I'm Good Enough...I'm Smart Enough...

I haven't been feeling the greatest lately, emotionally. So, my sixth vice I've been working on is negative comments about myself. There really isn't much to discuss here without speaking in a negative manner, but I'm trying to accentuate my positive (like my Sloth from The Goonies impression) and eliminate my negative (which may or may not include my hatred for any picture taken of me that I wasn't ready for). There are of course more things I beat myself up about besides my physical attributes. There are many ways I've disappointed myself over the years, months, weeks, days, minutes. But I really am working on this issue. I'll have setbacks, and those are pretty rough, but I'll pick myself back up again because I know deep down I'd choose myself as a friend and I can't say that much for the Tam 6 years ago.

Sounds like you and I have similar vices. I guess we're going to have to help eachother out on this one. I'll be your life coach since you're mine. Makes sense. We'll hold eachother accountable for negative comments we make about ourselves.

Tam-

I think your awesome. And everyone I know who knows you thinks the same thing. I hope you think of that when you're having "one of those days"

After myself and Ray, you're like my third favorite person.

Even my physician gets mad at me for making negative comments about myself. I've been working on that one for years. Don't be surprised if it takes longer than you think.

BTW, I of course think you are fabulous, so I don't know exactly what you could be telling yourself that is in the least way negative.

You're such a dumbass

DISCLAIMER:
For those sensitive people who don't know my sarcastic, crude sense of humor- I don't think Tammy is a dumbass, Jackass maybe.

A nanny since 1996, I'm tired of washing nipples that aren't mine.
