Merry christmas my friends!!!! I just wanted you all to know that i made it to 30 days without SI'ing. My mother is thrilled that this was the gift I have given her. 30 DAYS!!!!! One thing I want to mention to all of you who cope the same way i do, is this.....

when you are doing si, and the ones around you want a promise, dont do it. Its a promise that yes may get you through another day or minute without si'ing but the best promise you can give to them is to say I WILL TRY....trying is much easier less pressure on you, and you dont have the guilt of saying i did it when i promised I wouldnt. I tried to promise to my mom that I wouldnt si, but she said, and i quote, "honey, dont promise me that, thats a promise that will hurt you more if you DO si, just promise that you will try hard to NOT do it. thats the best promise in the world you can give me.

With that my friends, I wish us all a better 2008, and a great healthy, financially secure newyear. May we all make 30, 60, 90, and 367 days, without pressure, and without guilt.

Love to you all. Merry christmas. I am here all day if any of you need help. You have all helped me so much, more than you will ever know.

Love,
Colleen
