Yesterday MBFF and I had a HUGE blowout - online - lol. She made a remark and I just lost it. Her mother controls her every move (she goes to therapy for this), but it is clear to me that MBFF tries to transfer that same relationship onto us, meaning she tries to be the controlling one with me. Then she uses stupid excuses like, “I just want better for you than I have.” What?? I get that she is unhappy and doesn’t want me to be unhappy, but I am sick of her making me feel bad and guilting me into things. I can’t go into everything going on in her life, even though you guys don’t “know” her, I still don’t feel it is anonymous enough. But if you knew, ha, how hilarious this all was … what a hypocrite she is … it’s just crazy. I am done. I have had enough. I will not listen to her crap anymore, I will not allow her to make me feel bad. I can’t live to please her. I shouldn’t lose the joy in things because in the back of my mind I know MBFF doesn’t approve. I don’t even feel that way about my own mother!! And I think she is dead wrong … five years after my divorce she STILL gives me shit about allowing my older son to have a relationship with XH’s family! They have been his family since he was 20 months old, they have ALWAYS treated him like their own flesh and blood, do you know how damaging it would be to DS for me to cut all ties because of what XH did? I am not going to ‘get revenge’ on XH by hurting my own son! It’s ridiculous. She can make her own decisions regarding her kids, she can’t make mine. Anyway, this is not what the blow out was about, but just an example of what I go through. So now, everyyyyyyy time DS visits XH’s family, she STILL gets pissy about it. Get over it. She has so much - SO MUCH - going on in her life that she needs to focus on, it is like she fixates on mine to avoid hers, does that make sense?
It felt good to say what I had to say, though I am still a little hurt by some of the other things she said. Moving on.
Kickboxing draggggggggged on last night. Probably part mental, knowing that this is the last exercising until Sunday, and being that I worked out so many days in a row, etc. Well it wasn’t THAT many, but still, lol. Anyway, I did it. Sweated. Food was okay yesterday. During the day it was great, but late at night I got the munchies and had 3 wheat thins, 5 cocoa roast almonds, 4 or 5 mini pretzels, and a packet of Toaster Strudel icing, lol! It was just a few small snacky things that I didn’t need. WI today was 150 even again. Even with the snacks, I was at 1300 calories for the day, which is where I have been pretty much all week. Let me tell you, it SUCKS to eat 1200-1300 calories a day, workout each day, and still not lose weight. Grrr. But I definitely do look better, clothes are fitting better again.
Today’s Food:
Goal today is to have a good time, eat some of what I want without going crazy. Tomorrow, too.
Excited about shopping day with mom tomorrow!!!!!!

It is not MBF place to judge you or your actions…..she is a friend, and should act like one. A friend doesn’t judge. Obviously, she spends a great deal of her time judging you and your life. Is she so unhappy with her life, she needs to dictate yours? maybe you should ask her that….LOL
have fun tonight…it sounds like you are ready to put the diet and exercise thing on the back burner for the night and just enjoy. I think you need that now and then…ya know…the balance thing?

Sorry about the blowout w/ mbff. Sounds like she’d rather judge your life rather than focus on improving hers. I hope you let her know that it isn’t acceptable.
Have a wonderful weekend with R and your mom!

That’s too bad you had a blow up, but if her words were poisinging your life, then it was past time it happened.
It’s always easier to fix someone else life rather than your own. Why do you think I comment so much?
Means I don’t have to look at MY life!

LMAO at LT, so true for me! Does sound like friend has some issues with control and judgement. Bummer. I had a “friend” once who was a “great” friend to me as long as I was (in her judgement) worse off than she was…whether it was relationship, $, job, whatever. ? Crazy. Whenever things were going more smoothly for me than her, then there was trouble in our friendship. ?
Whatever. I agree with LT, if it’s poison…aspirate it or cut it out…

You are doing so well with keeping up your work-outs during stressful times in your relationships. …then again, it makes sense that you would! considering your focus right now in life is “Kelly”.
I think my focus is beginning to split. That may be part of my issue at the moment.
Haha..
Nice work on understanding your MBFF’s issues and how she comes at you. That’s can be a hard one to grasp, but you nailed it.

Oh my LOL at Linda!! I have had similar experiences as Kota. It hurts like heck at the time but a blessing in the long run to limit or end contact.
Of course, i am not telling you what to do and will simply love you no matter what. *grins*
