As a Life Coach I have many tools in for my clients and Denise's discussion brought this tool to mind. It's called Living in the Moment and it is used to shift energy from negative to positive.
1) Write a personal goal
2) Write the feeling you wish to get from this goal
(one word feeling please)
3) Now write how long you think it would take to reach this goal.
Now I have a question---
Why can't you feel the feeling you are looking for now?
Maybe this can help others move to a more positive frame of mind when things are dark.
Now as for my good qualities just to name a few.
Yes I am fat but it's ok being Fabulous, Awesome and Terrific! I am a good person with a heart of gold, kind, considerate, compassionate, I care deeply about humanity, I love life and all it has to offer, I look for good in everyone, I look for what's right instead of what wrong, I might have physical limition but hey I am ALIVE and living my life's purpose.

I am alive and loving life, hey I almost died trying to loose weight,, so I am just happy to be here, live life everyday to the fullest and love yourself and your family, it can all be gone in seconds. I don't mean to spend all your money like a wild thing or do crazy stuff, just use every minute wisely cause we are all on the clock if you know what I mean.

Good post Denise! :)

It is way too easy to get caught up in our miserable feelings.

I am funny, I love my family and friends to pieces and I do anything for them! I am kind, approachable, friendly. My fiancee says I have fantastic eyes, and I'm inclined to agree with him! I also love my hair, it's so thick and wavy and makes me feel absolutely divine :) And that's just the beginning :D

It is so important to remember the qualities about ourselves that make us happy so that we can work toward changing the qualities that don't!!

My favorite qualities in myself are:
My faith in God.
My creative side.

I am an awesome teacher! I care deeply for my students and I only want them to suceed at what they do. Some of my students have no one to give them that extra push to succeed...that's my job. When they reach their goals and learn to love themselves and accept that they can do something to better themselves....this is cool!

Oh, I guess I'm a pretty good Mom too :-)

I love the fact that I have hips. Even though I want to lose weight, i do NOT want to be thin.. I want to stay curvy. I like my eyes and I love my personality. I"m proud of the fact that i'm passionate, kind, opinionated, intelligent, liberal, loving, and compassionate.

im a nice person and a caring one

I can balance martini glasses on my boobs!

It's just so hard to look at the good when you look so bad. I have so much weight to lose that I just don't dress nice, nothing looks good on me anyway. I don't wear makeup anymore. It's just hard to see the good. But, I am a nice , loyal, compassionate person. My hair is nice.

Round 2...
That I am a loyal friend and a fierce pet owner.

My cats are my babies. I had to spoon feed my oldest one last night, just so she would eat. I'm so worried about her. Miss Nittany will survive if I have anything to say about it :-)

I also stayed on the phone late last night because a friend was having a bad time of it. Misery loves company :-)
