Y...It was so nice reading your comment on my blog.<br /><br />You are totally right-on about not having anything about the photos I post. I will, from here on, post random photos (that have some relation), but I won't explain what it is. I sure wish we could sit around and crack jokes. You always made me laugh so much.<br /><br />I too am so thankful for our friendship. Like I said before, I consider you a brother. It is rare to meet people like you and I'm so grateful that we are friends. I am in awe of you too, you know how much respect I have for you.<br /><br />I hope the book is helpful. I really appreciate how the author went over about how our emotional state has a powerful effect on our weight. It also helped me to accept and love myself as I was.<br /><br />I hope you are feeling better today and I hope you truly know what an amazing person you are.<br /><br />P.S. bbubblyb is right on about isolating. I am the same way. Isolating is the worst thing I can do for myself. I've learned that the hard way.<br /><br />Direct from a command performance for Odin in Valhalla, the Umlaut IS back!<br /><br />Take care.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655712303275612316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684609362184929716.post-50250201485959182212009-12-09T01:35:57.434-07:002009-12-09T01:35:57.434-07:00You've come so far...you can do this!

I need others, I need support and to support and I need to be heard. So I think posting often is a great idea.

When one of the plates stops spinning, it generally has a devastating effect on all the others, and that's when bad things happen.<br /><br />You can do this. I swear that you can. Focus is a big part of it, but so is planning and just plain ol grit and determination. You're in this for the long haul, so step up to the plate and get going. You know, as much as any of us do, what it takes to be successful on this weight-loss journey. <br /><br />As FDR said "Do, or do not. There is no 'try.'"

My focus..."I've shifted my focus forward.<br /><br />My focus is now on those things that I truly want moving forward in the next moment of today and leading into tomorrow, and what choices I will make in order to get them."<br /><br />What you said here is what it's all about. Although, I don't believe in focusing on what we DON'T want, I totally agree with how you switched, and made moving forward your primary motivation.<br /><br />I love reading your blog, as it feels like you're teaching... while attempting to learn at the same time.<br /><br />DayneDayne Gingrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670846587449384876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684609362184929716.post-19646157591829555892009-12-07T20:09:46.400-07:002009-12-07T20:09:46.400-07:00You're in the same time zone as I am, and I ha...You're in the same time zone as I am, and I haven't exercised yet today (but I'm gonna).

I'm glad you'...I hope you feel better soon!<br /><br />I'm glad you're letting go of the negative stuff. I remember something you said once about "intrinsic value" and it has never left me. Since I didn't really believe I had intrinsic value, it helped me change how I viewed myself despite my failures. Many of my addictive behaviors came from my own unwillingness to accept and love myself as I am.<br /><br />As I've always told you, you are a fantastic person. You are one of the finest people I've ever met (and one of the sharpest tools in the drawer). I still believe you have great things ahead of you and I'm fortunate to be your friend.<br /><br />It's funny, I've been thinking of going back to school to become a psychologist and was telling MB today that I think you (SoC) would be an amazing psychologist too. It's a nice coincidence that we both were posting today.<br /><br />Take care (and feel better)!Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655712303275612316noreply@blogger.com
