It's exhausting, and I find myself avoiding her....and that's so not good. This weekend is her birthday, and there's a few celebrations, and, in all truthfulness, I don't want to go to any of them, and am hoping that a photography gig will give me one excuse, then I can attend the Sunday night thing.<br /><br />Merci about the weight. I still have far to go. My original goal was a size 12, but now that I'm there, I'm revising it to size 10, and then I'll decide if I can do more at that point.<br /><br />Rebecca - I am for the most part secure...I have my moments, most of which relate to being single going on 4 years. And not really understanding why, however a male friend of mine said that perhaps it's because I don't really want it that much, so I find excuses to avoid it....guess I should look into that.<br /><br />Yeah. She needs to buck up. When people that don't know her as well as her friends do notice that she is horribly moody, it ain't pretty.myselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12342291703469735721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043225913413665538.post-45822697775290514732009-04-29T06:57:00.000-04:002009-04-29T06:57:00.000-04:00It sounds like you a secure and happy with yoursel...It sounds like you a secure and happy with yourself person, and that is awesome! Your friend should learn a lot from you. It's too bad she doesn't see how great she could be if she believed in herself. I wonder if there's anything we can do, or if people just have to wake up and want it for themselves? I lean toward the latter. And it is NOT selfish to want her to buck and be responsible for her own moods and happiness. Sounds like you've been a great friend to her.Rebecca Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122579580022107050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043225913413665538.post-7349127705823131612009-04-28T19:48:00.000-04:002009-04-28T19:48:00.000-04:00Do you and I have the SAME friend?? Good god, woma...Do you and I have the SAME friend?? Good god, woman, you just described my dilemma... same shit, different girl, and even if she's my friend there is nothing I can do until she decides to help herself first.<br /><br />I've been sympathetic for years but now that I've lifted myself from the slump that was my life, she cannot be happy for me and, quite the opposite, is trying to guilt me into apologizing for reaching out for my dream. <br /><br />WTF? friendship goes both ways, you know? Give and you shall receive kinda thing...<br /><br />OK I'm rambling, all this to say hold your guns, don't let anyone bring you down cuz that's not love, baby. <br /><br />Nobody loves a selfish angry person who does nothing to seek help or even want it.<br /><br />*steps off soapbox*<br /><br />PS: congratulations on the weight loss! wooo! vegas also lost about 120 lbs from when he was big and depressive... took many years of hard work but voilà: it can be done!Technodollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06651690556059895831noreply@blogger.com
