Everyone is scared. Truly. Every one ...Hey, Diz! <br /><br />Everyone is scared. Truly. Every one is scared. It's the human condition. Different people deal with their fears in different ways. <br /><br />Me--I like to vent it. Once I put it out there, it loses its power over me. I see it for what it is--smoke and mirrors. Truth defeated those things on the cross, but sometimes I forget that.<br /><br />Others deal with their fear in other ways--through positive confession or denial that they even have fear--or perpetual happy attitudes--or being busy and productive--or with addiction to booze, drugs, sex, food... Everyone has their own style; some ways are healthier than others.<br /><br />Are you nuts? Yes. But, then, we all are. We all have issues, insecurities, stuff. That is also the human condition. (Being nuts isn't the same as being mentally ill, you understand.)<br /><br />You know, I have a true story. I am habitually under the impression that there are people out there who actually have it all together. That I am just the only one who is such a mess. <br /><br />I met someone once who seemed to prove the fact that it was possible to be everything one should be. I mean she had it down! Great wife and mother--talented, kept a clean house, volunteered, extremely organized, great sense of humor, giving, loving, bright--just on top of it!<br /><br />Turned out--now this is the truth!--that she had multiple personoalities (called dissociative identity disorder now). Really. lol. She was able to do the impossible because she was a couple dozen people. ha. I am not making this up.<br /><br />Anyway, as long as I am the only person inside of this skin, I'm going to be less competent and together than I think I should be. You, too.<br /><br />So, my advice? Grab hold of that fear and wrestle it to the ground in whatever way works for you. If talking it out allows you to put that fear in perspective--talk yourself silly.<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966033315832731461.post-83799262829203148672009-11-07T13:18:27.475-08:002009-11-07T13:18:27.475-08:00Okay, here's my take on this...first..you'...Okay, here's my take on this...first..you're not crazy for having trouble admitting your fears. <br /><br />Second, if you couldn't openly talk about it with Marty he wouldn't be the right guy for you. My boyfriend knows losing weight is super important to me so he lets me talk about it as much as I want to. :) He's extraordinarily awesome. :) <br /><br />Also, you friend's husband = douche bag. I would tell him to...well, I'd have some choice words for him. It sounds like your friend needs a big boost of self-esteem too which would be hard to get with a clown like that around. Can you tell that fires me up? <br /><br />Anyway...back to my point. It's okay to be scared of gaining weight. And admitting it doesn't mean it's going to happen. If I were you I wouldn't obsess over it because trust me Diz, you're working hard now...and if you keep taking it one day at a time, that work will turn into a habit..and at some point it will just be who you are. <br /><br />I'll totally ♥ you either way.Kenliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514481580609757683noreply@blogger.com
