This is so true. How many times have I quit right before the answer or solution?
Thanks~

Learn to comfort yourself.

The longing for someone to share your burden can be worse than head hunger. But you will not always be able to get in touch with your support system. So, you will benefit from learning to comfort and support yourself.

Can you treat yourself to an afternoon of reading alone? How about going to a yoga class or getting a pedicure? There are so many ways to comfort yourself. Find what works for you.

Action for the day: What feels really comforting to you (that isn't unhealthy)? Make a list to refer to when you are disconnected or lonely.

Topic: RE: Venting about my mini binge yesterday......

Thank you so much Tink!!! I just read your emails you sent us this week and I love it!! Especially below quote. I needed to read this quote!! You are truly giving back and I so appreciate it. Keep up the good work!!

A fragment of a poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson is telling:

"Finish each day
And be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and
Absurdities have crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can."

Move on with your life. Keep reaching for your goals and you will achieve them. One minor setback is nothing if you really want something and are willing to work for it.
