Need Support

[Dia Minha]

Not at all Mama. I didn't think of you or Erudite as being bossy. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed that it is really nice to just have someone tell me what to do, because I can't decide for myself.

Well Dia, here's the deal. My offer will remain on the table indefinitely. Plus, for the time being, I'm going to take things one step further.

And at the risk of sounding bold and unbending, please keep in mind that I live 20 steps (or less) from your house. So, for me and the girls to come over for the 15 minute laps between you needing to go to your class, and Fubeca getting home...is really no biggie, WHATSOEVER!

I'm going to call you every Thursday (that I am able), and just ask what your schedule looks like for the day. If you need help that day, I'll just expect you to say it, and I'll expect you to know that I would love to help you. If you don't need the help, that's fine.

But atleast you won't have to stress about whether or not you can make it each week and you won't have to make any phone calls (I know how much you LOVE making phone calls). heehee.

I'm not even going to ask you if this is okay. I'll just call you Thursday! Love ya!

(now I sound really bossy)

I'm sorry I haven't been on for a few days but I'm back! Dia, I understand that this week doesn't work great but I'll be waiting to hear from you for when we can just go someplace and you can drink water while you watch me eat some pie and we can just chat til we absolutely have to go home. Doesn't that sound better than being practical? Have fun w/ DH!

I had a whole message all typed up and lost it when trying to post it. So you are getting the short version.

I'm in Park City with Fubeca right now. He had some computer stuff to finish up. I was sitting here at a table with 8 computers. I can't be to close to one without checking in.

Dinner was very nice. The entertainment was fun. Now if I could get Fubeca away from his computer so we could go watch a movie the evening would be complete. I actually have the opportunity to stay the night, because his roommate is not here. Yeah, another couple night away and it has only been a month since the last one. I will have to leave pretty early to get home in time to get the kids off to their first day of school, but I think it will be worth it.

I'm going back to meetings next week. Any WW member will tell you that a WW meeting is just as important as an alcoholic's AA meeting. I think that is what it is going to take to get me back on track. It will be a really good time, because the kids will be in school and that is always a good time to start a new schedule.

Thanks for your support ladies. I couldn't do it without you. I let you know when I need to watch the kids or kidnap me.

I totally agree...

Also, I think I will put away my SCALES as well.

I just purchased another one cause I was CONVINCED the one I had was messed up

So now I step on both of them, on one then on to the next to compare.


Great advice here!

Stand on them both at the same time and claim the weight you like the best.
