Hi Ss- I wanted to thank you for stopping by my thread and swing by to give you some support.

In reading through your initial posts I read something that's probably true for many of us a definitely my H and I- we were all waiting for the other one to bake some changes and meet us halfway before we did the work needed.
I so wish I hadn't been so stubborn before. But I also know I had to forgive myself and I hope you've worked on that too as carrying around shoulda/coulda/would doesn't help.

Sounds like over time you really have had some great positives to focus on. Keep looking for those! As far as GAL- I found working out to be extremely therapeutic. Helps too that the physique change doesn't go unnoticed smile
I saw your D6 ( almost 7, right?) does karate. That would be a great one for you to join her in. My kids do that too and I keep considering it but haven't yet.

Hope you continue to have positive steps and find some opportunities for GAL that are fulfilling. Enjoy your trip for D's birthday and rock his socks off with your new you!
