…a new feeling of hope.
It’s not like I’m rarin’ to go and get back on track, lose weight and stuff – but there is a new awareness, a new hope inside of me. I’m going to continue on this journey, but allow myself to take it slower. Make small changes, slowly and over time with the plan that it will make them more permanent changes, so that with each new habit I bring forth, it will be easier – not so many things at once. I know this will be the key for long-lasting success.
I had my appt with the new counselor on Sunday morning. It was difficult, actually. She is really wonderful and perfect for this need, I think. Very supportive and understanding. That being said, she is also action based, which is exciting for me. I will have to see her every couple of weeks as it’s all out of pocket to pay for. Thing is, she wants me to stop focusing on losing weight for a month or two. This is hard for me since with Slimgenics, you prepay for your time and if I ‘take this break’ to work from the inside, out, then I will be losing the time I’ve already paid for with Slimgenics. That being said, I completely see where she’s coming from. While we work on the inside stuff, the behaviors will be easier for me to follow, to commit to, it won’t be this constant drowning feeling that I tend to have the past several months (or my whole life) when it comes to weight loss. At least, that is our goal.
Anywho, things from my past that have beeh haunting me for years, have suddenly taken a more direct approach. They’ve been shouting and refusing to be ignored and pushed down – so now is the time to take them head on so that I can finally move forward.
Move forward into growth, or backward into safety.
