Earthmother is awakening


I have been with Spark People for two years, with no noticeable results. This is not the fault of Spark People, but my lack of ability to believe. I will not quit. I will get this right. As a diabetic, my health depends on a good outcome. Help me to believe!!!

    Hi Sharon
    There is absolutely no need to hang your head in shame. At different times in life, different issues take priority. I'll keep thinking of you, and I wish you all the best. You are living a rich life, whether you are at the weight you want to be or not. Sometimes it is really important to hold on to the big picture, and not sweat the details. The time will come when you can tackle them once again, if you want to.
    Hugs,
    Deirdre
