From now on if someone says something that is offensive to me or something I don’t agree with I will speak my mind rather than sit and say nothing. I’m tired of being the nice quiet one who never appears to have her own opinion. It makes it easy for people to walk all over me.

I want to be nicer to myself by eating healthier, going for walks, treating myself to something nice when I’ve accomplished something, and not always putting everyone else ahead of me!! How can I take care of others if I don’t take care of myself first! =)

I want to be more confident in myself. I beat myself up over everything. I feel like I am never pretty enough or intelligent enough. I am constantly comparing myself to other people and what they are doing. I do not want to live this way anymore. I am very sensitive also. If we go to a family function and I pick out a nice outfit, and try to look fab, I get let down when compliments are given out to eveyone but me! I want to realize more and more every day that I don’t need someone else’s approval for the way I look. And when someone else has good news I don’t need to feel a twinge of jealousy, that will just hold me back! I feel like everyone in my fiances family is trying to “keep up with the jonses”, and because I have an issue with my self-confidence I am being sucked right in. I have a wonderful fiance, have a great job, am currently getting my Masters, am planning a wedding, have great friends, am starting to love me for me, have a sweet personality, and am one unique individual. I’m ready to stand up tall, not let people pressure me to accept their thoughts and ideas, and I will stick up for myself because I am definitly worth sticking up for!
