What is your BDG today?


Quote  |  Reply

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 have been at a calorie deficit for 4+ days in a row now, an accomplishment for a compulsive over eater

Desire - to see quicker results

Gratitude - I'm thankful for my job which gives me the money to be able to pay for my personal trainer and nutritionist!
