Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • I keep telling myself I’ll finally feel enough once I lose the weight, hit the goal, get the approval
  • I keep telling myself I’ll finally feel okay about myself once I hit the next thing
  • I keep waiting for someone else to fix my situation or change so things get better
