Hi, Tommy. I was just reading your post and it seems to me that someone who is so down on himself, you've made some pretty amazing things. Just getting on this program is big, that and the fact you've decided to separate yourself from the negative people in your life says a lot about the person you are. Swimming laps? Amazing! Doing what you can? Amazing! My advice, share your experiences with your new lady, much better that giving the impression you're pushing her away.
Give yourself credit, man. I'm impressed.
New here, need some partners

Re: New here, need some partners
thank you for the kind words - thats something I need to work on as well - accepting positive feedback and integrating it within myself. I should be very impressed with myself too - battling back from multiple bouts of MRSA staph infection after the accident, still working full time through all of this, raising my kids to the best of my ability, exploring new relationships and paying my bills. Why would I even be worried that anything is wrong?!?!?? I still do...westlynne56 wrote:Hi, Tommy.

Tommy, you are so on the right track...
Re: New here, need some partners
Hi all, I just started the program Two days ago. And I already see a diffence, Maybe because before i Recieved the CD's i had already started going to the gym. That part was easy. Maybe because i thought i was going To die from Heart Palpatations. I just thought i needed to get in shape. How wrong i was! If any one has advice for beginners, please contact, Why Me

Hey Krys (as well as everyone else haha)
Thank you for your post, I'm new here as well and I can definetly see improvements all ready. I had this program for 4 months before I actually started it. You could kinda say I was in denial for a long time, lol, now I look back and wonder how I could have ignored it. I've been learning a lot more about myself, becoming aware, I don't have severe panic attacks. In fact the last panic attack I had was four years ago, I've only had two full ones in my life, but I do have panicky feelings, some are stronger than others, which in turn cause me to turn and run. And so I avoid, the things that I love the most, because they are uncomfortable. And I wasn't even aware of it, fully at least until I realized it one day that I had some "limitations". It was like a giant lightbulb went off, or a phone book hit me lol, and don't you know I picked up the program so fast after that I said No More Running. Haha Although I'm still a little nervous about doing my limitations, I'm getting better. Repetition and consistency does work and positive reinforcement. When I got done with session one and realized that my fears weren't real, that was huge.
