    So I was typing up a thread response to Amanda, about making ourselves feel pretty again, and I thought to myself, look as us all here... every picture I see is of a beautiful girl, and the ones who don't have pictures have beautiful minds, personalities, senses of humor, things I have gotten to know about you just from being here and reading what you have to say. It's sad that we have such issues, and such negative self images. So I decided to make a new thread - a positivity thread! This thread is for everyone. Every day we should get on to this thread, and list just one thing we like about ourselves - a physical feature, an ability, a belief, something you are proud of, a hidden talent, whatever. I'm sure the end result will be incredible - a whole huge list of why all of us are amazing! It certainly can't hurt to read through something like that every once in a while. So I'll start. Hmmm... I actually have adorable toes! Okay, who's next?

    LOVE THIS! So I can honestly say that I have always looked in the mirror and saw a pretty girl. Even when I hate my body, I have always liked my face which for a girl I think is a big accomplishment. And by the looks of everyone here on this forum, you ALL should be saying the same!

    Here are my 3 days, so I'm caught up on tomorrow, yup I'm no procrastinator!

    I like that I am comfortable in my skin & owning who I am & embracing it!

    I like my muscles, 'specially when I get my flex on!

    I like that we took this journey together working to become binge free 4-eva & the chit chat with my binge sistah's that I have met here, certainly helped me progress!

    It's a new day and if I read the instructions correctly, we are supposed to post something we like about ourselves everyday. Where is everyone? I know you guys have plenty to like, let's hear it!

    Ok, here is my positive thinking for today.

    I like that I have nice skin. My hubby reminded me of it this morning when he was rubbing my arm and said "you have really soft skin." Isn't he a sweety?

    Ok time to join in all the fun and I will say 3 things as well to catch up lol.
    1. I like that I am smart ( way to start I sound so cocky haha)
    2. I like the shape of my upper lip because its super defined like a heart ( and I am talking about my mouth here just in case someone has a pervy thought haha).
    3. I like my legs because they are muscular without being bulky, and they are not too skinny neither.

    Yes I allready feel 10 % better lol. Great idea !
