I’m struggling with the homework for July. I don’t want to change anything about my past because I believe everything from my past created the person I am today. I had a lot of unpleasant events occur, but I never think about it and I don’t have any blame attached to it. It’s all part of the road I took to become who I am, and I like who I am. And I learned so much about what kind of parent I want to be and what kind of human I want to be. So the question about choosing one significant thing I want to change, I can’t think of anything.

I am doing the stop overeating program. I’m not upset with myself for gaining 100 pounds when I was pregnant because I have a lot of compassion for the person I was at the time and why I made the choices I did. I would love some direction on how to do this homework because I think it is valuable, I just don’t know how to apply it to myself when I’m someone who doesn’t live in the past.
