Thank you! Actually after I posted this I did tried to talk about it in counselling for a while, and it ended bringing up a LOT more than I thought. It turns out I buried the reason why it borthers me deeper than I though. I think I'm on the right road to dealing with this now, and I even think I am finally really to get in shape...but I am still cautious.
There is a lot I haven't dealed with in emotions and this will dig it out. And I don't know if I'm ready. My life has enough stress right now, to add this to it. I feel like to deal with it I need to take vacation or something, which I can't do right now. So I'm dealing with it in chunks, however much I can handle at a time...://
