) 3. I like that music moves my very soul 4. I like that I enjoy reading and not tv (I watch maybe 3hrs a week) 5. I like…

Omg there are so many things you learn about yourself after divorce. I remember when I moved into my apartment and went to the grocery store, I was putting things away and thought...this is MY tylenol that I am putting in MY bathroom cupboard and no one take it, use it or tell me 'no'!!! I am woman hear me roar!!!! lol I…

That is awesome!!

And don't speed while you bink because they are watching you! lol

Today I logged onto MFP and found encouraging words from wonderful people! Thanks!

No problem. I have had such an epiphany in the last year about who I am and my worth. I was put down by my entire family except for mom who was completely indifferent. I was raised with no self worth. Then I was in a 21 yr marraige that was emotionally abusive. I just knew somehow I must be the most abnormal person on the…

I think you will find that the feelings you have that you thought were odd and uniquely odd to you alone....are actually very common which will help others and yourself. You are not weird or odd....you are very normal and unique and beautiful! You are going to love "Such a Pretty Face"! Have you got it from the library yet?

I don't think it is narcissistic at all Amy!!! AND it doesn't matter if other people think that...what matters is what you think and how it makes you feel. If it is healing....DO IT! You may touch someone who is stuggling with the same feelings! It is a beautiful thought to write a letter to yourself! That is so…

Today....I took a 30 min walk during my lunch! Then ate a peanut butter on wheat sandwich at my desk after! It was a great lunch! Yaaa me! :laugh: :happy:

Wow that is so darn cool!!!

Amy, Excatly! Some of us are people pleasers and it consumes us! Remember to please yourself too! You wont be able to take care of anyone if you don't take care of you first! Just like the "put the oxygen mask on yourself before you put it on your kids' speech on an airplane! You deserve to take care of you too!!!

I did not tell myself 'No'!! I always get busy doing things for other people and then say "No" to myself when I need something. So when I had the choice of going to the post office for my son or going on a walk at lunch, I went for a walk! :love:

Amy, I don't know if this will help or not but it is what I experienced. Part of why I am over weight is because I was so busy nurturing everyone else around me, that I lost myself. Someone asked me what my hobbies were and I honestly could not answer that question. I knew what everyone in my family liked and did...but not…

I have been thinking about going to see my chiropractor and he also does accupuncture. I think I will make that appointment. It makes sense that something is not right since I have re-injured it again only after a few months. I want this healed for good!

That makes sense. I will continue to excercise it a bit and ever so gently. lol

My question would first be: What are you eating that takes that long even with the interuptions? Maybe you just need to choose something different? I eat instant oatmeal at work for breakfast sometimes and I am answering phones and all that too and it still only takes me maybe 15 min. Hmmmm, maybe a smaller or easier meal…

Try taking some midol. It always works for me with the water, bloat, muscle relaxer. I even give it to my husband when his back hurts...it really does work for that time!

Destiny, I shope at 3 different stores. I found a store that sells boxed, canned items (including cereal) and frozen items that have been dented for about 75% less! I usually spend about $25.00 there. Example: Large box of Cheerios = $1.25. Try to find one of these stores! I go to a store called Save O Lot for my meat and…

I did not weigh in this morning...I'm scared to! lol I ate really badly this last 4 days and TOM is on it's way again sooooooo it would not have been a pretty sight and why make myself feel bad 3 days before my Vegas vacation! I would love to do the Valentine challenge! Will we set our own goal (say 10 lbs) a group total…
