What? I want to gain a pound???

Right out of the gate, I apologize for the shameless title to draw in readers.

So I have come to the realization that maybe I am carrying around more than just the 100 pounds of body fat -- that I am committed to loosing. I have had this thought on occasion, in the back of my mind, that some day I should just sit down and confront the pounds of emotional stuff that got me here. In a non-concious way I think that I have started shedding these emotional pounds, but not really spending focused time on confronting what really got me here.

That brings me to the pound I would like to gain - a pound of courage and insight to explore what got me here and how I can avoid following this path again.

Don't get me wrong, there is alot of good about where I am and I certainly have no regrets and would not trade my life for anything - but maybe taking a look at the path I have travelled can set me off on the high road.

Next time I weigh in I hope to gain a pound of courage!
