> That's great, Angela. I remember when you were posting about having trouble doing that. Congratulations on how well you're doing!Thank you Dinah. Yeah I feel pretty good about it too.

> I don't know that you're that weird. I have the same problem to a certain extent (except that I only enjoy them in retrospect). I know lots of people who have no history of mental health problems who have the same difficulty.interesting. I guess it's good to know I'm not alone.

> I'm guessing it's like the driving. As you do it, it becomes easier. If posting on Babble helps with that, or helps you feel more accountable, then I'm glad. I've got a thread on Health about weight loss, although my self discipline isn't as strong as it could be.I don't know how much posting here will help me, but I am gonna give it a try. I feel it's always good to have moral support..
Thanks Dinah.
