Hi Michelle,
I'm so sorry I missed this post yesterday! I feel your pain. I've been there! I recently went through just what Fluffy went through too. I've learned more than I wanted to about friends/family that WANTED me to fail to make themselves feel better.
We just need to get you through the first week, honey! ANYTHING we can do to help, you know we are here! I'll be home in 2 weeks and I'll be happy to come over and NAG you to death if you'd like!
I decided to just quit listening to the people and commit to MF for a month. Was it hard? YUP. Did it suck? Yes, but after 2-3 weeks I realized exactly how much of my weight loss problem is emotional. Realizing I'm serious, the family and friends are on board "until I gain it back" like they told me I would (of course). Well, I didn't have to make a deal with myself this month. I PROMISE it gets easier if you can just get through the first 3-4 days. It's all mental and emotional, we can get you through this!
I agree that you need to decline to spend some meals with your mom. I believe she doesn't want the attention pulled from her. She thinks it gives her power and you don't need that right now!
I'm with BZ, I'm making a voodoo doll of your ex right now!
It's fine that you're using this as your journal, we just want you healthy and happy! We make good cheerleaders AND drill sargeants, whichever you need!
I've been there, I'm mostly still there. I just won't listen to THEM. THEIR plan doesn't work for ME...this does. When you've decided you've just HAD it, you will work the plan and the plan will work for you!
I hope you're doing better and I'm SO proud of you for not waiting until Monday!
PM me ANYTIME!
