Being a proffessional "helper" doesn't mean I know how to help myself

- does that ring any bells to you? Do you recognize this in any way in your field of work? Or have you found ways to solve it?

I know exactly what you mean! I am a advanced-practice RN who literally spends her entire day talking to patients about health (healthy sleep, healthy diet, healthy self-image, etc.) and sometimes I actually feel a little fradulent when I go home and live differently...so I would love to hear how people reconcile this conflict (if it fact it is a problem beyond truus and me :)

I'm a Registered Dietitian who is at least 50# overweight and more times than I like to admit, am non-compliant w/my diabetic eating plan. Yes, I know where you are.

It's like I can help others puzzle their way through the forest, but I don't take time to inhale for myself and take the time to work the puzzle of "me" -- I always put it to one side to do later.

I want to be congruent in the practice of what I knnow, subscribe to, and teach.

I  want to be there for me.

I completely understand... It's why I joined this group.

I need to be honest to me.
