Re: I thought I'd share

Thank you Ashley, what a sweet note! This realization was vital for me because I'm studying for a career change in which I want to be a therapist, but there are times when I get very impatient with certain types of people, my father's wife being one of them. I think once I've finally been able to watch the train wreck that is her life and the drama she brings into my father's life and LET IT GO emotionally (because intellectually I already know there is nothing I can do), then I'll know I've made real progress! Right now I'm still very attached to the idea that I want it to change and her to be better. So that's for me to work on. But that is a very personal situation b/c of how much I love my dad... I was able to let go of the situation with my coworker and let her make her decisions... and I did apologize for getting short with her, which started this whole thing.

Somehow this leap seemed to correspond with a more relaxed less frenzied approach to my eating. I'm not binging - but I'm also eating very little sweets & processed food to reduce the physical reasons that influence binging as well. I think it's all connected and I'm the type of person that has no problem with hardship itself as long as I have a plan. You may remember from an earlier post that I was having a rough time. Now having the issue pinned that I currently can work on, I am happier b/c I can roll up the sleeves and get to work, and watch for the next stage of progress. It also makes me happy b/c all this addresses a key issues that I thought might affect my ability to be a compassionate therapist for certain people. Anyway, I feel like I'm rambling! I love philosophical/spiritual discussion, so I tend to ramble about those thoughts. I should get on more and read - I've only read a few of your posts but I see you post often.
