There are so many things they can't possibly understand - is there an IF support group in your area? It really is lovely to speak out loud to people about this stuff, even if your IRL friends know, they aren't obsessing over details, they can't understand the endless b/w and shots, the worry about what they consider inconsequential things. I really wish I had more IRL support, but I'm super grateful for the internets!<br /><br />And congrats on maintaining weight! Time to break that plateau. Funny story, last night my neighbor (tiny thing) was over and we were talking about how we wished we were the weight on our driver's license (mine is 150 and I'm right at 200) - she is EIGHT pounds over! She totally didn't understand why I was laughing at her - nice that she is so close to her goal!musicmakermommahttp://musicmakermomma.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837229551123519902.post-40030532016366867762010-05-06T09:54:35.149-05:002010-05-06T09:54:35.149-05:00I'm sorry you had such a bad day.

Hope today will be better.<br /><br />I think that just the fact that you see these incidents (the poor child) and take it to your heart, indicates that you will be far from such a mother! You are loving and caring and your child will be very happy and proud to have you as his/her mother.<br /><br />And as for your friends - like battynurse, I too think it's legit to feel right now that you want some timeout. It does not make you any less a friend, it is just that now you need to be alone with yourself and not with them.Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344488411103420236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837229551123519902.post-52233719810661347982010-05-06T00:26:55.988-05:002010-05-06T00:26:55.988-05:00Sorry it was such a crappy day.

If needed you could always just say "hey, I love you but I'm just feeling a bit fragile right now and need some space, it's not personal." Hang in there. Hugs to you.battynursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240029154165501340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837229551123519902.post-37113470714624369812010-05-05T20:49:55.564-05:002010-05-05T20:49:55.564-05:00I totally get not wanting to explain or communicat...I totally get not wanting to explain or communicate with your BFF right now. That made sense to me in a strange kinf of way. Sometimes it's easier to isolate and sometimes you have to take care of number one. They will understand, that's what lifelong friends do. Just try not to shut them out completely because your going to want them there again, one day, even if not right now.<br /><br />Congrats on maintaining your weight loss. I have been stuck too for a while and tonight I cheated and ate tortilla chips and salsa for Cinco De Mayo. What I really wanted was a Margaritta, but I settled for the chips seeing how I'm in the TWW.<br /><br />I like your challenge, I just might have to join you. <br /><br />xoxoxoxoxKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16022175407912153277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837229551123519902.post-54843410959707287572010-05-05T18:43:55.748-05:002010-05-05T18:43:55.748-05:00Paige, you ARE going to be a fantastic, sweet, kin...Paige, you ARE going to be a fantastic, sweet, kind and loving mother. You are already demonstrating those qualities by doing everything you can to keep that little girl safe. <br /><br />Please don't beat yourself up too much by taking time out for yourself. We all have those moments when we retreat and take time to heal ourselves. Your friends love and want the best for you--and I'm sure will understand. <br />Exercise is a great idea. Do you like music? When I feel like that, I force myself to listen to happy, upbeat music. (Even though all I want to listen to is sad, mellow music!) It does help. <br /><br />Here's to happier day tomorrow-hopefulcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127623571343772293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837229551123519902.post-13250797501973694822010-05-05T18:42:50.551-05:002010-05-05T18:42:50.551-05:00I'm proud of you for maintaining the weight Pa...I'm proud of you for maintaining the weight Paige!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212527264716019421noreply@blogger.com
