The Obesity Thing

Maybe so. But then I've been on quite the journey of self-discovery. I'm not sure I'd have so readily recognised my level of responsibility ten years ago. Back then I just felt helpless. I knew what I needed to do...and yet I didn't really know how to access those skills and apply it to my own life. How to establish positive, useful patterns. Saying shit is easy. Doing it and living it isn't easy, else we'd all be happy little fuckers with no problems. I'd blame anybody but myself back then. Why? because it;s hard enough being unhappy, without having to bear the responsibility for your unhappiness as well. It's a heavy weight if you dn;t feel like you'll ever get from under it. Easier to find external problems. Much easier.
