Writing towards Success?

[cdtobehealthy]

Who do you blame most of your problems on? Really look honestly at this one.I blame most of my problems on my past, my family, my emotions, and sometimes the world. I give up really easily. Sometimes I tell myself that I am meant to be this way, sometimes I say that I’m fucked up because of my past, or I blame my family, or I just let my

hey there, i could relate to most of what you wrote here, you totally sound like me, if you ever want to chat or anything you can email ilenejulia@aol.com or my aim is ilenejulia. you will get there, don't give up, you can do this and I'm here to support you! take care :-)

I'd love to chat or something sometime, only I'm so bad at it! :P I had an e-mail weightloss pal and I felt so bad because I'd just keep forgetting to email or I'd have nothing to say. I rarely talk to people on AIM either. I think its just easier when I can actually plot out what I want to say without someone waiting there for my response, you know?

I'm so glad you're here to support me :) and I'm glad I'm not alone.. the same completely goes for you. My e-mail is cdtobehealthy@yahoo.com if you really need to talk :) I'll try my hardest to respond.

*hugs*

i think you're doing amazing, every time you post i get motivated to stick with it, especially this one, when you posted your reasons for losing weight. it reminds me of things i haven't even thought about. <3

I'm glad my posts motivate you :) Yea.. my list is reaching the hundreds now, I just add whatever comes to mind - whatever I experience daily. Its insane how many little things would be changed in our lives just be losing weight.

I'm almost tempted to start a "if I were in shape/thin" list.. sort've like those Pros and Cons lists.. just so I can remind myself how much changing would be beneficial. ARgh :)

Thanks for this post. I know you wrote it for yourself, but it helped me too!
It is scary becoming a new person, especially when you still feel like the same person you have always been. I know thats how I feel. But I am taking it one day at a time. I know there are certain people who look at me now who wouldnt have before, but I try to treat them the way I would treat anyone. I hope that maybe my compassion will rub off on them. In the last month or so I have really began to be proud of myself for the changes I have made. I am examining my body more and noticing even the little details. LOL I can see parts of my body that Ive never seen before..(I can see all of my sides.. if that makes sense).
I know that we can do this. Me and you, and the others that are out there working so hard. I know that we have it in us!

I initially write it for myself, but I put it on here to share with all of you :) I hope that whoever needs to takes from my entries to help inspire themselves or help be honest with themselves. I've been doing a lot of "questionarres for success" type things and I think it helps me focus a lot.

Thags great, you should be proud of yourself :) Its hard for me to be proud yet.. but at times even I can find myself being a little perkier because I know that I have at least changed in a small way - in the way of actually thinking about my weightloss daily.

We can do it :) we will

Your List is so much like mine it is scary. I feel all those things, but am too afraid to write them down. You are so brave being so honest with yourself. I really think that is half the battle.

[cdtobehealthy]

it really is half the battle.. and it is so hard. Its so easy to just eliminate things out of your life that don't work because of your life. Like I started telling people that I was afraid of rollercoasters (very untrue!! I love them), I started telling people I hate restaurants, or I just buy the largest size ever to make absolutely sure that I don't notice how tight smaller clothes are. Totally a life of delusion!

It is half the battle.. if not more. I say if you can, especially if you need to do it privately.. write a list and try to be as honest as possible. I share mine because I hope everyone will learn whatever skills they need to help with their weightloss - writing my feelings honestly is mine :)

*hugs*

i am exactly the same way about roller coasters! in fact, my friend (the only one I talk to about this stuff) and i were just talking about roller coasters and I was saying how I pretend to hate them, when really I am embarrassed that I wont fit! I am the same way about restuarants and also airplanes. When I travel I always want to bring a friend, so that I dont feel bad about taking up more than my seat. It is so true the sacrifices we make for food.
