53 minutes and I talked more than I ever have

we connected and worked through some barriers

I realized this and thought about that and then considered all points in between

I am in control of my destiny, come hell or high water, it's my decision to move forward and
let go of the past...

not everything was solved , but I crossed the rough current and rocky shoals to a calmer river beyond the horizon

I was in control and my therapist let me lead the way...even when I stopped she pushed me to keep going...all 289 lbs of me....god I need to lose weight

there are no easy answers, but if you allow yourself to stop the self-loathing and "woe is me" mentality you can conquer any challenge

she told me: "your finally working and making progress, I think we need to do this again next week"

I didnt argue...It felt good to be complimented

so what if the tears flowed...they were good happy tears

let me enjoy the moment

peace
