I'm a middle aged woman meeting goals unbelievable to myself, currently in a doctoral program becoming a psychologist just as I wanted in my childhood. My mental health is terrific...super terrific considering the brain tumor removed. I'm going to engage in a career that I adore...not a 2nd hand job that I dread. I know I am in the perfect frame of mind to meet a lifelong partner, my only trouble is my physical health.

I have put on a good deal of weight and have gotten completely out of shape for a plethora of reasons...and I have dawdled with a poor attempts to work with my weight with failure. However something new has struck so hard that I feel absolutely positive that I will follow through this time. I'm being video tapped with clients, and while my sessions are running well I am completely disgusted with how I look.

I look slumpy, my boobs hit the belly when I sit, I'm simply not comfortable to start with. Now I know I connect with clients, but honestly can not stand how I look. That's that. I will not present myself like this any longer, and there are no ifs ands or buts that will take me out on this one.

I quit smoking well over a decade ago. I returned to college later in life and have thrived. I've thrived so much I am becoming a freaking doctor...the hell if I can not take car of my own last problem.

I am loosing this weight, I will get in better shape, and I will never face this battle again in my life.
