Sez
has started again!!
Well, as expected after my trials & tribulations I did gain 2lb this week, but I am ok with it. Its not as if it was unexpected, nor undeserved (!!), and after a long chat with my LLC I think I have got to grips with the "whys".
This weeks meeting was absolutely brilliant. I had severe misgivings as I knew that there was to be a "new" group of developers joining us, & I was very nervous (as usual) about meeting new folks! I needed have worried. The new dynamic of the group, which had possibly begun to "stale" slightly was great. The session was extremely helpful; all sorts of topics were covered, painful issues discussed (not just by me, but by others in the group too.). Afterwards, I felt not only inspired to get off my butt and carry on, but to seek additional help. I was encouraged not to feel that I should be able to cope with my other problems, and that it was not a failure to admit that one needed further help.
I know I've said it before but my LLc is fantastic. She often arranges supplementary things for her clients both physical and spiritual. (I am thinkning of the recent visit from an aromatherapist.) She has now arranged for a qualifed CBT therapist to come and talk to us, if we so wish. She feels it may be of advantage to us to have a differing perspective on our situation, and someone else to talk too. This is in addition to the Reiki practioner and crystal helaing therapist who is runnig a session on Monday, should we choose to attend. Also, we have a professional photographer coming in to take our portraits for Xmas, if like me others are vain enough to want to celebrate their new look!
SO, you see, despite a lousy week, with many many negative vibes, I still think hmmmmmm, maybe I will try a bit longer, and see where it gets me!!!
Oh, and one more thing, next week we are looking again at goal setting. As we left, another member & I had a chat. The upshot of which was that on New Years Day 2008, we will NOT be making the resolution to go on a diet for that year. WE may well be in management, and very likely dealing with a little Xmas excess, but we will be dealing with in a healthy, sensible, lifestyle way!! NO more diets for us.....
LL Rocks!!!
