I have my days when I am so positive I can do this. But to be honest that is not where I am right now. So I stepped away from Sparkpeople because well I really am asking myself how can you encourage others when you cant even encourage yourself? Well I personally think that is why I can. Because I am not alone with these feelings. Not all of us have a support person and have to rely on ourselves. So this is me.
