[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 144064, member: 805"] Fran, I'm glad you posted this. Being your own obstacle was definately an issue for me in many areas of my life. I have often said that I suffer from self-inflicted stress! I put high expectations on myself for things like keeping my house clean, following a schedule (Monday, grocery and laundry, Tues office and.....etc.). I could no more sit down and watch tv if my house was not picked up than I could cut off my own foot. I'm not talking anything like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) stuff, just basic "mother in my head" kinda stuff! When it comes to my weight issues, I was my own obstacle - or even worse my own barrier. Sometimes you can go around an obstacle. Excuses and justifications were part of it. I have finally made the connection with honesty. I expect my children to be honest and I try to live my life with honesty towards others. But I was not honest with myself for years. I try my best not to beat myself up for the time I wasted where I could have been fit and enjoyed my children and their activities more. But it is hard. I'm trying my best to look forward. Hopefully, with my continued healty lifestyle, I will be able to kick box that barrier out of my way for good! Sharon [/QUOTE]
