YesHey bunbun well done on the running and the weight loss. You have certainly had an eventful few months ! So glad you seem happier and more focussed and YOU GOT THE JOB too - whoo hoo. Very best wishes for Monday. NLP - is that Neuro Linguistic something or other ? Am intrigued.Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task. William James0

I often feel like you and it takes just small changes regularly to make a difference...
hypno is a good one to speak to sweets-she's brilliant.
I would look into NLP if that's an option...You have to find it in yourself babe. Being 'thin/rich/funny/blonde/brunette' etc etc will not make you suddenly happy-you need to find it now within yourself and the other things will follow. I love my Paul McKenna CD's if you want to borrow any of those?
do you think they work? I have his I can make you thin books, and I think I have the rich one too:o
I think I have to be thin and have nice skin and still be unhappy to really believe that isn't the problem does that make sense? I dont love my current job but it is a means to an end and I do love my second job so that's ok. I am coming to terms with my family and trying to let go of stuff that I cannot change.
but I come back to the fact that I feel unattractive and never "at my best" cos I am over weight and have bad skin. this results in me not going out - I met my friends in a pub last night pre cinema and I hated it. I walked in once panicked and walked out again !:o I eventually went in through another door:o. the not going out results in my never meeting anyone etc etc.
and so I do wonder if I lost weight and my skin cleared up and I could wear nice clothes oh I don't know. it is not that easy I know but I don't honestly know what else to do.

Yesneuro Linguistics Programming my sweets-it's about changing the paths your brain synapses (?) take and therefore changing habits etc. Very powerful and effective.
Ellie, this year has been pretty crap but it's getting better now. Im happy and positive. And thanks about the job. xxxEmpty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0 -

awwwwww hun, it sounds like you have a lot of different issues but i can honestly only be a good thing for mind body and soul if you find an exercise programme you like... it releases feel good hormones, will help you meet people, you need to take on extra water and so skin improves, it's all related i think..........
maybe even check out some aqua-areobics or something as it is generally girls built like us, or older women so you don't have that gorgeous fit bodies will be there thing to contend with...I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -
YesOh Buffy my sweets. I would so live to give you a big hug.
I can assure you, losing weight and having nice skin will not change a bloody thing, trust me-I am living walking talking proof.
I lost 4 stone 3 years ago expecting my life to be better and in fact it was worse...I wont go into gorey details but becasue I still left like the same person inside, fat, ugly, stupid, that was people saw.
Your friends are like us I imagine, we love you becasue of who you ARE not for what you look like etc.
I think it WILL work, but you have to work at it-it doesnt come without trying and working at it.
Another one I would recommend is 'The Secret' I can lend you that too if you want?Empty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0 -
Yesi've thought about getting the secret but it's kinda hard to determine what it is, unless you get it recommended to you by someone who's read it....
they like to keep you guessing don't they?
what is it exactly bunny?I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -
YesThe Secret is basically using the power of positive thoughts to achieve what you want. But there is more to it obviously.
a really good book to read first, dead easy and can be read in a few hours is
The Law of Attraction my Michael Loisier-changed my life xEmpty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0
