Rea...I needed to read this and I thank you for it. Really thank you. <br /><br />I ate a whole cake by myself. A whole one. In two days. I'm sick of the scale not moving anywhere even though I've worked myself silly almost every day for over a month and a half. I'm tired...and depressed. Bad food makes me feel even worse so I grab more bad food because let's face it, I already ruined it, right? <br /><br />It is easy to look at a dear friend and cheer them on because of the love you have for them. It is harder for me to look at myself and think I deserve the same. It's brutally hard to let go of the "all or nothing" mentality that has kept me here (and maybe kept you there?).<br /><br />I love you Helen. You are worth feeling better and my wish is that your journey is easier from here on out.Tired Mom of Sixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18438220534152871308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12566943.post-36027942333982452852009-05-14T21:17:00.000+00:002009-05-14T21:17:00.000+00:00How'd it go today? first day back on track always...How'd it go today? first day back on track always seems so long! I did some major housework today and I'm tired and sore so I might just count that for my workout :)<br /><br />HUGSJulie Julie Bo Booliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02106650181796688080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12566943.post-84997979167064945572009-05-14T09:14:00.000+00:002009-05-14T09:14:00.000+00:00Oh Helen I am so with you on this one.

I am going on holiday at the end of July and I want to be thinner. Guess what I did yesterday? Signed up to run the Reading half marathon in March next year! That ought to get me moving my fat backside. Maybe this time I can do it and keep at it. Fingers crossed and prayers for us both!

If everyone was 'living life perfectly' what a boring world this would be. Perhaps instead it is the journey, the striving again and again. These challenges and how we approach them are what give meaning to our lives.<br /><br />This thought helps to pick me up and keep striving, and not beat myself for 'failing' at things.<br /><br />Hugs to you brave Helen!Leiani - Western Australianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12566943.post-87197568299732732682009-05-13T23:11:00.000+00:002009-05-13T23:11:00.000+00:00Enjoy your time exploring.

We can have oh so much fun cause really I miss YOU and I want to see YOU. I don't have to fly so I don't have to worry about conquering my fears" but my rational side knows that you have made the right decision. I know that you will have a splendid time this summer with your family and am so grateful that you were able to come to Boston twice in one year. <br />I can still be sad, right? Really sad? I think I will take the day and pout. Today is officially "I'm pouting day and if you piss me off I"m going to throw a tantrum"<br /><br />I love you!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507588200931014126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12566943.post-82055788714710342702009-05-13T17:03:00.000+00:002009-05-13T17:03:00.000+00:00I'm with you every step of the way.
