50 things I like about ME! (read all 13 entries…)
Untitled 2 years ago

47. I pay attention to detail
48. I put effort into small things for other people
49. I work hard at friendships & relationships

Just one more to go now….whilst looking back over this goal I realise how I began by focussing on what I like and dislike about my appearance….now I realise that what I like about ME is internal and not external. How fat or thin I am has never made a difference to the fact I am always there for my friends for example.

My personal qualities are rarely effected by my appearance and I’m thankful that this goal has made me wake up to this fact.

That's interesting...

(I was going to start off by saying congratulations, but I will save that for number 50)... ;-)

I remember when I invited you to do this goal with me, and I have often been pushed along by your positive entries.(Thank you) I noticed how often you would write something about your appearance and I found that really endearing considering your battles with ed. I admire that. I have pretty much only written about my internal likes because there is nothing at all I like about myself physically. I’ve managed a couple of vague physical appearance comments when I’ve have a good day, but other than that, nothing.

Perhaps I am missing the point of this goal?

Anyway, I’m really glad you have benefitted from this!

I don't think...

That you are missing the point of this goal at all – I was!

The strange thing is that a lot of the ed focussed stuff I have done looks at finding a small part of your appearance you like and then gradually increasing it.

Only if you can’t find anything you feel even more of a failure. Because of that I often find myself trying deperately to find something physcal I ‘like’ or at least don’t hate.

Then my doctor pointed out to me that we are all getting older and our appearances will change and become more weathered however we try and halt the process. She reflected that it is our hearts and souls and love and actions are of such greater importance.

So I think we are both on the right track and hopefully by completing this goal we will be gradually be moving towards our goals of improving our self esteem!
