I’ve thought about this post for the past few days and how it relates to my weight loss goals. Some of the women that are closest to me in my life are threatened every time I start to lose weight — especially my mother. It’s beyond aggravating — I start to get to a healthy weight and she acts like I’m extreme beyond belief (I’m not) or that I’m crazy. It’s motivated by her own insecurity, I’m starting to realize, and that I’m going to have to pursue my goals and just say to HELL with what she thinks.

Thanks for the great post.

I am sooo behind on my Miz reading!

This post was like reading my horoscope 3 days late. It applied today.

The B-fly must learn to just say ” Thank you”. Not complicated, but I am so guilty of the ” thank you but (insert putmyselfdown here).

Thank you, Miz =)

i need to print out that list

Also – A-BLOODY-MEN on the “one woman’s success does not inhibit or mean that they cant be successfulamazing, too.”

I think this blogging caper is a particularly kickass example of the power of supporting each other rather than feeling threatened. supporting each others blogs and endeavours, sharing the linky lurve, etc… it works so well and i wish people would do more of it off the computer

This is one of my worst.traits.ever. And you’re so right about the toddler-compliment-acceptage. When I compliment mine, he smiles cheekishly and says, (the word builds up in volume) “YYYYYYYYAH!!!”

As in, Yup! Of course! And he stands there with his chest out like a big rooster.

Not that I would do that. But if I could find at least a halfway point between rooster and “youcaughtmeforoncenotbeingafailure” then I’d be great! I really do have to work on this.

So GREAT advice! I find it hard to take a compliment and have to remember to be gracious and that pats on the back are nice, not a reason to point out why you aren’t great.

It’s pretty unfortunate that people need a primer on how to handle a compliment, but I know that it’s true. I’ve found that a simple “Thank you!” works as a good response, rather than trying to be self-deprecating.

After reading The Secret it helped me to understand that we can all have it all..and like you said someone else having it doesn’t mean you can’t.

I also decided that taking a compliment is a reflection of myself… I don’t really appreciate it when someone ignores a sincere compliment that i try to give and accepting one definitely makes you feel better than brushing it off!!

Though some are harder…like the recent OH MY GOD your wedding was so horrific, I would have lost my mind, but not you. You must be a saint, I just admire you for being so calm….
It’s a compliment, but one I’d rather not have a reason to receive.

back and reading all the additional thoughts (as I was glued to the TV last night watching election returns. THANK YOU AMERICA FOR MAKING THIS AN ELECTION WHICH IS OVER IN ONE DAY AND NOT DEBATEDLINGERING. There’s a compliment for the whole USA whether or not your ‘team’ won.)…
