Day8. So far so good. I think I'm getting it. Am sick today so I am taking it easy all the way around.

Day 9 Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool:
I am learning so much being on this site. With the good help and support and excellent information I am getting a connect the dots experience. I am doing so much better. I am glad that I can get a handle on this stuff. Focusing on the positive can make the brain be re-trained I think.

Made it to day 7... then had a bit of a "self talk tussle". So... ugh, Day 1 (but it's getting better)

I'm almost through day 9. I actually looked in the mirror today and didn't bash myself. That's a big step!! I can't help I look like my family and I am working on my weight little by little.

I am starting Day 6 today. I am not feeling too positive, so today will be a challenge to stay on track. I hope I can work through it and not take myself down. Like gizmo said, I need to be my friend, and not beat myself up. I get so frustrated trying to make decisions that I tend to turn my frustration on myself. I hope that I can do better than that today.

I feel awful. I wonder if this will help. I will try. Starting now- 3:30 PM- Day 1. Let's see how far little Jenny gets shall we? :unsure:

NOTE: Little Jenny didn't last more than thirty minutes. I will start again. Saturday at 4 PM right now.

Mission accomplished :tup:.

Way to go KP, that's awesome! And I'm so glad you took the challenge as well - you have made us all proud!

As for me... I haven't been counting the days because it's frustrating, but I'm definitely becoming more aware of my negative self talk.

It is day 2 for me. I got discouraged because of the steroids and my emotional state. But I think staying focused on this challenge while I go through this will help me identify when I am going off track. Even if I do a lot of day 1's, at least my awareness is in the right place.

Melody,

I am right there with you. Maybe accomplishing day 1's is where we are at right now and that is OK. At least we are learning and that is the whole point of the exercise.

Way to go KP! This is a really hard challenge so be proud of yourself. It just shows how far you have come in your healing and how your hard work has paid off!

Day 10, I am doing so good. So many things are clicking together for me now. I am being a friend to me for the first time and treating me like I would treat most people, kindly and sensitive.

I am not trashtalking me. I am being positive with me. I so want to put the negative out of my life, I guess I am ready and sick and tired of being sick and tired. I am tired of the self abuse. It is time for these things to stop being such a corrupting influence in my life.

I love this exercise. thank you so very much.

I am really scared but I am doing well on the challenge.
