No I'm not, but I feel like I'm on the right track.
I've always thought the cure for my weight problem was diet and exercise. After much reflection and counseling (and several glasses of wine with my girlfriend), I'm learning that no diet and exercise program will work for me until I fix myself on the inside.
I've lost weight in the past. The reason it's never stayed off is because I've never addressed the issues that drive me to overeat (or drink or smoke or spend too much money). Bottom line: until I learn how to love myself, no amount of diet and exercise is going to keep the weight off.
If I love myself as is, flaws and all, I can stop my inner-critic from taking over and sabotaging my efforts at health. Nothing is going to make me love myself: no amount of weight loss, no outfit, no performance job, no redecorated room. God loves me today, as is, and He wants me to love myself.
I finally want to love myself, too.

Oh man, this is great "Champagne" ;-) (using your pen name for optimum anonymity...) You are wise and he does love you and that does give you the freedom (and reason) to love you too :-)
We'll be in your area this weekend... will you both be around? Would be fun to see y'all... even your pugs. :-)
