From your own words...
**BUT I am not a brainiac nor am I the queen of cretins I do know I am not as smart as many to most posters in here..
Now, you wrote this. I, on the other hand, know for a fact that I'm not as quick as many posters here, but this is the ONLY time you will ever hear me say it. I've gotten into the habit instead of stating the opposite. On days when I'm feeling dumb or slow, I continually tell myself I'm the quickest, smartest girl in the world. On days when I'm feeling fat, I reassure myself I'm beautiful. And by stating the opposite, it balances everything out, creating a realistic balance in my head. It's a new habit I've picked up, rather than the old habit of knocking myself down. And it's worked wonders. It takes time to make yourself believe it, but trust me, after a while, you honestly do. I'm one of the hardest people in the world to convince and I've somehow managed to convince myself that there really are some pretty good qualities about myself that I like. Trust me, if I can do it, anyone can. And I used to be my own worst enemy. But, I still just HATE it when I see my own typos! OHHHH!!! I hate it! I suppose I should proof read from time to time, shouldn't I?
