Right now, I am most grateful for the gift of life. Despite all my depressing and morbid thoughts, being alive still feels great!

I am thankful for family, for friends, for feeling inspired to get fit and for being lucky enough to live in the USA. I am also thankful for your blog so full of friendly ideas and thoughtful tips.

I am thankful for the many times in my life where I have had the opportunity to push myself outside of my comfort zone in order to grow into a bigger, better, stronger, more confidant, person with a greater level of clarity on what it is that I want in my life.

Thanks for asking Roni. :-)

I’m thankful for the support and community I’ve found while blogging about diet. You included. I’m also thankful for comments and I’ve resolved to comment instead of just lurk at some of my favorite internet haunts. And Roni yours is top on my favorite list.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I am Thankful for the growth I’ve done in my personal development over the past 12 months. You see last year at this time, my son (ArmyGuy) had just hit the soles of the Iraq, Iran Boarder.

In order for me to survive this, I had to learn to grow personally. I chose to only think positive thoughts of him. Every single time I thought of him, I pictured him Happy, healthy, safe, learning from the experience and bonding with the guys he was over there with.

He arrived home two weeks ago. My sister (his second Mom) where able to actually meet him upon his arrival in Kansas. Everything I pictured happen. He did not witness one death, he now has 9 Big Brothers (he was the youngest), he is so positive about life.

The power of the mind.

Man I love Thanksgiving! I think its great to reflect on all the things we HAVE and to take time to appreciate them.

I’m thankful for my family, my (WONDERFUL) husband, my job, my health, and my #1 man God :) We are also thankful for you Roni and the other bloggers who help us when we need it and let us know that we aren’t alone in the world

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I am grateful that I am healthy enough to be able to exercise – some people are so unwell they can’t even walk. I have the means to buy healthy food and the ability to cook it. I am thankful that I am in a good groove where I am living healthfully and losing weight steadily. I am grateful for excellent online resources like yours, without which I would definitely not be losing weight. I’m grateful that I *like* broccoli :)

I haven’t been keeping up with my reading, and I just caught up with your blog – read about 15 entries to catch up to today – and totally random, but I wanted to say:
~ I think you are very pretty. And that haircut you got in CA is very flattering.
~ Your house is lovely. I’m genuinely happy for you – it makes me feel cozy just thinking that there is such a cozy place out there and that people I like are enjoying it :)
~ As someone who’s only ever lived in a city, take it from me – those shots of houses surrounded by lawns and wide streets – total bliss. Please appreciate it. I’m glad your son is growing up in a beautiful, healthy place.
~ You seem like such a great person and caring mom, it makes me wish you had more kids.

Aside from my family and boyfriend and good fortune and home, I’m thankful that I’m learning to listen to my body and to trust it. I’m in the middle of a three-day TG baking blitz and had to come here and post this. I’m making all of the desserts for the gatherings I’m going to, and I chose all of the recipes, so they’re all things that really appeal to me. For the last couple of weeks I’ve been both excited about all of the baking I get to do and worried, because it wouldn’t be the first time I gave up and binged on all of the sugary goodness around me (and I should say here that in this case I’m talking about the pre-TG madness, the joyless, mindless alone eating. I’m planning on eating whatever I want on the actual day, and counting it).

Well, I can say that I’m doing great! I’ve had small tastes to make sure everything is right, but those haven’t ballooned. This is where the trust part comes in. Just now, I found myself scraping the pumpkin pie filling bowl with a spoon, trying to get all of it. I started to have that feeling of “oh no, here I go” and panicked a bit. It tasted so good and I wanted to continue with other treats. Then I had the presence of mind to look at the clock. It said 12:30, half an hour past when I usually eat lunch. I stopped what I was doing, heated up some lentil soup, and am about to go eat it. It’s so amazing to me to think that when my mind starts throwing those crazy feelings at me, maybe it’s just telling me to eat a bit, and that’ll satisfy my body. It sounds so simple, but this is the first time I’ve ever felt this way.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I am thankful for my husband who gave me a future with a home and family and security. I was lost until he came into my life. He grounded me and helped me find my own person.

Hiya Roni, great post today! Really nicely said!!

I am thankful for my kids and my hubby most of all, and yes for my ex-hubby too. I’m thankful for all of my family. I’m thankful for friends. I’m thankful for my new found health and the inspiration to get here from strangers like you Roni.

I’m thankful for having legs, because I know someone who just got his amputated. I’m thankful for my Mom always making me brush my teeth and paying out for braces for 4 years, because I know a young someone who just got dentures. I’m thankful for the person who invented pantene because the one thing I’ve always loved about myself is my hair.

Last but not least, I’m so thankful, that God forgives me and loves little oul me!
