Fear

Fear can be a great motivator or it can be an incredible stumbling block. It can spur you on to make positive decisions or it can prevent you from moving at all. Those who say that they have no fear are neither honest nor worthy of trust In the end, it's not the absence of fear but rather how you confront it that makes a difference

 

In the past week I battled my fear of becoming completely obsessed with my scale by sending it on vacation to my therapist's office. I challenged my fear of Spring by writing about Thomas. I confronted my fear of change by making an appointment with a new primary care doctor. Yet, as hard as I have fought, I am still afraid.

 

I fear my meal plan and not being able to tell if/ when I am hungry. I fear memories that seem more vivid than before. I fear not being good enough, smart enough or strong enough to sort through it all. And above all else, I'm afraid of disappointing those around me when the figure out how afraid I really am.
