Change begins from the inside out OR the outside in. I meet people who want to loose weight, but what's the purpose if your damaged emotionally or psychologically.  Why are people so afraid to let go of all that hurt! It binds them. It is almost like their proverbial safety blanket. Going to see a therapist is like going to the dentist it's painful but the end results are amazing. Don't be afraid to change. Embrace life.
