Carrie,
First I'd like to say that I'm so happy that you were able to get out of an abusive situation. It takes so much strength to be able to do something like that. Secondly, while I'm do not self sabotage I may have an idea as to why you're not currently involved in a relationship. Now I'm not a relationship expert by any means so if you totally disregard my opinion I have no issue with that.
My personal feelings on getting involved with someone is that it starts with confidence and self-assurance. When you don't have confidence in yourself it shows to other people. Men love confident women. I think instead of dwelling (if that's the proper word here) on not being in a relationship you should really just focus on improving yourself. Once you are in a place where you can love yourself I truly believe that the guys will be beating down your door.
Talking yourself out of workouts and eating poorly is not the way to go to lead a healthy lifestyle. You just have to remember that in exactly 1 year from now July 26th, 2011 is going to happen and you just have to make the decision if by that time you want to be a brand new you or if you still want to be making excuses and not being happy with your situation.
Good luck sweetie, and hopefully my advice can help you just a little bit along your journey. Please keep us updated about your progress.
