No Perfect People

cschmidt42

I spend to much time and energy trying to be perfect and I have realized I also have been looking for perfect people to fulfill my life. Building the people up in my life way out of reality and then being terribly disillusioned when I realize they are just ordinary people. Accepting my friends and family for whet they are rather than what I idealize them to be is part of growing up emotionally. I have realized by accepting myself as less than perfect I am able to reduce the unreasonable demands I make on others. By not expecting perfection from others, I can love them as they are, encourage their strengths and support their weakness. This is going to be my thinking for Thanksgiving, I have been stressing about some of my family members and had a huge awakening! I pray this helps others who suffer from BED!
Happy Thanksgiving and may we enjoy this Holiday season and not put so much pressure on ourselves!:drinker:
Love,
