Hi everyone

I couldn't find a previous post on this topic recently, but my apologies if I am beating a dead horse. As the hubby and I embark on our new WOL, we are doing a lot of self-discovery. It is amazing for us, really! We have had the most awesome talks lately and for once are actually taking the time to focus on ourselves and what we need. One of the things we have been talking/thinking so much about is the fact that we are both extreme people pleasers, alays looking out for other's welfare and discarding our own needs. I think in a way, our eating was a small way (that became a BIG problem!!) to have control in our lives and I would be lying if I didn't say that we have identified the need the need to take care of ourselves first, but are dealing with some guilt pangs over it. For example, now we may schedule out time to actually cook ourselves a great LC meal or go for a walk instead of the usual catering to the needs of friends/family (and I am not talking major health needs or anything of that sort....just average run of the mill stuff). Anyhow, I was just curious how many of you all would consider yourselves people pleasers who have given up your own needs for those of others and how you right the ship so to speak. Thanks in advance!!!
