It ...Honestly this is something that scares me too. It terrifies me. I am happy being not skinny, but for health reasons it scares me so much. I recently had a diabetes check and was shocked that it was ok, as I know it is coming. Not only is it in my family but I had diabetes when I was pregnant with all 3 babies and I was only 27 when I had Aspen. I am scared that I will be so unhealthy and I do get upset that I feel so unfit. Take care of yourself and keep working at being healthy, we do have to take care of ourselves. #mg Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-60572124633233122642017-06-08T22:58:42.321-04:002017-06-08T22:58:42.321-04:00Thank you and thank you for sharing your fear.

My fear is getting too thin! Yup, it happens. I struggled with an eating disorder for some 20+ years until I reached out and got help, and did a lot of the work to get better. The problem is, my appetite is the first thing to go when things get hard, when I am scared, fearful, worried... Many eat under these circumstances, I am the opposite. Other fears, terrorism. The world is scaring me daily. I need to practice more mindfulness to stay present and not inside my head. Thanks for your bravery! #mg Lisa Pomerantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15508476122467360712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-85357593319280875532017-06-06T09:06:35.060-04:002017-06-06T09:06:35.060-04:00Thank you!Thank you!Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-10771125826406336392017-06-06T09:06:16.889-04:002017-06-06T09:06:16.889-04:00Thank you. Yes, it was a hard post to write. Whe...Thank you. Yes, it was a hard post to write. When it comes to fears, often it's easier to just stick your head in the sand than to face it head on. i totally agree with you, it's easy to make the changes, it's not so easy to adhere to them day after day, month after month. I fell off the way, per say, back in May and let me tell ya, it's been a bitch getting back on. Luckily the damage was minimal (+1.5 pounds), but it's scary to think how easy it was to throw everything positive I had done over the past 9 months out the window and go back to old habits.<br /><br />Trust me, I understand exactly what you're saying. You can love yourself, the person you are, and not necessarily be comfortably in the skin you're in. I've spent A LOT of time in that place during my life.<br /><br />Thank you, Jenn, and best of luck to you as well.

DUH). anyway. i love who i am as a person; i don't love the skin i'm in. there are some who would say that's not loving who i am. something tells me you can understand what i'm saying though.<br /><br />i wish you luck on achieving the goals you set for yourself with regard to avoiding this fear. and thanks again for writing.jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148220405743339501noreply@blogger.com
