Self-Worth

[Guest guest]

Anybody relate or feel they are like this? I know I am. I totally base my

self-worth on my appearance - always have. If I am getting into shape - I not

only like myself, but I think others like me better too. Especially in the case

of my husband. I know it sounds ridiculous, but if I put on 5 pounds and feel

" fluffy " I feel unlovable and even push him away. It sounds crazy writing it,

even. Then, I think to myself how my husband judges his self-worth on his

business success - doesn't really give a damn about his body imperfections.

Everyone has something different to base their self-worth. So, how do I change

over? How do I switch to basing my self-worth on the me that's already here -

on the inside. Like said, completing this challenge will make me strong,

confident, accomplished. But the flip side is that when I don't do well, I feel

totally worthless. I am off program 3-4 days, and I feel like a complete loser

- and then eating crap makes me feel

better for 5 minutes and guilty for days. So self destructive. I know my

confident self is waiting for me a few months out, but I lack consistency, which

I know is the key to my success. What in the world is wrong with me? Do I just

need some intense therapy or what?? Your feedback and solutions are

appreciated! Amy

A little tidbit of info I learned from a sports nutritionist about

using Udo's or flaxseed oil. She said that for every 50 lbs of body

weight you should be taking 1 tbs. of the oil. And of course, you

must account for those calories in your daily intake. Just another

little piece of info to add to the endless flow!
