I dropped my dead weight this week. I was attached to my husband with chains and when he jumped in the icy water to try to get away from me and his life I followed. He pulled me down with him into the abyss and I was afraid and paniced because I didn't know what was happening. I kept looking at him and he would not return the look, he just kept looking down. I struggled against the weight trying frantically to pull him up with me, to take care of him and bring him back to the surface, but he was so much heavier I couldn't get him. As we continued the decent I realized that I would not be able to save both of us, so I cut the chains. There was such a relief when I didn't have him pulling me down anymore. For a moment I watched as he decended further into the darkness, but the I began to frantically swim to the surface. As the cool air hit my face I breathed in fresh air. I knew that I was being given a second chance to work towards everything I deserve. I knew that I would be able to move forward, while he is swallowed by the darkness and his selfishness. This has been a week of realizations for me and so I've dropped my dead weight. Good luck to all of us as we realize our worth and begin to drop the dead weight.

that was quite an analogy. and how true it is. if we let go, we won't go under with them. we have a chance to survive on our own. we deserve to give ourselves that opportunity. we are worth it.

I'm really happy for you! I've got the hacksaw, but I haven't cut through yet. Knowing it's possible will give me strength to keep moving the saw back and forth.

Good for you. I think it was a big step for me when I felt that I too had cut off the dead weight. It was big because he framed leaving me as him cutting me--his dead weight--off. I guess it can be true for both people, though it's still sad to think that I could make anyone feel that way.

I am glad for you. I hope to get there one day. Thank you.

That was really good. I don't think that I am quite there. After reading that, I really can't wait until I am.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
