Wow, the thread has been nice and busy this week, I love it! It's like the old days, sort of.
Thank you all for your thoughts and sympathy yesterday. It's great to have such a variety of ladies on here--it's good to know that I'm not unusual. I'm not sure why I'm struggling so much. I think it's maybe because he's with someone new and doesn't seem to care about me at all anymore. I still care SO deeply for him and it's hard to come to terms with that. I've been spending a lot of time crying, perhaps because I haven't really cried about it since I broke up with him. I'm better off without him and don't want to get back together but I still miss him sometimes.
To cope with things, I've been doing some online dating for the last couple of weeks. I've actually met three very nice guys and have plans to see each of them again. I've also been chatting online with a couple of very interesting guys. More than anything, it's a distraction which is what I need right now.
I can't wait for Belle to come back and post photos!!! I love the name Eva, don't you guys?
It's funny that Rina should mention about being all gung ho and then getting stuck in the mud because I've been thinking about the same things lately. I always try to figure out what was different about the first time that I did WW and was SO successful and why I haven't been as successful this time. I think it's because of the "honeymoon-ness" of the first time that you do it. It's not new to me anymore, I'm not learning anything new like I did before. So, I've been trying to think of some way to bring the excitement back into the relationship.
But I'm drawing a blank--do you guys have any suggestions?
Stacey--Don't worry about asking about babies/marriages. It's not a sensitive subject for me, since we've been broken up for so long. Your son is absolutely ADORABLE! So cute!
Ali--Congrats on settling on a date. I think it's great that it's so far away--like you said, the time will fly, plus you'll just have that much more time to plan and make calls and all the other stuff you have to accomplish to have a wedding.
And you're right--looking back, it's unbelievable how much we've all grown, changed, accomplished, isn't it? By the way, did you ever post a photo of your rock? I'd love to see it.
Kier--I think you'll like Leslie. She's a little bit perky for me, but if you can tolerate it, you'll probably really enjoy her. It really is good exercise and you'll definitely see a difference. Luckily, a lady from work and I are planning a MAJOR girls' night out next Friday, and I think it'll be exactly what I need. I can't wait!! That's very sad about your friend leaving, especially after being friends for so long.
Lori--Thanks so much for your thoughts on Aaron--it's such a relief to know that it's OK to be hurting even though it's been so long. Did you start running by doing the Couch to 5K pointers? I'm kind of thinking of starting to run and don't really know how to do it. I remember that for awhile, we had a running challenge and one of the gals on here was coaching. Were you part of that?
OK, ladies, I'm going to get a little bit more work done. See you later!!
