Yes; you can have too much baggage. If your baggage is preventing you from entering into new relationships and managing to sustain them in a healthy way, then that's too much baggage.

But, what's also important is how you are dealing with your baggage. Do you even recognize that you have baggage? (You obviously do...) Do you understand your own role in maintaining your baggage? (Ditto.) Are you working to overcome your baggage and move forward in a healthy way? (Once again; you are doing this.) From previous posts, it sounds like you picked up a little more baggage over the last (very tough) year, so that might be a bit of a setback for you. But, once again, you are facing that.

Haz has already mentioned some of your positive traits that people here who read your posts see in you. I'll add that you are also very honest. But, it does seem that you are more honest with yourself about the negative things that you see in yourself than you are about your many positive characteristics... Just looking at your list here, I see that you put having had a gastric bypass in the negative column. I realize that this has some negative implications for how you have to eat and perhaps with respect to your physical appearance (e.g., loose skin after weight loss), but there are lots of positive things to say about that, too, no? You took a major step to get control of your health. And, it's a brave thing to do, too. Plus, it's helped you to lose a good deal of the weight you wanted/needed to lose. All those are positives...

The only question I have is, how do you combine sex and kayaking? There's not a lot of room in those things! And, Eskimo rolls have got to be really tough under those conditions.
