I have come to realize that one of the reasons I have gained so much weight in my life is that I have a higher level of consciousness (i.e. a humongous guilt complex). I feel guilty about things I shouldn’t even worry about!

It’s part of who I am (as one who cares too much), but still… I find myself wanting for the days when something can happen around me and I feel flippant or unobservant. Instead I want to fix things. I want to control things and get everything to go in the manner I feel most relevant to my life.

I’m learning to be an advocate of “No Guilt and Move On” or more popularly known as NGAMO. Because let’s face it… how many of us walk around with this big cloud of guilt on our shoulders? How many of us put our hands to mouth everytime an emotion hits (good or bad).

My hand is always to mouth because in my world there is always something to feel deeply about. I love the passion but I really dislike the reaction.
