Just took the challenge yesterday and you already helped!

[Terry S]

As, I posted yesterday, I had been lurking for awhile and decided to take the challenge yesterday.

Well, my kids came in from playing in the backyard last night around 8:30 and starting raiding the cupboards for snacks. One had chips and chipdip and the other had a chocolate rice crispie treat. I almost had a chocolate rice crispie treat, but then I thought of you guys and I had a glass of water! So, I just wanted to say thanks!

Terry,

I'm so happy you've joined us! It's so much better than lurking!

So you heard that little WISH conscience voice speaking in your ear last night! Yup, that's what we're here for. Don't worry, we all hear voices, too. Pretty soon, you'll be able to recognize each voice in your ear - is it Tara or TigH talking to you about exercise, or Kath cause you didn't bounce enough . . . . (just don't mention it to any mental health worker!)

Anytime, anything any of us can do for you, just let us know!

Way to go, Terry!!!!

Just mentally record that phrase and replay it every time you do something good! Don't worry, we don't charge royalties on the use of WISH voices! We provide the service free of charge! So feel free to replay that often! :D

[Terry S]

Thank Karyn and mowsie dreamer, I am glad I am not the only one who hears the voices. And I will keep that recording in my head! I am feeling so much more encouraged since I found WISH and hope to help others in the future!

And thanks to you, too Terry. Now when it's my turn to choose something good - I'll remember how you chose the water. If Terry can do it, then I can too!

[Terry S]

You are certainly welcome Harambe! Anything I can do to help, I am there for you!

The more I read the WISH board, the more I feel like I have been givin a great big HUG! I really like the fact that there is no arguing on this board, just lots of love and support.

Here is a great big {{{{{HUG}}}}} to everyone on this board. If I can do it! You can too!

[TigH]

That is great news, Terry!

With or without the voices, YOU were the one who made the decision to stick with water in the end! So a great big pat on the back to you!!!

It gets easier every day and pretty soon you won't even think about it, you'll have that water in the glass and snacks will seem like a thing of the past!

Onward and downward!!!

[MelanieC]

Welcome and Congrats! The WISH board is like that little voice in the back of your head!

Good Job! We are proud of you!
