Nikki Massie started the topic Artificial sweeteners don't help people lose weight, review finds in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 4 months ago
My initial reaction. Uhhhhh…DUH!
I get that some folks feel like if they don’t eat sugar they will lose weight. I guess maybe because I’ve been in this world so long, I recognize that you can use a sugar…[Read more]

Maria A replied to the topic QOTD: (7/19) How do you feel about yourself? in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 4 months ago
I have to say, I am learning to be proud of myself, but this has taken years and years of psychotherapy and practice to do so. I am proud of myself for going through WLS and losing over 130 lbs. With the loss of weight I feel I have become more confident in myself and not as hesitant to speak up. I feel most times what I have to say is just as…[Read more]

Since I never left the house yesterday, I wasn’t able to complete this yesterday. However, I did complete today. After my allergy shots I usually stop in the little cafe downstairs from the office for a cup of coffee. I left $5 with the cashier to pay for the person after me. Unfortunately I should have told her that I wished to remain anonymous,…[Read more]

Was out the door early today to get a blood test done and get my allergy shots. I am very sore today because yesterday I had it in my head to accomplish a major cleaning project. I took down curtains in 2 rooms (they were absolutely disgusting dusty and dirty since they hadn’t been washed at all since moving into our house 10 years ago!!), washed…[Read more]

My work schedule / business obligations yesterday didn’t leave me time to go to the store and leave money or pay it forward for coffee or anything. However, I found money on the ground and left it for the next person. It was a deliberate act, because usually we consider the coins in the street to be “Grandma saying hi”, so I always pick them up,…[Read more]

Woo hoo! my favorite thing to do. And this week with the bosses in town has been kicking my butt, so forcing myself to make time for me is a good thing.

Wednesday!
No idea why I had exclamation points there because I do NOT feel great today. But the sun is shining and I’m alive so I’m still grateful.
Today is going to be a low-key day. Work, then probably home for just dinner and an early bedtime.
Eats:
Cottage cheese w/ strawberries, blueberries and Fiber one
Whatever my Lunch Bunch work…[Read more] -
Nikki Massie started the topic QOTD: (7/19) How do you feel about yourself? in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 4 months ago
A friend of mine asked this on Facebook and it was a thought provoking question. We don’t think about ourselves a lot, except maybe to occasionally criticize ourselves. But today I’m asking you how you feel about yourself? Are you proud of who you are? Satisfied with who you are? Do you feel good about the person you are?
It’s not an easy…[Read more]

Today’s task:
Spend an hour catching up on your reading.
Now. I’m not going to put any rules around what kind of reading this is. (I personally am going to finish up Women, Food and God ahead of tomorrow’s book club discussion!) It can be a book. Some magazines. Articles on the internet. But we all seem to have things we’ve filed away because w…[Read more]

Sorry you had a stressful day. Hugs.
Question: How have you been feeling physically? Like…your body?

If a task proves stressful instead of relaxing, don’t do it!
Remember the main thing with this challenge is trying + holding yourself accountable.

This one took some thought! I pulled into my dentist’s parking lot today and totally scored by finding the best parking space open. But I left it for the next person instead and parked further away.
I would like to say I often park farther out and walk more but that wouldn’t be true!

My act of kindness today was to fill my daughter’s car. It was empty and she doesn’t get paid till Friday. She did not ask or even mention it, I just did it. Not terribly random as she will know it was me, but it still made me feel good to do it.

Thanks for the clarification. I was going to count my mail to my niece and nephew, but they’ll know it’s from me. So now I have to find something else. Not a huge deal, just has to be done. It will make me happy.
As an aside, my sister has been doing a “mission xx” every year for the last several years, where xx is her age. This is how she spends…[Read more]
