Courage and fear.............
Sep 08, 2010
It took courage to admit I had a problem with food and that I could not succeed alone. With God/my higher power guiding me and Dr. Gandhi's surgical skills, I have slowly reached every short term goal that I have set before me. It is a matter of time that I reach my final goal of 130 pounds. Change is always scary.I cannot fear what I do not know and/or my past negative and hurtful
experiences. I write this to remind myself, I no longer have those past people around me to sabotage and/or hurt me. If I allow fear to keep me from trying now, I am enabling fear and my past experiences to continue to influence the present and my success. Life is what I make it as I make my journey through it. I have no second chances or do overs. I do have this moment. I can only make the best decision for myself in this moment. Thus, I decide each moment what is best for me; my success, and it all began with courage.
