I hope you write them a letter with this feedback. They should know that their employees do not instill a sense of confidence in people who are essentially putting their lives in the company's hands. When I went skydiving, they were very serious about it. I jumped solo and had to take a day long course before hand. Their seriousness, in my opinion, was critical to making sure people were safe and understood the importance of being safe. Good on you for getting it done. I think I'd like to try tandem at some point. It's interesting how the experience sparked the beginning of the lifestyle change for you. I'm working on being healthier myself. It's not always easy, but it's worth it. I would be so frustrated with your experience. I hope you write them a letter with this feedback.

I'm actually going to start back on the all natural course of eating I did several years ago (including removing processed starches, flours and foods). I'm just so happy that a local grain farmer will be selling his freshly milled flours at a farmers market soon! And you're right, it's all about changing your lifestyle. You've been a great inspiration too! @sizzlesays Thank you so much for the encouraging words!

Wow! I think it's great that you shared your thought process about fear holding you back and it makes perfect sense that while you're free falling to the ground you're thinking such things. Fear is really not as powerful as we let it be and once we figure that out? We're golden. It's like the schoolyard bully, when you figure out s/he's just as insecure and wanting to fit in as we do the power disappears. You're on the right path now that you've let that switch click on inside of you. Changing lifestyle habits is the key. And why not think about how your excellent cooking skills will come in handy? Because since you love to cook you can try out all sorts of healthy recipes! I know this has helped me. I honestly don't feel deprived and I'm in week 6 of no sugar or white flour/starches. There are so many options, it's just what you make of them that really counts. Sort of like life. :-) If you ever need an email buddy on your journey, you know I'm there for you.
