Hi ,

One of the best aspects of IOWL as far as I'm concerned is the underlying

assumption that sometimes you WILL mess up--and that IT'S OK. As long as you

self-correct in a gentle, positive way (as opposed to the binge-purge extremes),

you are naturally slender. Or naturally fit? trim? or whatever adjective the

guys in our group prefer. :-)

Anyway, maybe you can take some time today to sit with that fear, and remind

yourself that if you don't mess up, you won't learn....

Thank you so much! And today makes 11! And congrats to you for 9 months...that

is AWESOME! I hope to say the same thing in 8 and a half months

This morning, I had this overwhelming fear of " messing up " because my negative

self-talk tells me that anytime I am on track, I will fail. I have to just

remember that they are just emotions and not real.
