I think you've proved over and over what a strong person you are - and this direct confrontation of the things that might be stopping you complete your goals I'm sure will help you re-focus your efforts. You can only change you - a concept I struggle with! Have a good weekend.<BR/>Peridot xPeridothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325992771558910173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833371807591724259.post-17978638363220236772007-07-19T23:58:00.000+01:002007-07-19T23:58:00.000+01:00Dear LesleyWell, I miss you for three days and wha...Dear Lesley<BR/><BR/>Well, I miss you for three days and wham! Your three latest posts all struck a chord with me (we're so close and nearly there) and I think it's fantastic that you articulated what is going on for you right now. I bet you felt a bit more in charge....<BR/><BR/>You identified the pattern - finishing before you've finished - make sure this is the ONE AND ONLY time you need to go all the way. After all, just look at how much you have achieved (from your list). Tick, tick, tick!!!<BR/><BR/>If it's any consolation, my husband and I had a huge row last night and some of your thoughts, bizarrely, were almost word for word what I said to my husband! I am going to post about it but must be respectful of hubby's situation/identity/etc. I don't think it will be an easy post to write so I want to thank you for being so honest and sharing (sorry, that sounds so cheesy but you know what I mean!).<BR/><BR/>Big kiss. <BR/><BR/>Mrs L xxxxxxxxxMrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16370098608400834742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833371807591724259.post-57095063001136871922007-07-19T19:31:00.000+01:002007-07-19T19:31:00.000+01:00It's great that you feel able to 'talk' on the blo...It's great that you feel able to 'talk' on the blog. It's there now and will you much cause for thought. I really hope you deal with any remaining isues with D before burning all your bridges and moving to France. A bold move, and not one to do lightly.<BR/><BR/>Do you truly believe that D is holding you to task over your weight? Can he be so shallow? At my highest I was 51/2 stone heavier than when we met but John has never used that against me. He probably worries more about the fact that he's with a 51 yr-old now rather than a 17 yr-old...lol<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on the navel-gazing, Lesley. I hope you resolve some of your issues very quickly. And it's worth sticking with the Programme. You'll be so happy you did six months down the line when it's all a distant memory.<BR/><BR/>Hugs, Chris xchrismarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10080016732509371787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833371807591724259.post-76522362238325965402007-07-19T14:59:00.000+01:002007-07-19T14:59:00.000+01:00I think there's a bit of these fears in all of us....I think there's a bit of these fears in all of us. I love Dan to bits but some aspects of his personality drive me up the wall. I know I can't change him.<BR/><BR/>I am really not about to use this as an excuse BUT preparing meals for Dan has provided me with teh opportunity to pick. Last night is a case in point. I made a very yummy spaghetti bolgnese. I know it was yummy because I tasted it, and tasted it, and hd just a little pinch more. Sometimes I fool myself into thinking it I don't have a fork or spoon, it doesn't count. The preparation of his meals has come about recently because his waistline is noticably increasing - and in order to be eligible for NHS fertility treatment we BOTH have to be under BMI 30. He's not and he's not doing anything about it independently. Which leaves me trying to manage his calorie intake while I'm also managing my own.<BR/><BR/>As much as I love him, looking after him can be a bit like looking after a child. I also think this won't change anytime soon.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure this is a bit different to your issues with D but I thought I'd let you know that the ideas struck a chord...Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03503939114440277312noreply@blogger.com
