But most importantly, I am thrilled to see that you might now be able to take pleasure in your successes! yes they are down to your work, and your planning and your smarts. awesome!

And just to confirm – yes people often do respond to choices seen as particualrly political or ethical in a very very defensive way. I too an vegetarian – but have been for so long that i don’t even register when people find it weird. however, have often found that people respond very weirdly around our choices about how much media we have in our lives and with our kid. Why should my decision about that make people start getting defensive or attacking about what media they show their kid? stoopid.

so yeah, take these revelations and run with them, and pat yourself on the back. And while I’m here – 5 year plans? really? i have never done anything like that. No wonder you are doing so well

YAY!

(Also getting back into the healthy habit after giving myself a month off. And that junk food I thought I was craving? Did not actually taste as good as the taste of VICTORY! :))
