Journal Entry for April 30, 2009 Mood
Thursday, April 30, 2009
My scale was WAY off...I'm down nearly 2 pounds from my low weight....my battery was dying on the scale I found out...so it was weighing me heavy. So...this is exciting for me to have a scale that works right and to see I'm AM losing yet...that I'm not so far off track as I thought. I'm still sad from yesterday, but I know I'll be okay. I've got good supports who love me. I plan on talking to my treatment therapist about this loss of my friend though, explaining myself and allowing them to explain to me what on earth is going on...cuz logically I understand why it happened, but my heart hasn't caught up and I'm going through the stages of grief right now in that lost friendship and I'm scared to think that the friendship will ever resume. I'm scared. But, Carl has been a good support...so I'll be okay. Yesterday was really bad, and a couple of friends are really letting me lean on them right now too. But yeah, the scale was weighing me heavy due to a dying battery. I just figured it out yesterday and got some new ones!!! I'm not obsessed with the scale like I used to be, but its nice to weigh once in a while and see what's going on. My coffee pot went out on me. My friend has one I can try though, she's not sure how well it works cuz it was leaking at one time on her, so we'll see. Hopefully it'll work out for me though. Anyhow, I need to go be productive. We have a meeting at school today for Ethan's test results. Hopefully we can figure something out. Anyhow, I need to call my case manager...I'll be around.

    Glad that you are doing better today. Yesterday must have been the day for losing friends. I also lost a friend yesterday because of the gastric bypass surgery. She has become very distant and very jealous of my weight loss. She will have to come to terms with it. I will move on, much the same as you will have to. It is hard when friends don't understand. I figure maybe in time she will understand why I took this drastic step in my life. She is still very heavy and is having problems like I did before my surgery. She is seeing the healthy me now and it is bothering her tremendously. She keeps telling me I took the easy way out. So yesterday we parted ways for a while. I look at it as her losting a friend. I have other people who do understand what I am going through and it sounds like you do as well. Those are the friends I will cling to. Although it is hard to lose someone who has been a confident for such a long time, sometimes it is the best for both of you. I am so glad that carl has been there for you through this. I would be so lost without the support of my husband.

    Good luck with the teacher today. Those meetings can be a real pain sometimes but are so necessary. Good for you for taking an interest in Ethan enough to go and talk to his teacher.

    Got to get back to work. Take care my freind and I am here if you need to talk.
