Avoiding panic attacks would be healthier, but then life would be boring, dontcha think? ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021412971457928634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695637518572363731.post-66643511756169994102012-12-28T14:07:31.718-05:002012-12-28T14:07:31.718-05:00I'm pretty good at avoidance myself.

That would be healthier, but somehow now easier.

It's funny how that can work. I like what you said "At least it keeps you from sliding back farther." Right now, I'll take what I can get! Good news is I WANT to change.... just a little completely freaking terrified of it! <br />Thanks for stopping by!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021412971457928634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695637518572363731.post-16107093158598054012012-12-27T11:46:48.738-05:002012-12-27T11:46:48.738-05:00Been there, done that.

I've seen the results of succumbing to "I'll do it when I'm ready" though. My M-I-L is a shattered heap of misery, always putting off the things that she really MUST to do because she's 'not ready.' I'm watching it kill her. She's letting it kill her, because it's easier than the work involved with change. She's my greatest motivation when I'm feeling down. I don't ever want to be that way!Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07533475322438942182noreply@blogger.com
