      sorry about your loss...but you can do this...just remember our mantra...eat real slow and chew, chew and chew and you will make it thru even this hard time!!! God bless!!!

      Hey lady you are doing awesome! Now look at me...stress monster that I am and I am eating my face off too! It stinks but sometimes we have to remember that we are alive and we have habits that are deeply ingrained from childhood to today. We are who we are and we are working on who we want to be. We are on the road, and we have the courage and the tools but sometimes you hit a rock and sometimes that rock is diamond in the ruff and sometimes it's just a rock. So look for the diamonds when you hit those rocks they are worth it, and toss all the rest to the side and keep on going!

      You have done so much and come so far so quickly. Your whole life has literally changed, the way we "fit" into the world has changed and we need to reassess the space we take up. We are used to hiding, we've had layers and layers to cover up with to shrink away and "not" be noticed for who we truly are. Now that has been stripped away and you are exposed and raw, it happened fast for you..and it's overwhelming. Nothing is wrong with you. You need a minute or two. Your a strong woman who is there for so many, and now your out there and your feeling exposed and weak it's easy to let those "bullies" get to us. Even when the bully is the one in the mirror. You can deal with her the same way you would a bully who is picking on your son or daughter. Stand up to her, and show her how strong and confidant you really are!

      You are a strong educated loving caring woman, who deserves every happiness the world has to offer, even a cookie now and then!

      Because we are our own worse critics and we are not used to the positive attention that we are getting now as we used to be just passed by every ere and we sometimes didn't feel good about our selves and there was at least 1 person that would tell us , so now we have energy we're getting out and enjoying as we know we can and then we take that moment at a mirror or a window and think do I actually look healthy and do I look good , heck ya we do we are putting in our work and it is paying off, when we felt there was no hope , we went and found help with our tool to help us just a bit , so don't be hard on your self you know what and where you were before , and where you are headed now, our mind likes to play tricks on us .
