The BDG Game

I heard a Pink interview where she talked about a dinner party game she plays called BDG's ... Brag, Desires, and Gratitudes.  Each person shares at least one of each - helps us to remember that there are so many good htings in life even when things seem tough

Who would like to share a BDG?

BRAG - I ate SO balanced and light yesterday all day that I was able to have real oil popped popcorn last night as a snack .... without going over calories or carb counts for the day!  It was AWESOME!

DESIRE - that by the time I need to buy a new wet suit, I will not have to custom order it because of my size

GRATITUDE - Even tough I am technically overweight, I am fit and healthy, I am adventurous nad I am DONE having my weight stop me from doing things I want to do!  Like scuba dive!

Brag - 3 coworkers have told me I am skinny today

Desire - for hte above to be true!  OK I don't really want to be "skinny" just a normal size
