The book Loving What Is, helped me learn to love myself

Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University helped Flint and me get on the same page financially discuss our money mistakes... air it out, design a game plan, pay off $20K, learn to be financial partners in this marriage and learn to live within our means.

And the HCG diet is helping me break my food issues...

I spent years in therapy and nothing has helped me the way these three things have. The secret is not in the specific plans I mention above, but in the support I had/ have during each.

My best friend gave me the book by Byron Katie, she had done the Work herself and I had the opportunity to watch her blossom while doing it, she was there to encourage me and help me see myself and situations I found myself in as they are… letting go of the story lines in my head that were the real source of my pain, anger, fear, frustration. Flint and I went through Dave Ramsey’s program together, you have support of other couples… you learn to live differently and have new goal and are supported by others who have been where you are and are headed in the same direction as you… to a debt free existence. 3 of my best friends are doing this diet with me… I don’t eat out … I can’t (which works just great for our budget). I bring my food with me in a little cooler everywhere I go. The most amazing thing is that I’m not only not hungry on this, I have no interest in food… I can cook it… I know it would taste good, but eating it doesn’t matter to me any more… holy crap what a change for me.

I guess what I’m saying is … it isn’t so important the road you take to where you want to be in life as much as the support you have on your journey.
