I read that book a few years ago, and I remember that I really liked and related to it. (I’m with you on the nonfiction reading, too!)

I think a lot of the hang ups we have in life we inherit from our parents. When I started realizing that, it is a little easier to walk your own path.

For the last 2 years, my dad has been complaining about my weight. During that time period, I really have not gain much weight. I would get really upset each time I visit my parents. But one day, when I really looked at him, I realize it is not about me. He is upset that he is slowly starting to gain weight. Once I made that connection, it made me realize that a lot of “my problems” are not really my problems at all. I am very happy with my life. I just tend to forget that when I visit my parents.

such a good point kelly.

it’s, for me, embracing and fulfilling the desires.

when it’s crappetite (poptarts? oreos?) for me that isnt really a desire…either mindless or emotional.

Well-written Kelly. I sent this to my brother, who is still clinging to the guilt-mantra we grew up with. Amen to the bible thumping and highlighting.

Great post Kelly and so true!! I think that we are our own worst enemy. I know when I went through my eating disorders I wasn’t any happier about my weight then I am now. It’s amazing what our minds can conjure up.

I never thought about it that way- interesting and so true! I want to rent some workout dvds. I don’t know where our library is (how sad is that?) I need to get on that!
