this topic is taken from a beautiful ladies journal(thank you for getting me thinking)
as a woman now i feel very unattractive weight gain-but i am coming to a self acceptance that i never had before no matter how good i looked.
as a mother at times i feel inadiquit not having the energy to keep up with the little ones-but i do see that they are learning to be self sufficent.
as a wife i know my husband would love to get more help from me with everything-but i used to complain that i got no help from him and he really needed to take more responsibility for himself and his family now he does.
as a friend i was feeling like i wasn't a very good one anymore-now i know that most of my friends were using me to solve all of their problems.i gave and they took-now i've redefined my deffinition of a friend to a give and recieve relationship.
my personality i used to be a bitch responding to any jerk i came in contact with(pity the salesman who knocked on my door)-now i'm nicer to people.
for myself i never tried to make friends thinking that people were not good-now i'm here on this sight making friends with good caring people.
as for life there was a time in my past i legitimately tried suicide-after thinking i was dying before getting diagnosed-i now value every breath i take.

Sometimes...I just have to say, "Thanks MS". Thanks for making me humble. Thanks for making me appreciate the love of my family. Thanks for allowing me to be happy with the gift of my humor and compassion. Thank you for showing me that sexy legs aren't as important as ones that work. And finally, thanks for not taking away my ability to see what really important to, even if it's different than what it used to be. Thanks for the post. (__V__)

I can totally relate to the friend issues. I still don't know why they were brought into my life? Maybe for that season.I dont feel bad about myself because I have always decided if someone was beautiful after I got to know them. Thats why I love the humor people use on here, even without a face I have a true meaning in my heart of what they look like.

I understand what you mean. I used to be so preoccupied with my weight, but, now, I think that as long as I have the ability to walk, see, and think without any major problems, everything is alright. I have to admit that because I am so young, I used to have big dreams for all sorts of things, like my profession and number of children, but, because of MS, things have gotten different. I mean, as large as my dreams used to be before, they are even bigger now because I want to prove to myself that God gave me this disease not to punish me, but because he knew I was strong enough to handle it and not let it get me down too much. Thanks for the opportunity to have a positive outlook on this disease!-Lisa

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
