Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I have to finally put my big girl panties on and say hello to the group after a long absence. I left for a while because the lovely diet demons took quite firm possession in my head and took a while to get out. But they are gone and with them I had a revelation. I struggle with IE so much for one simple reason... it's hard work. It's not easy. Every diet that I go on is easy. It's easy because I know how to lose weight. That's not the hard part. I know what foods to eat, when to eat them, how much of them to eat, and what exercise to do. What I don't know how to do yet is slow down in this thing I call my life and listen to myself. And perhaps there is a dose of scared thrown in there as well. I'm a planner by nature. So I'm scared that I have no idea what will happen to my body as I work with IE. What I do know are these things... I've started liking me for me, in very tiny doses. I've started to look at myself in the mirror and I look at more than just my face. I've started dealing with things from my past that have shaped me into the person I am. I've started buying clothes and things that make me happy and beautiful now. Not twenty, fifty or one hundred pounds from now. I've started learning that for now just being is enough. I don't need to be the best or the worst. I just need to be, and see what happens... Okay... just my thoughts for the morning that I needed to get out... Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
