On Oprah:
This guest talked about how she used to be her biggest critic. She had this inner voice that told her she wasn't pretty enough or thin enough and she was really mean to herself.
She then realized that if she had a friend that was that mean to her, she'd no longer be friends with them. So why should she put up with that noise from herself?
Somehow I can relate. I'm sure most of you can. It's similar to the way that we worry so much about our families and would be distraught if they were sick or run down, yet we allow ourselves to get run down.
I've still been feeling kind of ick about every other day. And it's making me have the blahs. I can't believe it's already September. We have so little time before the walkathons. And I was supposed to raise $10,000 this year. I think I might just fall short. Eeks! Although Zoe has now raised about $1,800. She's 56% of the way there. Woo!
Ok. I'm now on Season 6 of 24. I am now officially a junkie.
I can do this. Jack Bauer is saving the world. Is it just me, or do they have the hottest villains ever?
Posted by debutaunt at September 5, 2007 04:52 PMWhat a wonderful way to look at it. I will remind myself of your post and the guest on Oprah with the bad self-talk. Makes total sense. Thank you for sharing.

I have never seen this show you speak of 24.
Must be living in the "dark ages"
I didn't see the Oprah show but reading your post here has given me a real nugget of gold that I shared with one of my twins today after she said some similar trash talk about herself. Thank you for helping save one girl at a time - even that one you see in the mirror. {{{{{Deb}}}}}
