Annie, before the program I remember I used to look at my face in the mirror and feel such loathing for myself and feel that I was hideous. Then as I did the steps, that stopped. It really is biochemical, and it can be healed.

: Really liked the newsletter this
: week. I related to the no shame
: comment that we finally heal on
: this program. Thank you for
: thinking of me!!!! I really do
: have to let go of a lot of shame.
: Pictures are the worst for
: triggering a shame filled
: response. I do what I can. I'm
: just doing breakfast right now,
: which I love; but, I've noticed
: that I'm starting to get anxious
: about my weight - again - still.
: It seems difficult to get even a
: few pounds off; but, more than
: anything I want to heal my
: emotions about the way that I
: look, including my face. I look
: forward to some more healing when
: the time comes. As much as I need
: healing, I don't want to rush into
: moving up through the steps.
