Hi all...

I've noticed that we all (myself included!) have a tendency to focus on all the things that aren't going right, that we aren't doing right, or that we wish we could be better at. So I thought I'd start something new around here and get a post going that helps us remember all the successes that we have had in the past, in work, in family, in relationships, in schooling, whatever it might be.

So here it is...

What's going well in your life right now?

Great idea!

Mine is non-weight related. I've been working on a project at work that finished this weekend, and my e-mail all week has been filled with 'thanks' and 'congratulations' messages-and from some people who are knowm to be hard to please, and from many who are 'higher-ups' in the company. I'm pleased for me, but especially for my group who has worked very hard for a long time with little recognition.

Good job! Doesn't your whole day feel better when you get that exercise in? I find that everything else just seems to flow better for me - I have more energy, I feel more positive, etc when I get that exercise out of the way early.

Congratulations SJ! It always helps my self-esteem when other people recognize how hard I've worked on something.

Keep it up!

This has nothing to do with weight loss..


I've been very positive lately at work. Although with what's happening right now I know I couldve been miserable, but i purposely kept a

Good for you for not letting the crap at work get to you!

I know for me, when I start looking at the positive, it colors everything in a better way - and I feel stronger in facing my weight loss goals (and other goals) head on when I remind myself of all the victories in my past and future!
