Hi Kim.b,

Hugs to you love, I feel for you. Thank you for sharing how you feel, a lot of what you wrote I feel too. I know what you mean about being embarrassed, I am the same. I know it's crazy, but I'm embarrassed that I can't do what everyone else around me can (well that's how it feels). I bought "Swimming Upstream" and I can highly recommend it - it may help you too. I haven't read much, but what I have read is great!! I'm also isolating myself from friends & family, I just feel like everyone is thinking poor me too. I know I'm thinking poor me most of the time! I'm sorry you feel so bad, and I wish there was something I could do to help. Please try to find some comfort in the fact that you are working towards your goal - I know it's hard, but we have to try!

I'm sorry I can't write more, I have to run out the door for the weekend, but I will write on Monday. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and will chat more later.

Try to keep your chin up, and I'll try to keep mine up too!
