like myself

...its hard to be objective, but I hope that as my time on Earth progesses, that I can learn to accept and like myself. -Even if nobody else can.

After taking much better care of myself (which is also one of my Things) I feel so much better and DO like myself much better. Giving myself the time of day makes me like myself better. I walk taller and look people in the eye…... I am happy with my progress!!! Going to leave it on for another week… so check back for updates!!! ;)

Making an effort to look really good before I leave the house…. has made a huge difference. Tonight I was really tired and just wanted to take a shower and get into bed, to hell with all the details, but i didnt. I did the whole routine. The skin care, the creaming etc. I feel so much better!!!! I could actually look into the mirror tody and say “I LOOK PRETTY! I LIKE MYSELF!!!!” and it felt fantastic. Complement do help too… giggle

Yep, I have gained a lot of weight! Cant stand the way I look and unfortunately that has made me dislike who I am, because I let myself get this way…. I constantly have to remind myself that life is NOT just about how you look, but about who you are and what contributions we make in life. I am a good person. I have to learn to look at my positive attributes, instead of always JUST look at the negatives!

I have had people tell me how gorgeous I am, but I cant see it or dont see it when I look into a mirror. I believe they see my soul! I wish I COULD look in a mirror and like who I see. Somedays I can say, “Ah you not that bad” and other days I say “Are you kidding? You are hideous!”

Any advice would be nice! To change my distorted image of myself.

I definately love myself, but i don’t like certain things about myself. Is it possible to love yourself but not like yourself? If that makes since at all, that is where I’m at. Example, I know I am a very caring, trusting, nurturing and beautiful person. I actually believe that, so in that case, i love myself. Now, i procrastinate, cant keep control of my finances, addicted to nicotine and accepting a stupid relationship, so for that i don’t like myself. Now this is what I’m doing, I am concentrating on what i love about myself and that is giving me motivation to make the changes I need in order to like myself, thus, I’m getting there? Does that make since? well it does to me…somewhat :)

hm. i created this goal a while ago. i think i am almost there. i definitely feel that i like myself more than i did before. But there are still those days…but i guess “those days” will always be there for everyone, right?
well, at least i am improving. i will get this eventually.

I likw myself as, a perosn, before I thought that I needed to be a certain, way , but I now know that this is me. And I ca’t change who I am for anyone, so here me Joey Harris and if you don’t like me than boo hooo fool

completely and accept me as I am.

I have never liked myself all that much. I don’t know why. My parents were very loving and nurturing, but i was teased/bullied in school from Kindergarten on through high school. Boys didn’t like me—I was the kid who was on the outside looking in. That still resonates with me today and I’m almost 40!!!! I’m my biggest critic. My mom says as you get older you like yourself more and more. I hope that is true. I’d like to finally get to that point where I don’t care what others think and truly believe that I am a smart, pretty person who is worthy of love and friendship. Man, we humans are complicated creatures!

Figure out how to do this
