July/August Weight Loss Challenge

[Catrin]

137.6

This has GOT to be from fluid retention from my hot ride and strength training yesterday and sodium from the pizza Thursday night, I didn't eat THAT much pizza!

Well, it's been one HELLUVA week.

1. Boyfriend (whom I love very much...although I know he's not "in love" and wants to see what's "out there"...I'm trying to deal with it...) calls me to inform me that he received an email from a woman he slept with a month ago...she came up with an "infection".... devastation, needless to say.

2. Doc's appointments (obviously)--I'm clean from any "infections" but found out I have to have outpatient surgery...ovarian cyst/enlarged uterus...blah blah...

3. Tried to get my stupid cat neutered--he has a heart murmur and the vet can't do it. Must go to more expensive vet (of COURSE!) with the right equipment.

4. Girlfriend canceled plans to take me out to lunch on my birthday. I instead take my daughter out to a couple stores...end up getting a traffic ticket, ON MY BIRTHDAY, with a fine of $150.

There's more, but I won't bore anyone. However, doc's office scale said 219 lbs. I'll take it. For God's sake, I deserve it.

So...219 lbs. is my official weigh-in for the week.

Julie, am so sorry to read this and know how much this must hurt. You deserve far better...just had to say that.

I agree...as much as it hurts. There is no lightening that's going to strike him to make him love me. My brain knows this. Someday my heart might learn it, too...

Be kind to yourself. You deserve someone better. (Easier said than done, I know, but please!).

Oh Julie, I'm sorry you had such a bad week

Thanks so much, hon! Yes, you are right...I know it...I deserve someone better. I recently took out from the library the book "He's Just Not That Into You" and how amusing it was when my BF pulled it out of my bag and started looking at it. The curiosity killing him, he had to ask "I just have to wonder if this is about ME??!!" (REALLY?? Could it REALLY be regarding YOU??) Men. And this particular man has a PhD and is world-renowned in his field. I never thought he could be so stupid.

BUT...all that aside, life goes on. I just have to make a few choices about my own, and first priority is my health. I was delighted with the weight loss I had, and I intend to add to it!!

Love all you ladies!

Julie, as others have said, you deserve better. I know it's tough, but I hope you find the strength to walk away from this man. If you want a monogamous relationship, don't settle (or risk your health) for anything short of that.

And brains do not equate to emotional intelligence or integrity.
