@Dee74:
Oh, yes, I made several lifestyle changes. I worked out a LOT, making sure I was good and exhausted before evening, when the temptation to go out with friends was strongest. Nice Sgt. Floyd Pepper icon, by the way. MUPPETS!!!
It's good to be here, and thanks for the words of welcome.
@Intention:
Trust me, I have heard this line of reasoning before, and I don't entirely disagree with it. I just like to say what is on my heart, and the only way I can come to accept something I don't entirely jive with is by talking it out. I believe in learning to let God guide my choices, ultimately, so that is, in essence, living as if I am powerless.
Either way, I am not doing so well with it right now, clearly. I have to get myself back on the right track!
Best to you,
Safira
