Quote From: rebeccatolRichard, you are amazing!! I guess I really just needed to say what I have said in my previous posts. I DO know what I need to do and I have put down the ice cream. Yay me!!!
I am not sure if my husband has self esteem issues. He seems to be the most confident person I know. Since I have put on the extra pounds I have found myself hidding behind my children or my husband when we go out. I want to get out of my comfort zone so I can learn to be more outgoing. I am turning a new leaf over and I am going to start making more conscience descions on what goes in my mouth and the amount that goes in there too. What you have said just hit home with me and made me realize that I do have the right tools to make the changes. Thank you for taking time out of your day to help me realize that I can do what I put my mind to.
The first thing that I want to do is thank you for accepting my words in the spirit in which they were meant. There are many who would be defensive and attack (it has hapened on this board already to me a few times)...
And I'll also say this...YOU are the amazing one. ...introspection is a quality that few posses. I really hope that you can sustain your enthusiasm. It is difficult to do...but I have a feeling that you will.
Taking "time out" to chat with someone like you is my pleasure...
