There are different forms of anxiety that affects us in different ways. This is where we can try to come to a self realization of what turns up our anxiety dial and ways to overcome it.

    Past relationships deeply affect how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with others. Current relationships can be a great source of joy, warmth and support, or of loneliness, frustration and unhappiness. I had a family reunion this month, in which this website help me lose 10 pounds for that function. Actually, I thought it was a life long start and was still watching what I ate at the reunion. My past relationships were haunting me with my girlfriends, so I decided to look them up. Instead of having a good support from them, they were more like good to see ya, you look great, catch you around. So much for friendship. Currently, I have a lady who I thought might be a good friend. She cooked me food to take home and I did the same for her. She was talking about coming over, but now she changed that into, I want to cook for your family, you can pick it up at my work. I don't think I want that kind of friendship. I think she has issues of thinking her home is small, and maybe doesn't want me to see it. But, whatever her issues, I might be straight with her and say I don't just want to swap food, but have a friendship if possible. I am not sure. My neighbor is in her eighties and likes me to come over to help her straighten up her house. We have sort of a friendship of having fun going to places, enjoying, and then coming home. When I came back home from the reunion, I got in a funk. I didn't go back on myfitness pal, ate whatever I wanted, and let myself go again. I have been off of it for 15 days. My husband last night told me that I am gaining weight in my face again and that I had gone off the band wagon. He stated that I had done such a good job, that it's a shame that I stopped. I guess that is what I needed to hear. Yesterday, I also had went to get a few house clothes. I still feel lighter than when I started so I have decided that my husband is right and I need to restart. This program works if you stick with it and I know that. He is a good husband and a real friend to me. I know he wants me to take care of myself. So the only person that can let me down, is myself. Here is to a re-start!
