You know that old game…. but did you realize we play it here on buddyslim almost every day?  It’s true, but instead of sharing a peek at our …well you know, we play the grown up version.  We share a peek at our most private thoughts.  Our fears, doubts, hopes, lies and secret desires. And like the children we once were, we are reassured to find that everyone else has, more or less, the same ’stuff’ we do.  I can’t even begin to guess why we’re this way;  but just knowing that someone else binges, cheats, lies, dreams the same dreams and cries the same tears, is a tremendous comfort. When one of us reaches a goal we all share in the joy and when someone is in a low place and needs support, the response is amazing. I’m motivated every time I see a buddy make progress.  I believe that one of the best ways to lift yourself out of the ‘blahs’ is to  someone else a hand up.  Knowing all that, why do I blog so seldom?  I will spend literally hours reading buddy’s posts and comments, without posting or commenting.  I’m like an anonymous voyeur… spying quietly, thinking comments in my head, but not responding.  But once I start…….. look out!  Here I come, and I just can go on and on until I think you must all be sick of ‘listening’ to me.  I guess I’m the same way with a lot of things in my life.  Like housework.  It piles up until I can’t stand it, then I become obsessed with keeping everything just so.  (for a while, anyway)  Well, that’s about it, don’t know where this was supposed to go………  I don’t even know what it has to do with weight loss, but I hope it strikes a chord with someone.  Surely I’m not the only one that needs to know I’m not the only one with ’stuff’.
