No. <br /><br />My favorite Karate Teacher used to give a horribly hard, near to point of death workout and then - just before we went to bow out - say,<br />"Wait, let's pause a moment and be thankful for the healthy bodies we've been given." He was in no way being ironic; this was his personality. I love that guy, AND your blog, AND both of our asses because they're fine for sitting on and walking around with and what else matters?Katehttp://www.MountAiryAlpacas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-60006683023384036292011-05-16T17:47:39.844-05:002011-05-16T17:47:39.844-05:00Thank you for this.

If an accomplished woman does this to herself, we need to take a step back and worry about what drives all of us to act this way.<br /><br />It's wrong.

Some days I just sit and cry and feel like nothing will ever be better, that no one looks at me twice, and that I'll be alone for the rest of my life.<br /><br />Those times though when the brief glint of hope shines through are wonderful.Ashleasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-13611787411221453122011-05-13T23:24:31.368-05:002011-05-13T23:24:31.368-05:00Brilliant.

That's why they changed "don't drink and drive" (message to brain: drink and drive) to "drink responsibly." Look for the positive motivation, not more self hate.Nelliehttp://Nelliesabin.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-14706808948051060122011-05-13T23:00:47.237-05:002011-05-13T23:00:47.237-05:00So grateful for Adios Barbie for sharing your post...So grateful for Adios Barbie for sharing your post so that I could discover a new voice (and one from Missouri at that!).

It sort of worked in the short term - I picked up a lot of extra shifts and worked a lot - but I nearly broke myself and my temper got worse and worse.<br /><br />The trouble with being positive is it can sound and feel so wishy-washy...I find I need to tell myself things that sound strong *and* realistic.<br /><br />But yeah...negativity WILL damage you.David Jackmansonhttp://www.djackmanson.comnoreply@blogger.com
