Recovery Homework #4
The question you are working with is this:
"What are you WILLING to change?"
My list: I have spent a week trying to answer this question to myself. I have looked at my list of things that I need Courage to change. From that list, I am willing to change my job to a better one. I am willing to change my house by rearranging and redecorating. I am willing to work on my co-dependency issues.

This homewrok thing is just not a nice thing to do to a freind... hmmmpfff...
I am willing to change myself. My weight issues, my self esteem issues. I am working hard every day to accept myself and like myself. It is hard, but I am getting there.

Can you expand a little on this? How can you change your self-esteem issues so that you feel better? Pick one or two things to start with.

You know.. I did the homework, now the teacher wants me to show my work... not enough I gave an answer, I have to show where it came from...lol j/k.
Since I have moved away from a lot of my family, I have been beginning to see that I am not so bad. That my issues are stemmed from how they thought of me. I am always very hard on myself, so I am working on being able to lighten up on myself. I am trying to work on how I see myself.

This is something I constantly struggle with myself.
I have no will power most of the time.
At times I seem to have an abundance but it's like I short myself out or something...like now. I want to change my eating and nutritional habits - to avoid loads of health problems and to be healthier over all - yet I have no will power. I also want to lose some weight...yet I just can't seem to change the things I need to to make it happen.

Thanks. Yeah I've known about it for a while. It seems that certain times (like now) it's a lot worse.

Once again, things have changed a bit. I am having to revisit this issue about willingness to change. I think I am slowly becoming more willing to make bigger changes.

It sounds like you are becoming aware of the will power problem in your life. Each time you catch yourself facing this.......stop, breathe, think, then act. If you mess up, do not beat yourself up over it. Just start again. Try again. But do not give up. You can do this.
