Back On Track Together
I'm wondering
Let's see - when I signed on this morning there were 457 of us BOTTers
We don't have NEARLY that many folks posting. Now I know there are some that are a little shy - and my hope is they would remember Wizard of Oz and the lion who learned he had courage all along, he just didn't believe he did. I believe in you, now please beleive in yourself.
But the one's I'm most concerned about are those who may be feeling not so good about themselves because they read of our success at staying on track - or getting back on track very very soon and that isn't what they are experiencing so the feel they are "different" (read Not Good Enough) so they want to hide.
Please, I beg of you, don't do that. We are only experiencing success because we reached out and asked for ihelp. Not only did we ask, we accepted. When you hide from us, you are also attempting to hide from yourself. There's no reason to feel shame or guilt - doesn't help a thing and only keeps you from moving on.
The same caring, support, and acceptance enabled us who have been able to get back on track is available to you. I invite you to let us reach out to you. We are here for you. I believe it is vital to our success to both give and receive support. And you know what? I've found the good news is that it's impossible to give without also receiving! Since what you are doing isn't working as well as you'd like, why not give us a chance - what have you got to lose except unwanted pounds?
WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER, YES WE CAN!!!!
