Why thanks Marcia!
Quote From: marcia52My journey so far has lasted 14+ years. At least the goals I made back on 9/1991were finally actualized last year. It's been a long long journey for me and I'm just so thankful that I turned my life over to Dr. Phil since 11/18/03. Reading and living SELF MATTERS for 2 years has helped me to pick myself up and take the steps I need to take to finally begin living for the first time since I was 8 years old. I'm 53 years old and I'm just now taking better care of me than I ever have.
I sent Dr. Phil a thank you card for all that he's done for me. I am just so happy that he wrote the 2 books that have helped me the most: Weight Loss Solutions & Self Matters. I have LOVE SMART - I'm just not ready for dating - he says in the book that I if I can't answer the questions healthy, then I need to continue to work on myself. I figure that by June 1st, I'll be ready -- right now, I'm focused on tackling the dumb tapes I've written about doing yard work. DUH - the things we do to ourselves without knowing it.
I think Teri will be back when she's done with her classes. I believe she was going to school, dealing with her ex's health, and looking for a job the last time she posted. Maybe she'll come back when her life settles down.
And I'm so thankful you were here for me - I really did need to hear different points of views and receive the loving support you gave me on my journey -- thank you. In some ways you're farther along the path than I am though.
About your comment on LOVE SMART, everyone of the Doc's books point back to SELF MATTERS. If you have not developed your foundation, you are handicapped in dating, marriage, family, or interacting with the world in a positive, productive way. Fortunately, many people have a good foundation to begin with, but there are so many of us that don't. If I could recommend any book above all others, it would have to be SELF MATTERS.
