I am amazed daily at your talent and love and ability to be incredible. Someone like that will find a way to make herself whole and happy again, I just know it.<BR/><BR/>You though that meeting was geared to you, well you could have been writing this post about me. I have let myself decline to the point I am recognizable. And you helped me see that I need to change, no onw is going to do it for me. So thank you for being so brave and wonderful and airing out all your concerns on the Internets because you have helped someone who needed to hear she is not the only one who feels this way all the time.

Can I? :) <BR/><BR/>I really hope you are feeling a little better by now, and that the act of writing it out and sharing helped. You're very brave for writing this post, and I admire you lots. In fact, I admire you lots anyway. Great kid, great husband, beautiful flowers and designs everywhere, talent... you' as the kids say, have got it goin' on. You'll get through this funk and feel even better about yourself afterwards! Let me know if there's anything I can do for you even though I am in AZ. Want a scorpion encased in lucite? Or a kokopelli figurine? We got lots of that kinda stuff! :)Lisa Armsweathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818438226434601465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15222220.post-5324332866669765722008-08-02T11:37:00.000-04:002008-08-02T11:37:00.000-04:00I have been thinking of this too.Plus, I totally l...I have been thinking of this too.<BR/><BR/>Plus, I totally love the disclaimer to your mom.

I also think your plan is quite in tune with the dvds I mailed you the other day! so... help is on the way!<BR/><BR/>Also, I hear alot of myself in this, mostly in that I have started correcting myself when I hear me thinking "Just let me get through the day so I can rest up for the next one." I've really had to remind myself, of late, that life is what's lived in the here and now- here in the trenches. Life doesn't start when we "get through this" or that. Life is not what starts after you make it through the hard stuff. <BR/>Life. Is.

I got to a point today where I needed to get it out. I knew that posting about it would help and that I could get some honest feedback from all of you wonderful people. I also had a feeling that I wasn't the only one out there that felt this way. Hearing from you ladies makes me feel that much more normal and supported.

I was pretty down in the dumps, to the point where suicide was sounding pretty great (This is the first time I ever admit this). I now know that, suicide would have not been the answer to anything. <BR/><BR/>I <A HREF="http://siliconealley.blogspot.com/2008/03/not-good-day.html" REL="nofollow">understand</A> your pain of not giving a shit about yourself. I have also gained weight since I stopped caring about myself. I'm not happy about that but for some reason I thought that I didn't deserve to be pretty, healthy, happy. So I hide with food, pain, and self pity. <BR/><BR/>Stick with your diet plan, buy a new outfit that you would love to fit in, put up reminder all over your house about how fabulous you are, cry when you have to, remember to laugh at yourself and don't forget to have fun with your life!!!! <BR/><BR/>You deserve to be happy!!!Silicone Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354169412482754397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15222220.post-17108994967977670102008-08-01T13:29:00.000-04:002008-08-01T13:29:00.000-04:00have you thought about a break-up.

I could start by buying myself some new clothes—I HATE shopping for myself because I never like anything I try on. I could use a haircut. I need to start exercising. I need to start watching what sort of crap I'm eating ALL THE TIME. Less caffeine and more water. More sex (sorry Mom). More activities that utilize my creativity and talents.</B><BR/><BR/>Im sorry? Did you just read my mind? This morning I started in earnest on my plan towards a new, <I>happier</I> me. Part of that is a new weight loss drug I started this morning, part of it is the new exercises every day, and a HUGE part of it is taking time for me, and taking time for me AND my husband.Bluepaintredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049030161558766505noreply@blogger.com
