YOU will only DO what you need to do to get you where you want to be IF you think that reflection is worth all the sweat, anger, angst, frustration... BUT the caveat is and always will be... be careful about what you ask for because there is always going to be a trade off... Here's an example...
what woman here would love to be dating a fireman? fitness level off the charts, brave, strong, the trade off? shift work... how many days will you be living without him, how many calls a day will you be worried about him? ... and how many years before an insidious disease finishes him from all the toxicity he is exposed to every time he heads to work?
Carpe Diem... IF you don't start today if you have NOT started yet? what are you waiting for? Are Ya'll aware that the earth was just missed (cosmically speaking) by another asteroid? when is too late too late? our lives are such fleeting and fragile constructs... it is simply amazing that people drop in here to express to complete strangers things they dare not share with the people they love... when by the very nature of love should we NOT trust those we love with those deep dark feelings above what a stranger might think?
Sometimes we get lost in ourselves, and end up wondering what the people we love think about us.. instead of simply finding that person... taking their hand looking them in the eye and asking...or telling... or just reconnecting. So...
I confess that for everyone here I wish they would spend an hour today... thinking about someone they love... and WHY... then draft an email, or a real letter to that person... your husband, your wife, your mom, dad, sister, brother, children... put it in an envelope and seal it... address it to you and tuck it away...
Love is NOT something we wait to receive... it is something we try to give every day... do that... and the person you see in that reflection will never feel lonely...and will never feel guilty about being just a little selfish.
I confess this is way too long. I just can't. Cliff notes?5 -

((((((((((HUGS))))))))))! I confess that I do want this to sound like a boo hoo woe is me confession because we all go through hard times & we all have a necessity, as social beings; to vent. You're a glorious woman, whom always tries to help other's; with their difficulties here but it's also okay for you, to deal with your own hardships here as well!

I often feel like this. It's discipline (for bettering myself and not ending up with health problems I can avoid if I work at it) and my super awesome martial arts skills that get me through these days/weeks/months.

i confess that i am struggling from bullimia1

I confess, trying to fight that holiday settling urge I get where I just eat comfort food and don't exercise much. Usually gain 6-10 pounds from Nov thru January. I further confess, I really don't care to fight the urge, but logically I am trying to convince myself.
Weird.0 -

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I don't have any goals either. Well, they are vague goals like not to get type 2 diabetes before I die....0 -

i confess that this morning at work i jacked all the kids 100 grand bars from their halloween candy (about 15 of them) and then i told them the dog went through the bags last night and ate only the 100 grands cuz those are all dogs favorite candy bars5

I have finaly figured out what my problem is due to a post that reads:
Having anxiety and & depression is like being scared and tired at the same time.
Its the fear of failure but no urge to be productive. Its wanting friends but hate socializing.
Its wanting to be alone, but not wanting to be lonely. Its caring about everything, then caring about nothing.
Its feeling everything at once, then feeling paralyzingly numb.
Sums up everything that is wrong in my world.7 -

Thank you all for you kind words and support. I promise to keep working out...I'm just not gonna have any goals for awhile, and thats ok. Sometimes just getting through the day is a good enough goal for all of us.

i confess i'm kinda right with you. 12 lbs from goal..feeling "okish" and losing momentum...again. dang momentum.0 -
I confess that in supermarket queues I judge people by the contents of their basket/trolley also mentally 'helpful' advice such as 'Why are you buying diet pepsi and a tray of 12 cupcakes?' and ' Have you considered swapping those donuts for fruit? Given your size that would be a good idea' and similar.
I can demonstrate my versatility - I can also do this in cafes and restaurants ' should you really be having a cream cake with your coffee?' or 'Hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows? - nice, but not really ideal for a chubster like you'.
Recently I have extended my range and now provide helpful mental fashion tips to unsuspecting people considering clothes purchases.
I am a little afraid that there may be follow up confession at some point, when my brain forgets to keep my mouth shut - it will be something like 'I confess I am on my way to A+E having failed to keep my advice to myself...'

I used to do similar a thing (for me it was Kit Kat). I told them after I got the Kit Kat bars that it was the Easter bunny and that was how he got candy for Easter. I made sure that they (and me) received plenty of Kit Kat bars in their Easter Baskets. WIN WIN 3 -
I confess to sometimes feeling really down and stuffing my face with an ENTIRE pack of Oreo Cookies...and then feeling good while eating them but feeling WORSE after they are gone...
It has happened more than I want to admit in the recent past.

I confess I can't wait for my parents to move. Partly for selfish reasons like they will be closer and when they call needing something only 15 minutes away but also because I am concerned for their mental wellbeing and don't trust them in the house alone anymore1
