My ugly truth...

So, I'm challenging myself to be more open with everything.
Mostly for my sanity and for help in getting to the bottom of my whole "weight" issue.
I am a introvert personality.
I don't concern myself with other people's lives.
I like to mind my own business and take care of my own little family.
You won't really find me doing what everyone else is doing.
I stay with what makes me feel comfortable.
Most of the time, this is a good thing.
I fly under the radar, I don't rock any boats.
I just do me.
The problem with being this way is this.
At times when I most likely should be seeking help,
or at the very least a friend to talk to, I keep it inside.
I write it down in my journal and I try to solve the problem on my own.
Can you see where this could run me into a wall?
Trouble is, the only opinion I'm getting is my own.
Helps me look at things from all kinds of angles, which is good for problem solving,
but still...it's just me.
And let's face it, I'm not the smartest apple in the tree.
I'm smart, but there are people that are smarter than me.
People who've been in my shoes and know what definitely does not work and options for what may work as well as what has worked for them.
Not saying it'll work for me, but still, a different point of view.
Can't really get that if I'm not sharing.
With absolutely no one. 
Sometimes it's so bad my own hubby has no idea.
I pray about a lot of things.
Mostly it's, "please Lord, help me know what to do."

On the real, a majority of the time my answer is seek so and so for help.
My reply is, "no thanks, I got it."
Then I wonder why I'm seeking solace in a pint of ice cream.
Story of my life. :/
