I am going to take some time now and face it all and cry and write and let it wash over me. And then move on. You have truly made a difference in my life and for that I will be forever grateful. Thank you. You are incredible! Hi Steve,

I don't know the details, but having spoken with you before I know you can move through this. It sucks now, yes, but that doesn't take away from who you are and what you've learned. You compare "old" and "new" Barbara and are scared to go back - that sounds reasonable, and I know that moving forwards is where you need to be going. Picture yourself sitting down with "new" Barbara, the Barbara that's wise, vibrant, healthy and generous of spirit. What would she say to you? What would she want you to understand? What would she want you to do? How do you replace negative feelings with good ones? That's a really tough question, but I get the sense you just want to bury them and get on with things. Sometimes the confident thing to do is to allow yourself to feel what you're feeling fully, and sometimes that's the only way to let go. That doesn't mean you have to follow the pattern of comfort eating you have, one thing doesn't have to lead to the other, it simply means you're radically honest with yourself. @Barbara: So sorry to hear that you’re suffering.

I had been making some good changes in my life. But I recently had a setback, a revelation that something I held dear was not real after all and I have been devastated. Though I have been having difficulty with this mentally, my physical self is reverting to my "old" self. In the last week I've gained an enormous amount of weight. My physical self is reflecting what I looked like before this wonderful thing entered my life. I was fat, didn't take very good care of myself, was angry all the time, etc. And I am like that now. I am afraid to go back but it's happening. I want to move forward. How do I replace negative feelings with good ones? I want to be confident, I need to be confident now more than ever... Hi Steve!
