I'm starting over again. Tomorrow. Why is it so gosh darn hard for me??? Maybe because I've grown so accustomed to being this way. Alissa describes one of her clients in her book as having been "Comfortable with being uncomfortable." It's scary, but that's sort of the way I feel. I've just been this way for so long. Ever since I've been really heavy, I've asked my boyfriend to do a lot of things for me that I am capable of doing myself (Like getting me a glass of water and other stupid stuff like that). It takes more effort now because I've very overweight, but I'm still able to do them. But I've gotten used to having less responsibility. This makes me really sad. I never thought I'd get like this. But here I am. I have to get back on track. I'm so sick of myself.

    I know for me, the food/weight was camoflauge for deeper issues. I found once I moved away from the immediate "problem" of the weight, the real problems surfaced and I wasn't always ready to deal with them. When you're ready, you'll know it :)

    dakinimind: I'm aware that there are much deeper issues I need to deal with. Unfortunately, I don't know how to deal with them. I'm currently seeing a therapist (and have been in therapy for the last nine years), but she's not very good. It's all my insurance will pay for and I don't have the money to see someone really good.

    When I started back on raw, I first had to clear some major negative influences out of my life.

    Including my ex, some fam, and my own attitude toward myself.

    Now, I am free of him, free of the control my family ONCE had, and I am finding a positive attitude.

    I still struggle with viewing myself as a happy, healthy, whole person... sometimes I stand in front of the mirror and see only the negatives.

    Surround yourself with a positive ENVIRONMENT and positive PEOPLE.
