I feel good about myself when someone compliments how I look, or when I’ve actually lost a few pounds instead of gained. It seems like this is a book I might need to read to get the inspiration to care more about myself and live life, not worry about how I look.
Working out makes me feel good about myself.
A good nights sleep and being refreshed makes me feel wonderful
My bones have made progress as a result of my osteoporosis medication and dietary changes the past two years!
I am a Nurse and that is something noone can take from me. It makes me feel worth something. Even tho the body has shut down on me as I am not able to work or get out, I still know that I have, had, and will maintain my knowledge as an RN.
My friends make me feel good about myself.
I feel good when I get my water in for the day. I’m trying to drink more and get sidetracked with other stuff, so when I reach my goal I’m thrilled!
Although I still need to lose at least 50 more pounds, I try to remember how far I’ve come. Since I was diagnosed with breast cancer 5 years ago (and I’m fine now), i’ve lost over 90 pounds. (Much of it during chemo.) I am more active now, and my daughter has pointed out that I’m not as grouchy. I now exercise a lot, and feel good about my improvements.
I feel good about myself because I feel like I have been a good daughter as well as a good mother. My mother raised me to believe that you should do unto others as you would have them do to you and I hope that I have raised my daughter to do the same. Thank you for the opportunity to win! I hope you have a happy and healthy New Year!
I feel good about being strong and physically able to do anything I want to do.
When my husband tells me I look pretty even though we both have put on weight since we got married 14 years ago and two children later!
A clean house and a soak in the tub!
Watching my children grow and learn makes me feel good about myself. No matter how rough my day has been they never fail to make me smile.
I feel good when my hair looks good.
I’d have to say my wife because even if I have 5 (or 50) exra lbs, she still thinks I’m beautiful anyway!
What makes me feel good about myself is seeing how my children are turning out and knowing that I did a good job as their mom.
I am a seamstress and I feel good about myself when people tell me that they like my work. I would like to read this book because compliments are not enough to keep you happy. I would like to learn how to be happy with who I am.
I feel good about myself when I get back up and continue to trudge along after a stumble and not remembering the fall. Thanks for the giveaway
