Where are you on your journey?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone! I can't tell how many active posters or lurkers there are right

now...but being fairly new I would love to hear about where you are on your IOWL

journey, what has worked most for you, least, etc. Maybe add what other tools

you are using such as books or other forums that have helped, a certain eating

plan, etc. As in most weight related forums people come and go...mostly " go "

unfortunately..so, let's see who we have. Lurkers, come on out and say hi!!

For me, I was introduced to IOWL about six weeks ago from a forum member of

Spark People. I am on episode 15.. I see very small hints of awareness and

change in me but so small that if I lose touch with this forum or the podcasts I

will surely forget all I learned. I have incorporated very little of it into my

day... I think that my problem is the failure to truly love and accept myself

as I am today and therefore allow for my own self-care. I am also working

through Louise Hay's book and workbook entitled You can Heal Your Life. If I

can't make any headway with the podcasts and reading books I may have to bite

the bullet and get professional therapy. Although there are some issues at home

I have much to be grateful for. It angers me that my " inner child " can't just

grow up and take responsibility for allowing my true self be healthy and happy

in my middle years.

I thank you all for sharing yourself with the rest of us. I have learned so

much and you are all a wealth of knowledge.
