I love you too!
What a coniscidence...AWWWWW DR!!!! I love you too!<br /><br />What a coniscidence because you totally inspire me too! We can do this together, just one woman (and man too... sometimes) at a time is all it takes, and I am absolutely motivated to be a part of the revolution (and by that I mean, re evolution not revolt). <br /><br />The key is to nip negative thoughts in the bud. And to realize you are the way you are, exactly as you are intended to be by the universe and the powers that be have worked it out -- or something. <br /><br />Mostly, keep good thoughts/words in your vocabulary and rid yourself of the others. Focus on GAINS not on losses... And when all else fails, trust that the people around you have more insight into the truth of you than you do. For some reason we have an emotionally based filter on ourselves like we are looking onto a mirror that is distorted... the only people who can be trusted are those who love you for who you are. <br /><br />Idk where all if this is coming from, I just feel really inspired, enlightened and just supremely happy. <br /><br />love you a whole lot!<br /><br />MandaAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468811467210164332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350798156180257171.post-51594434837988081552012-05-19T13:42:38.568-07:002012-05-19T13:42:38.568-07:00THAT IS GREAT!

That is exactly right! :) I think that so many times we feel like we are being humble or better as a person by not accepting compliments or feeling pride in ourselves. I think it is just a part of trying to be a good person, based on what we are taught and see. <br /><br />Not to mention how hard it is to feel pride in yourself when everyone is unique and society tries to tell us is beautiful. Even though I have heard from countless people how beautiful I am inside and out... I have a hard time accepting it because the world around me makes me think I need to be something I am not, and should not be. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment Brian.

I'm holding steady at 160 now, and my body has more jiggle, but it seems to be happy here, skinny fat and all.<br /><br />Tomorrow I'm getting rid of all the too-small jeans. All the size 6, 8, and even 10's that don't fit. They don't make me feel pretty. They make me hate myself. They make me obsess and want to force myself to be smaller, and for what? What gratification do I have in wearing smaller jeans, besides to say I wear smaller jeans?<br /><br />You inspire me. <3 Let's do this. Let's change the world!Diana Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914031165662225314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350798156180257171.post-84791942080571871432012-05-18T20:24:20.432-07:002012-05-18T20:24:20.432-07:00You are right.

Egotism isn't being proud of who you are and holding a strong self image, but rather it's believing that your strong self image entitles you to put someone else down, or to flaunt how important or worthy you are. Humility requires a strong self image. It is an easy thing to appear humble when you aren't proud of yourself. True humility is saying to yourself "I'm better than all of these people think I am, and I'm worth so much more than they will ever know" and then going in among those people and telling them how much their worth. I do this every day and people notice, but it took me a long time to get there. I'm proud of you for also reaching that point where you understand that you define your own worth, and humility is avoiding flaunting it *TOO* much.Brian Engelhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719457880825359520noreply@blogger.com
