Personal strengths

Our rabbi talked this week about using your areas of strength to help in your areas of weakness. I thought: I'm good at analysis and problem-solving, and also at taking care of myself in hard times. I'd like to be more conscious of these strengths to help myself eat better and less. But it's hard to know how to do that.

If you don't mind saying, what are your strengths? Have they helped you lose weight?

One of my strengths is also one of my weeknesses!

I can be decent at sticking to a habit, but sadly sometimes that habit is buying a bag of peanut M&Ms when I am at the store.

My strength is taking one day at a time and when I binge to just try to learn from it and move forward. A bad day doesn't have to be a bad week. I think it is easier the older a person gets. I tell myself it is now or never.

To help me to lose or maintain my current weight are ignoring scale most of the time and using tape measurement often and putting on almost too tight pants often...I also use nutrition/fitness tracker including how much mg of sodium daily...those are my strengths...

My strengths are patience, creativity, compassion, and empathy. Maybe you need an accountability partner to hold you to your word about new habits?

My weakness is Patience...Sweets.

Working on these for many years. Binge eating is a issue for me and a life long battle to overcome it...even now when am older...My BED hinders my mindset, and efforts. I self help my own..along with support from net friends and family, which family does not understands much about binge eating problem.

Lifestyle changes working on each morning.
