I like the fact that there is less of me than there was a few years ago. I had been over 280 lbs
, and now I'm around 240. I really like the changes I've made that will allow me to not return to that hefty neighborhood.

:clap That's fantastic! I'm sure you feel much better and have more energy than before.
I like my own hair, too. It's long, wavy, and thick. It might take a couple of hours to do in order to make look stunningly beautiful, but when I do it, it's worth it. My hair is commented on the most when others want to compliment my looks.
Peace,

:highfive: Way to go Glenn!
Mine is similar. I've been going to the gym and working out, trying to get healthier, eat healthier. It's a complete life change, and one for the better. The past couple months I got distracted by some things and went back to some old bad habits, but I'm back on track now and feel great! :woohoo:
There's this kid, some 1/3 of my age. We took 2nd university semester Chinese at the same time. Her native language is Cantonese and/or Vietnamese, and we studied "Mandarin". She was close to finishing her MChemEng in pharmaceutical chemistry. My degree is a MChemEng in organic chemistry - there was no pharmaceutical chemistry dept. in those days, but I worked in that industry for some years. To finance her studies, she worked two jobs in a senior citizens' home, and helped out in a restaurant owned by an uncle of hers (she's an ethnical rather Chinese, with most of her family in Vietnam and Canada, and a few in Sweden). It was impossible not to take a liking to her, especially as she was a very open and friendly kind of person.
Once during a recess, she said that she was going to buy a laptop of a certain well-known brand. I reacted immediately. "Give me the weekend, and I'll suggest a better deal on Monday." Su' 'nuff, then I told her that a shop on walking distance from the uni could get her a box at least as good as the one she considered, at some USD 800 less. She said that it wouldn't work, b/c her choice offered an installment plan, and she couldn't afford cash payment. So I bought it for her.
To talk her into accepting the deal, I told her that I have no children of my own, and that all my nieces and nephews are doing quite well, even without help from their fairly well off parents, so I appointed her my make-believe daughter. Fortunately, she accepted.
For some months, she very conscientiously paid according to plan, until I got tired of the whole thing (at that time, (late '05) she was studying Chinese in Beijing). So I told her that I wouldn't accept any further payments and that she now was debt free. Any Buddhist will understand how grateful I was to have had that opportunity.
Now that her Beijing school has proved less than useful, she fears that she won't get the governmental allowance needed for finishing her degree when returning. I haven't told her yet in so many words, but she won't face any financial problems.

I'm finally back up to my ideal weight of 127. I'd had a very brief relapse into anorexia after my baby, my father and myself were in a massive car accident in November. Fortunately, I recognized my old patterns in record time and corrected it. Then my daughter and I had to move in with my parents for a month because of the gap between selling my house and the military housing opening up. I dropped a ton of weight because their house was unable to be baby-proofed and I couldn't leave my daughter alone long enough to eat properly. Now, I'm settled in my very baby & toddler proof home and I have no problem getting proper meals. Yay!

The cake is a lie
A few days ago, I was in a car with a bee and freaking out and trying to figure out how to get it away, and it didn't even occur to me that I could kill it until someone else did. The same happened when my sister threw rocks at me (I dodged one, the other hit me in the stomach)... again, it didn't even occur to me to hit her or lash back out at her.
I like that it seems I'm starting (in babysteps) down the path of nonviolence.

One thing I like about myself? Ha! I don't think there is anything.
Ummm... Uh... I don't know. Some people tell me I'm nice. Ha ha... Morons! Yeah, I think I'll just say that. I'm nice. :biglaugh:

Im glad that im not a hairy person, im too lazy to shave or wax,
for some reason i dont have to pluck my eyebrows, they just grow in perfectly arched
plucking looks painful, and its grose when people overpluck,
also i only have 2 little patches of armpit hair, which are easily plucked out,
and the fur on my legs grows in patches too...
my little brother is just starting to grow hair on his face, its funny because it grows into a perfectly little shaped the 1 inch long curved gotee, and a tiny little shaped mustache, he kind of looks like a little pirate, or swash buckler
I think it because were part native indian, and indian men dont even have chest hair, face hair or armpit hair weird....

My skin is great. Not one blemish, pimple, anything! Which is something I always seem to be fighting, but this side effect of pregnancy I can certainly live with. Unfortunately it won't last. But I can like it while I have it. :jiggy: I just glow with flawless skin now. I love it. :jam:
