Today, there are notes from two very special ladies. Enjoy!
Jessica wrote, “Having dealt with bulimia for 10 years (but now in recovery), I know how difficult it is for some people when it comes to food and the holidays. I know how some people manage to dwell on calorie counting and what they’ve eaten to the point where they forget to be thankful for their body and all of the wonderful things it can do.I thought it was important to remind those people who may be struggling and panicking about all of the Thanksgiving food tomorrow that they are beautiful…so I made up The ABC’s of Beauty and posted in a bookstore’s restroom!”
Michelle just travelled 13,000 miles to be with her family for Thanksgiving! She wrote, “There is HEAPS that I am grateful for. HEAPS. However, when I travelled from Perth,Australia to Oregon this past weekend I wanted to give back…I wanted to show my thanks for my personal growth over this past year. Operation Beautiful came to the rescue. All of these post-its are what I believe…In my heart. So I hope that you find a place in your heart today to give thanks to yourself or to someone else that comes from your heart.” To see the rest of her notes, check out her blog.
Whether or not you are American and celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you find a reason to be grateful today! If you love Operation Beautiful and want to participate, post a note, take a picture, and e-mail it to Caitlin at seebriderun@gmail.com!

LOVE the ABCs. So clever and what a great way to give back!
THIS IS FANTASTIC!

…just one thing, in the ABC’s of Beauty, where is ‘Z’?
if you couldnt think of one, how about ‘Zealous’, or even ‘Zesty’……i’ll look up a dictionary and get back to you !!
This is definitely a tough season for everyone, especially if food is a fragile issue for you. Love the idea of stepping up the notes around this time of year…
BODA weight loss
