I totally agree with this outlook - confidence is a state of mind and even if you're not always 100% confident, you need to project it and think positively about yourself and your relationships.<br /><br />I don't think your eats are boring at all! It will be interesting to see whether a break from kabocha helps yours IBS. <br /><br />The most exotic place I've ever been to is Japan - it's like another world! I loved it. Fiji was beautiful too :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-32831081079466143232009-06-30T00:06:39.317-04:002009-06-30T00:06:39.317-04:00That rainbow corn is so cool!That rainbow corn is so cool!ChickPeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01796488061660385286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-39951211033006044982009-06-29T22:45:52.927-04:002009-06-29T22:45:52.927-04:00love the thoughts on confidence, thanks for sharin...love the thoughts on confidence, thanks for sharing your point of view on it. i think confidence is the best quality in a person, and when you can balance confidence and modesty then you really are onto something. <br /><br />sounds like things are going well for you, eats and workouts-wise!Janetha @ meals + moveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05895685603322921708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-91892986650554422002009-06-29T18:31:43.512-04:002009-06-29T18:31:43.512-04:00yeah i dont know anyone that is not insecure about...yeah i dont know anyone that is not insecure about something! i agree with what you're saying!<br /><br />i love corn too! that rainbow corn looks really prettyanniehttp://lesouefsbrouilles.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-12024937307739989702009-06-29T15:27:19.101-04:002009-06-29T15:27:19.101-04:00Hi there, I am a new blog reader, and enjoy this p...Hi there, I am a new blog reader, and enjoy this post very much :). You are so right--there is a time to be modest and/or confident. You don't want to be over confident to those who need encouragement, and you don't want to be modest around those who are trying to show you they are better than you are. It's all about balance ;).<br /><br />I don't know what you're talking about. All your meals look creative and interesting to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-86101898581806349652009-06-29T15:18:22.402-04:002009-06-29T15:18:22.402-04:00I just love the amazing variety of foods you have ...I just love the amazing variety of foods you have in a day!!Cool.<br />The most exotic place I've been to are the backwaters in God's own country-Kerala(India) and Langkawi Island in Malaysia-simply awesome places!!!!!Sweta (My Indian Dietitian)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07317493638998906683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-62000551129348095562009-06-29T12:56:02.903-04:002009-06-29T12:56:02.903-04:00I definitely have issues with self confidence...

Usually, I'm confident when I feel happy or satisfied with my life, but I have MAJOR insecurities in many areas, especially how others percieve me and whether they like me. I constantly strive to please others, but at the same time, I take it SO seriously that it hurts me very deeply if they don't appreciate my efforts or my personality. It's REALLY pathetic if I think about it, but I guess that's just the way i am...<br /><br />I totally feel you - that you want your best friends to feel that you are also their best. I don't like it when people are not loyal to me, because that's the biggest insult. My mom thinks it's because I'm a Scorpio (what's your horoscope? maybe we're the same!!)...but I think it's only fair! <br /><br />You have heard me gush enough about your wonderful eats...so inspiring! What do you want to do in Chicago?? We should start exchanging info. soon huh? :) <br /><br />Finally...the most exotic place I've been to? hmmmm I guess i've been to a lot of places but they're not very exotic. I do love Phuket, Thailand though! The water sports, snorkeling, cheap and tasty seafood, friendly people, and sunshine always makes me happy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-11150887512178370312009-06-29T09:37:31.009-04:002009-06-29T09:37:31.009-04:00I'm not as confident as I'd like to be.......I'm not as confident as I'd like to be....it's a work in progress I guess!!<br /><br />I love that corn you've been eating!

I'm pretty good at appearing self confident even when I'm not. I think it's good to show insecurities sometimes because it creates community and helps you relate to others.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758932883732204080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-31128213556605951222009-06-29T08:36:10.418-04:002009-06-29T08:36:10.418-04:00yum, coco! how do you make the dairy free chocolat...yum, coco! how do you make the dairy free chocolate pudding?Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18237154972327220231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-54266553174908754392009-06-29T08:27:24.294-04:002009-06-29T08:27:24.294-04:00I feel that it is wonderful to be confident, but n...I feel that it is wonderful to be confident, but no matter how confident we are, there's always something that bothers us. I think that it's perfectly normal. I feel that I am a confident person, but at times, my weak moments, I'm a mess!<br /><br />It's good to love yourself. Everyone should be this way. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-51175005237439821062009-06-29T08:18:33.368-04:002009-06-29T08:18:33.368-04:00I think a good balance of self-confidence is to ne...I think a good balance of self-confidence is to neither be afraid of sharing your successes nor your faults. Not in a sense of disparaging yourself, but more of an acceptance that you're a whole person - both good and bad. That sounds kind of weird...perhaps a better way to put it is to not be afraid to talk about yourself.<br />Of course, that's only an external showing of self-confidence. Internally is another matter. But having external self-confidence can often lead to internal self-confidence.Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738759126756755619.post-36722002784156853132009-06-29T07:08:10.891-04:002009-06-29T07:08:10.891-04:00Hi chicky!

I think I also appear very confident and hide MOST of my insecurities very well :) I always think about this when I'm teaching my group fitness classes- do they like me? Are they having fun? Are they getting a good workout? Do I look ridiculous in this outfit? But on the outside I'm all smiles and positive energy! <br /><br />LOVING the rainbow corn.
