this is my journey to self acceptance and self approval and ultimately self appreciation
three things that i have struggled with for a good part of my life
my personal ways to overcome my self issues are as follows:
- balls to the walls self esteem gain, meaning not drinking when going to social events...this means that I have to be self confident and not need to use alcohol to make myself feel good
- working out to feel accomplished, not just to say that i did it, as well as taking up recreational sports again
- getting more involved in things that are fun and mean a lot to me
- no more self bashing
- surrounding myself with people who actually care about me, and who i care about
- not letting things get me so worked up
- keeping up with all my responsibilities and commitments so that I don't feel suffocated by everything
- find at least one good thing that happened to me every day
- appreciate things that might seem normal
- rid myself of things that i don't need; clean out old things so that I don't feel cluttered
- work on not getting worked up about every little thing
my goals for the rest of 2008 are
- lose 20 lbs and maintain that
- gain the self esteem that people insist i should have
- raise my GPA
- stop being jealous of things that I don't have or that I am not
- stop comparing myself to everyone

I need to do some of those things myself. I'll be there for you when you need me!
