I know I'm late to this, but I have to s...YES! I know I'm late to this, but I have to say, I am floored by the honesty, and I can relate to it. In the last year of knowing I need to lose 40 lbs that I gained nearly overnight because of a depression, and knowing that I need to get rid of the depression because I gave my life over to it in the last two years, I have come to this same conclusion over and over in the last 18 months - I can love myself, but I cannot confuse loving myself with accepting bullshit that is NOT ME, behaviors and habits that are less than me and the life I can have... granted, during all of this, even finding love for myself has proven to be quite hard. Still, I know I can get there, but I can get there while working to improve my health and stretch beyond the "comfort" of the chocolate covered almonds and reruns of Sex and the City... because all any of that is doing is making me uncomfortable to be me and to live my life. :( <br /><br />Thank you so much! Hugs, and I just love you!Ashley Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887215416128346871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249235625004260587.post-57720715466365232632012-03-28T11:40:55.963-07:002012-03-28T11:40:55.963-07:00u have no idea how inspiring u are. weight loss ra...u have no idea how inspiring u are. weight loss rather fat loss is not just exercise n food....its about so much more. i have lost a lot of weight n still to lose more. right now in a tough situation..things not working out.. but i WILL make it work.

I couldn't have said it any better myself. I thank you for your motivational words. 20lbs lighter, and I feel awesome. But Im still uncomfortable where ever I go, and my insecurities of my wardrobes haunt me daily. My breathlessness of just walking up an inclined hill haunts me and makes me want to continue walking to make breathing better. <br />Congratulations on your current accomplishments and your journey to this point of your life. God bless you! Youre an inspiration!deehttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage.asp?id=deeyandall_07noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249235625004260587.post-42996613333046142912012-03-23T10:04:08.499-07:002012-03-23T10:04:08.499-07:00Thank you for your comments.

I lapse a lot and can't get to my home computer more than a couple of times a week. But the spark pages keep reminding me that there is help out there and inspiration if I will just make up my mind to start.<br /><br />This post today is very honest and I like it very much. I think that it's good not to fool yourself and to face reality. I just finished watching Fat, Sick and Dying on Netflix and it touched on the same honesty.

You are right, while one should never get obsessive about most anything, one can still strive to do better in whatever they do.
