Part 2

First things first...-1.8 lbs today!  18 total.  :)

I've been thinking more about this topic and realized today that most people who hoard are hoarding projects, potential and possibilities.  They hoard books, knowledge and memories.  I can't help but wonder if they (and we who hoard weight) do so because deep down we do not believe that we, in ourselves, are enough?  We don't trust ourselves to be, well, ok and alright in this world.  We must have every source of knowledge at our fingertips because we are afraid.  Afraid that we can't answer a question.  Being unprepared would mean we would be vunerable, and do deal with that anxeity, well....let's just say we don't.

But what if the next time we are presented with a situation that is scary or makes us feel vulnerable, we own it?  We embrace it and hell, if we don't know the answer we simply say...I don't know.

We are so worried about what others think, but we must be comfortable in our own skin.  With our choices and with who we are. (I am actually sweating over over using the h-e-double hockeys sticks word up there.  Sorry kids!)

And frankly, what's the worst that could happen?  Will it matter, 5 minutes, 5 months or 5 years from now?  Probably not.  It's growth and it's gonna hurt peeps...sorry.  But we are the only ones who can change ourselves.


By the way, want to take a look at how you stack up...are you considered a hoarder?  Check out this scale.
