Thank you!! <br />I'm so happy this post resonated on a deep level with you, LM. <br />The dynamics are so incredibly complex, sadly, most who get trapped in this chase will stay trapped their entire lives. <br />Going through this transformation and getting deeper, below the surface and behind the "scenes," so to speak-- in my opinion, is often painful--and eye opening...but critically important if we're interested in the most monumental changes in perspective and ultimately, our lives. <br />Anyone who has read this blog over time, knows--"transformation" means so much more than a smaller body, smaller clothes, dramatic before/current pictures and a healthy weight. Those things are the least of it all.<br />"Renaissance Man," wow.

If someone is inspired to try certain things that have worked well for me, it might be great for them--or not...but I'll never push, only be supportive and respectful of where they are along this road. <br />If someone would have approached me in the middle of relapse/regain and said--"okay--this is what you're doing right now," I would have not been ready. I needed to experience what I experienced. It's the most natural way to learn in the absolute most powerful way.

I so appreciate your ability to put emotions into words that resonate with me and so many other folks. <br /><br />"...but it doesn't mean it's okay to bully oneself with brutality while constantly projecting this low, beaten down self-image onto others...assuming they can't stand us as much as we can't stand ourselves, then ferociously trying to win their love with laughter or by whatever other means."<br /><br />I've BEEN and DONE this very thing so many times, but don't know that I really recognized it until now.<br /><br />If I ever meet you, I'm gonna buy you a big ol' bottle of water!LuckyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05281357528180512889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-3736086445738836122016-01-10T08:50:14.882-06:002016-01-10T08:50:14.882-06:00This post really touched my heart...I can very muc...This post really touched my heart...I can very much relate.

Even people who might be best off doing it your way would likely resent and rebel if forced when not ready. You just tell your personal story, which is encouraging and inspiring.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05104693042948517678noreply@blogger.com
