I got the email from them telling me I passed the pre-qual and they wanted me to come out to see what its about.  They at that point talk to you more to see if you're ready.  I haven't responded yet.  Don't know why. I'm afraid I guess.  Something keeps telling me in the back of my mind that it's going to be too expesnive and they're gonna be teaching me things I already know. I already know how to eat and what to eat.. I already know about exercise...  I dunno.. Just scared it'll be a waste of my time because of who I am.

Or maybe you're afraid of succeeding, because you'll have to let go of "who you are." Or maybe you're afraid they'll make you..... work.... ::::ducking!:::::::::::::::: You wanna be "who you are"...or do you wanna "do what is best for you?" That's really the question, isn't it? It's really hard to make that commitment.

I'm not sure I'm afraid of succeeding, more I'm afraid I'll fail so it's easier to just not try.  I'm afraid they'll make me work yes. Very afraid of that.  I want to be who I am but not the current who I am.. I want to be that person that does what is best for my body and has no thoughts of doing anything differently.  that's the hard part..  getting your mind to that level

Do it, or don't.  Yoda's got a point-- there is no "try."

I need to take that quote to heart.  It's probably one of the best quotes ever made and it came from a little fictional green man.. Imagine that. "Do, or do not. There is no try."  -Yoda Oh yeah.. Imma add that somewhere.

k, you do HAVE TO lose that attitude "who you are" and this will be a waste of time.  Go out and take the tour. I'd ask them to cut to the chase and tell you bottom line, what will it cost. If it's within your reach, I say do it. Fer shur, it IS going to be a lot of what you already know.  However , please please believe that one of these days YOU will GET IT!  Maybe, just maybe, this one time, it will hit you in a place you didn't know you had.  I KNOW you want to change deep inside or you would not keep coming back here. Hang onto THAT mustard seed of hope & faith that you CAN CHANGE.  Kriz...it took me lots of years to get where you are now. I'm not just blowing smoke here, i mean it. Keep trying, we all have to keep trying all ways hell to breakfast, even things we've "already done"...maybe next time you will hear with a different set of ears and see with a different set of eyes.  I know you want to change. so do it.

Wow that was very motivational Neecee!!  I started replying to their email to RSVP immediately after reading that!   I checked the distance from my house and it's everybit of a 45-1 hour drive on a good day. With traffic it'd be horrendous.   However, it's only 8 weeks. 2 months.   That's all.. at first I wanted to stop replying and cancel but then I said, surely I can handle driving this for 2 months. It's not that bad.!  So I did it.. :)
