Having fear of starting program

Just received the program, but have a problem in starting it, every time I think I can, I feel very anxious and it scares me of taking that next step. Can someone tell me if there is a way to take that step.

Eastside,

Close your eyes and jump! You have to work in spite of the anxiety, and it's not unusual to be more frightened when you start the program because you are turning around and facing your fears. Remember that your fear of the program can't hurt you. It's just a feeling. Baby steps...and keep reading the forums and see how much company you have.

I started the program in June and went through the whole thing, anxious most of the time. But the program gives us new coping skills, so you're not just left not knowing what to do. I tell you this so you know that people do get through it.

Go for it! You're worth it! And good luck to you.
