I’ve asked myself the same question many times. I’m glad I saw this forum, because these answers have helped me see the issue of changing in a different light.

I think it’s all a matter of mentality. That’s the conclusion I’ve come to, at least for myself. I have some of the same issues that you do. I’ve been a negative thinker for as long as I can remember. The mind really is a powerful thing…I’ve gone back and forth many times battling the negativity with positive thinking. It’s normally only a day or so before something pisses me off and I’m back to my old ways. But I am bound and determined to never go back this time 🙂 we can do it!!!!!
