There's more to life than shoes - Shoe Gal's 2010 diary

Shoe_Gal

Ok - time to pull myself together methinks! I don't like miserable Shoe Gal so time for baby steps towards feeling better (am using the theory that if I tell myself and the world that I'm OK it might start to be true - power of positive thinking??? something like that??? - not too well up on the self helpy stuff )

Today's positives

• I am going out with some friends later, staying overnight and having a really good catch up
• I am treating myself to a shiny, sparkly, pretty and unecessay watch that I really like - and I have vouchers to pay for it
• I have lost 6lbs this week and am starting to be able to fit into some of the clothes I had given up on

Morning lovely,

I am liking this new shiny sparkly positive Shoe Gal - what an inspiration :A.

Shamefully I've only been up long enough to make coffee & put some washing on but I have a whole heap of things to get through & achieve this weekend.

Losing the inches will give you a confidence boost & I'm absolutely with you on the mind over matter attitude to feeling better.

Not really a fan of self-help books as I think they tend to encourage far more introversion & navel gazing than is necessary, rather than just picking yourself up & getting on with things.

Enjoy your evening with friends & will catch up with you again soon.

I'm with Lula on self help books they make me think far too much, and I don't need to put myself on that many guilt trips on my life. Have a good time with your friends, I love buying things with vouchers makes it seem more worth it somehow, and well done on losing 6lb it's not easy to lose weight just too easy to put it on.

That sounds great. Hope you had a good time with your pals and your watch is as sparkly fabulous as it sounds!

Hurrah for vouchers :j
