Carrie...I must say that I used to feel the same way with my OWN husband. I have had reasons of being fearful of his rejection - has happened many times before. We, humans, always have fear of rejection but we must stand strong and accept it so that we can move on. I'm not saying that you need to accept it and move along - I'm just saying that you shouldn't beat yourself up for what happened between you and Eric in the past. You keep saying that you are not the same person you were back then but when you talk down on yourself maybe that is what he is seeing...he is seeing that you still do not love yourself for who you are. It is difficult not knowing who we are when we feel so down on ourselves...this is how I was before I started my journey. I started my journey to weight loss b/c I knew that in order for me to get where I wanted I had to LOVE & ACCEPT myself. You cannot get anywhere in life without the love and care for yourself. SMILE! Look at yourself in the mirror and say "I LOVE MYSELF...I CAN DO THIS." It will honestly make you feel better. Try not to be so negative on yourself - read what you say to others and say it to yourself.

YOU ARE A GREAT PERSON! LOVE YOURSELF GIRLIE! WE LOVE YA!
