I did not post yesterday, was up to 213 and was very busy. Feeling better today.

It is very important to me to be "real" here. That means telling the truth even when I hate it. I really want to let others know you are NOT alone! So many struggle with weight issues and other issues. Mine are many. Yet we function. We accomplish, we survive. And we raise good families and help other people. 

Hmmm. Take your own advice.

OK Lani, here it is. You are not perfect, not even close. You could list your faults by the hundreds, that is not productive. So start listing your good points.

I think first, I care about other people. They are important to me. More important than I am. I make it a goal to do "something" good for someone as often as I can in a day. Sometimes, in fact the majority of the time, it is simply saying the nice thought I just had about them out loud to them!

I know how I feel when someone says something nice about me. First shock, then denial. Then appreciation. It makes a difference to me, so I hope it makes a difference to others.

I am truly blessed with an incredible husband. (OK guys, here is the deal. Ron is not perfect. If I concentrate on his "Faults", very soon that is all I see. So I really concentrate and talk about all the good things about him. Then those things grow and we are all happy. So no, he is not a perfect person. Take a look at your own spouse like this and you might be very pleased.)
