I so understand about going for the laugh... and it IS funny... yet there is such a disconcerting truth to discovering that perhaps the real problem is that passion is missing. More uspetting to me than either my wieght or my health was the realization I made not long after starting this journey that I truly had somehow become lost to myself (if in fact I had ever really found me). Even though I thought I was truly happy, I had to acknowledge that no longer being in pain wasn't the same as living a fulfilled life. THEN I had to find the courage to live the fulfilled life I found I wanted... some days that's still easier said than done, LOL!
I really look forward to your continued insights as you move forward!
Well, thanks so much, Ramona! Truth be told, I think I was going for a laugh, but I was serious about having to find my passion. I use humor when I'm uncomfortable, can you tell?
LOL! That is SO funny... even though I know you didn't mean for it to be! I've so been there, too! We're not really taught to build our life on our 'passions'. It takes practice and, for me, it began with learning to say no to other stuff so I could create room enough for 'passion' or to even think and consider what my passions might be.
Some things that really helped me at this point:
* writing my 'DONE' manifesto (detailed on my page...scroll waayyy down, lol)... work on writing your own
* a simple exercise found here... http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypa ge_public_journal_individual.as p?blog_id=2232914
* and check out this... http://www.sparkpeople.c om/mypage_public_journal_indivi dual.asp?blog_id=2773542
You'll find that sweet spot! {{{{{{{{{{ HUGS }}}}}}}}}}} Ramona
