I just had to post on this thread
A few years back I chatted to a guy online who helped me through the most difficult time of my life......he really wasn't into the net thing and one Saturday txt me to say he was 15miles away from me I didn't reply with an invite as I hated the way I looked(biggest regret of my life).
We remeained close friends for more than 2 yrs his image was a bit of a bad lad but I knew the real person(I know you all think I'm mad ha ha)
He didn't as most men know how to show his emotion so at very poignant times during our friendships he would send me songs.
The songs weren't soppy stuff just songs that mirrored our feelings.....the most important one being...The Pledge....by Ivor Gotti feat Ashanti he didn't say anything just played me this song....to this day I cry when I hear it.
There were many other songs including Christina's "Beautiful"
The reason I shared this is because my weight well my self image was the reason I missed out on the person I believed....believe is my soul mate.......don't let your weight stop you from achieving your dreams
Love to all x

I just love this song - really speaking to me at the moment - 'just keep trying' which i will do and will get there in the end!
Kelis Lil Star Lyrics
There is nothing special about me
I am just a little star
If it seems like I’m shining it’s probably
a reflection of something you already are
I forget about my self sometimes when there’s so many others around
When deep inside it feels the darkest
That is where I can always be found 3x
(Chorus)
Just keep trying & trying
It’s just a matter of timing
Though the grinding is tiring
Don’t let it stop you from smiling
Just keep trying & trying
Sooner or later you’ll find it
It’s surprising how inspiring
It is to see you shining
Cause in the dark of night you're all i can see
and you sure look like a star to me
There is nothing special about me
I am just a lil star
If you try to reach out and touch me
you'll see that I'm not really that far
Oh I may not be the brightest no
Am I the last one you see
Well as long as you notice
That’s just fine with me
Everything just fine with me
(Chorus)
There is nothing special about me
I am just a lil star
I’m a running and jumpin’
But barely getting, getting over the bar
I may not be much more than that
And but that's in good time
But until then i'm guilty
And bein humans my crime
Just being human that is my crime x2
(Chorus)
bondy, what ever happened to your internet buddy? are you still in touch?

Christina Aguilera
When they push when they pull, tell me can you hold on
When they say you should change can you lift your head high and stay strong
Will you give up, give in, when youre hearts crying out
that its wrong
Will you love you for you at the end of it all
In life, theres gonna be times when youre feeling low
And in your mind insecurity seems to take control
We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval
We keep forgettin that the one thing we should know is
Dont be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door its in your hands, the world is yours
Dont hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar
The boy who wonders is he good enough for them
Keeps tryin to please em all but he just never seems to fit in
Then theres the girl who thinks shell never ever be good enough for him
Keeps tryin to change and thats a game shell never win
Now in life theres gonna be times when youre feeling low
And in your mind insecurities seem to take control
We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval
We keep forgetting that the one thing we should know is
Dont be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door its in your hands, the world is yours
Dont hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar
In the mirror is where she comes face to face with her fears
Her own reflection, now foreign to her after all these years
All of her life she has tried to be something besides herself
Now time has passed and shes ended up someone else with regret
What is it in us that makes us feel the need to keep pretending
Gotta let ourselves be
Dont be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door its in your hands, the world is yours
Dont hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar
Dont be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door its in your hands, the world is yours
Dont hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

Young girl dont cry
Ill be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl its alright
Your tears will dry, youll soon be free to fly
When youre safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothings harder than it seams
No one ever wants to bother to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means
When theres no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within
Then youll find the strength that will guide your way
Youll learn to begin to trust the voice within
Young girl dont hide
Youll never change if you just run away
Young girl just hold tight
Soon youre gonna see your brighter day
Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
Its go hard to stand your ground when youre so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you look outside look inside to your soul
When theres no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within
Then youll find the strength that will guide your way
Youll learn to begin to trust the voice within
Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as youre learning
Youll find all you need to know
(Be strong)
Youll break it
(Hold on)
Youll make it
Just dont forsake it because
No one can tell you what you cant do
No one can stop you, you know that Im talking to you
When theres no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within
Then youll find the strength that will guide your way
Youll learn to begin to trust the voice within

Oh and this one from the film Honey.
I Believe - Yolanda Adams
They said you wouldn't make it so far uh uh
And ever since they said it, it's been hard
But nevermind the nights you had to cry
Cause you have never let it go inside
You worked real hard
And you know exactly what you want and need
So believe and you can never give up
You can reach your goals
Just talk to your soul and say…
(Chorus
I believe I can (I can)
I believe I will (I will)
I believe I'll go on dreams that are real (know that my dreams are real)
I believe I'll stand (Oh yea)
I believe I'll dance
I believe I'll grow real soon and (That's why)
That is what I do believe
Your goals are just a thing in your soul uh uh
And you know that your moves will let them show
You keep creating pictures in your mind
So just believe they will come true in time
It will be fine
Leave all of your cares and stress behind
Just let it go
Let the music flow inside
Forget all your pain
And just start to believe
(Chorus
I believe I can (I believe I can oh yea)
I believe I will
I believe I'll go on dreams that are real (All of my dreams are real)
I believe I'll stand
I believe I'll dance (I gotta dance)
I believe I'll grow real soon and (ooo)
That is what I do believe
Whoa oa oa YEA…
(Music break)
Nevermind what people say
Hold your head high and turn away
With all our hopes and dreams
I will believe
Even though it seems it's not for me
I won't give up I'll keep it up
Look into the sky
I will achieve all my needs
I will always believe….OoOo
(Chorus)
I believe I can
I believe I will (I can)
I believe I know my dreams are real (I got strength)
I believe I'll stand (watch me watch me watch me yeah)

It is a fantastic song - definately fills me with the sense of belief that I can achieve my goals!
I love that movie, I'm definately going to have to get it at some stage - I have to admit I well up when I watch that last dance scene.
Definately a song I listen to when I need to lift my mood! Nice to know that someone else likes it as much as I do!

Have been listening to the (old) Natasha Bedingfield album and some of the songs really spoke to me:
If You're Gonna Jump - About living life to the full!
i got a short attention span
can't sit around couch potato land
i wanna do all kinds of stuff
talking about it's not enough
i wanna go to the extreme
i wanna stretch my limousine
i wanna take it way off road
go where i'm not supposed to go
life is music, play it louder
if you're gonna jump, then jump far, fly like a sky diver
if you're gonna be a singer, then u better be a rockstar
if you're gonna be a driver, then u better drive a race car
cause i'm looking for a guard dog, not buying a chihuahua
i like my food with chili in
i like to laugh til it turns in
i wanna stare fear in the face
i wanna take it all the way
life is music play it louder
if you're gonna jump, then jump far, fly like a sky diver
if you're gonna be a singer, then u better be a rockstar
if you're gonna be a driver, then u better drive a race car
cause i'm looking for a guard dog, not buying a chihuahua
if you're gonna jump, then jump far,
if you're gonna
if you're gonna hit the high notes, you gotta be a diva
if you're gonna play a guitar, you gotta play til you blister
cause i'm looking for a guard dog not buying a chihuahua
no happy apples for my tea
it's hot or cold no in between
if your gonna jump
if your gonna jump
if your gonna jump
if you're gonna jump, then jump far, fly like a sky diver
if you're gonna be a singer, then u better be a rockstar
if you're gonna be a driver, then u better drive a race car

I Bruise Easily - Beautiful song!
My skin is like a map
of where my heart has been
And i cant hide the marks
its not a negative thing
So i let my guard down
drop my defences down by my clothes
i'm learning to fall
with no safety net to cushion the blow
I bruise easily
so be gentle when u handle me
Theres a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Cant stratch the surface
without moving me underneath
I bruise easily
I bruise easily
I found you fingerprints
on a glass of wine
Do you know you're leaving them
all over this heart of mine too
But if i never take this leap of faith
I'll never know
So im learning to fall
with no safety net to cushion the blow
I bruise easily
so be gentle when u handle me
Theres a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Cant stratch the surface
without moving me underneath
I bruise easily
I bruise easily
Anyone who can touch you
can hurt you or heal u
Anyone who can reach you
can love you or leave u
So be gentle...
I bruise easily
so be gentle when u handle me
Theres a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Cant stratch the surface

Wild Horses - Again about living life to the full!
Hmmm woah yea...
I feel these 4 walls closing in
My face up against the glass
Im looking out... hmm
Is this my life im wondering
It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
Its greener pastures i'm thinking about hmm
Wide open spaces far away
All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared
wild horses I want to be like u
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like im longing too
Run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!
Ohh yeaaa yea
I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bare back, care free along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumpin head first headlong without a thought
To act and damn the consequence
I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I wanna break freee ee yeah ohh
All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared
Hoohhh woah woah
wild horses I want to be like u
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like im longing too
I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!
Ohh yeaaa yea
I wanna run too.
Hohhh woah oh woah oh
Breaklessly abandoning my self b4 u
I wanna open up my heart tell him how I feel

Lionel Richie
As we go down lifes lonsome highway,
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a freind or two,
That helping hand some one who understands,
and when you feel you've lost your way, youve got some one there to say i'll show you.
Say You Say Me.................
