Of course!
Never gonna happen, quik! I was even talking about you this weekend, referring to you as "my friend who lives in Iowa". I also mentioned @pofoster21, in regards to her taking us horseback riding and on a tour of NYC.
IDAHO!!!! BTW, Idahoans really love it when people do that. LOL
CRAP!!!! I know it's Idaho, because we were talking about Boise. Darn it to heck! Darn it all to heck!

When I was a teenager, Bananarama style overalls/dungarees were in fashion. I would always dip one of the buckle/fastener things in the toilet. Usually post-pee.quiksylver296 wrote: »Gross/embarrassing confession: At least three times in the last week, the end of my belt has dropped into the toilet water. ARGH.

so that's the end of that.
after a solid month of seeing each other almost every. single. day. and him making the point to "be exclusive," dude decided that "i don't think that this is working for me."
i got about three hours of sleep last night, they weren't concurrent either. so apologies for the rambles.
first he said it was because *i* wanted too much commitment, to which i kindly reminded him that *he* was the one that wanted to be exclusive, then he just said that he wasn't sure if i was the *one* for him.
i do know that a lil more than a week ago, his ex-wife from six years ago reached out to him to try and rekindle things. he initially said he wasn't interested, maybe that changed?
or he simply just panicked and fled.
same end result.
i'd be lying if i said i wasn't devastated. and this is probably stupid of me too, but i really, honestly, thought he was the one for me. finally after all the horrors, and downright brutal treatment i endured both physically and emotionally...i thought it was actually my turn to be happy.
i'd also be lying if i said i wasn't furious with myself for allowing myself to get so involved and excited and be so foolish.
i should know better.
i do know better.
i think i'm just going to take a break from everything for a while.
my brain keeps flashing this lil image of a tiny hand setting a brick on a wall that's slowly being finished.
*ETA* can i also add how ridiculously embarrassed i am about all of this?
Want me to take him out for ya? I know a guy.
That sucks hard. I'm so sorry.
Aren't you a cop?!

Everyone, thank you all so much. Yes, I'm currently crouched down on the floor in my kitchen and crying over some of the heartfelt responses, but you guys are so amazing, and so appreciated.
The grief bacon is strong with this one (beverages and cigarettes and pasta with alfredo sauce), but that's better than the dark alternatives I thought of constantly last night. And I hate that, I hate that about myself. But I was just so stupidly happy, that sudden shock has been so overwhelming.
I haven't been crushed like this in a very long time. And I actually know when that time was. Spring 2002, I was in England and was told by the boy I was there for that he rekindled with an ex from years ago. I did a semester abroad just to be with him, and I spent the remainder my time there just randomly sobbing for no apparent reason.0 -
And now i'm kinda drunk and totally rambling. Sorry. But please know, you guys are awesome, and I really appreciate all the support, it's helping me in ways I can't even describe. Thank you all so much0

This all made me laugh out loud. I remember thinking "I'm pretty sure Mo means Idaho, but this could be funny when Quik sees it...."

Aw, @KylerJaye - I do understand all of that. It's horrible.. but grief bacon is much preferrable to any darker such thoughts. Stick with the alfredo sauce, for sure, and have some for me. Or save some for me. I think I can justify carb-loading for my very first couch-to-5K zombie training session today, right?
Hugs to you, for real. Know that we are all here pulling for you and cheering you on and quietly sending you strength & love & hope even when you are feeling shattered.0 -

Thanks to hubby, who finally listened and realized I had a problem, I think I'm going to get better. I'll take these side effects if it means I can be a better wife, mom, and everything else!
Glad things are looking up.

It's totally okay to be sad if you can fight the self-destructive stuff for the most part (although you have my permission to hit the grief bacon and the bottle for a couple days...just remember that the bad stuff will still be there when the booze is gone.) Watch some sad movies, listen to some sad music, wallow for a few days if you feel like you want to. I'm never ready to get past a breakup until I go through the whole relationship in my head and make a bunch of circular arguments with myself a few times, personally, so I can thoroughly exhaust the topic mentally and get sick of thinking of it. Then I'm ready to wash my hair, put on some pants, and bury myself in something productive, but a little time first is totally expected.
You're going to be okay. Great. Super great, even.

Yes! That's great that you're getting more stuff done. That has to be a step in the right direction.

I know a couple of you are recovering alcoholics. I figure if I can do nine days, I can go without completely. It was becoming a bit too much of a crutch. Plus, it was tons of empty calories, right?
I'm really trying to talk myself into continuing this streak, rather than diving into a margarita or three.
As you are already aware, "craving" is not a good sign.
Some people can drink vast amounts regularly and leave it alone whenever they choose. Others will get hooked without noticing that it's happening.
Be very wary of a chemical substance with addictive properties.0 -

Checking in, having a good day today, which makes for 5 good days in a row. Double bonus because I am at work today. I don't usually work Fridays, but am earning extra £££ for our holiday, so small sacrifice.
Had a lovely long walk along the river with @girldownsouth yesterday.
No plans for the weekend, beyond chilling out a bit, cooking a bit, swimming a bit, and chilling out a bit more. Which sounds wasteful of time off. But believe me it'll be such a welcome change from running round after a 2 year old every weekend.
I'm so glad you are doing okay/better.
I'm still jealous that you are able to walk with a fellow poster. Super jealous even!
Especially because it's me...
Yep, pretty sure it was!0 -

@Susieq_1994 good on the steps and on the no ice cream.0

Also, he bought an ice cream bar at the store we ended up in, and I didn't get one because I already commited in the Fitbit thread to sticking to my calories. It's a small win, but I'll take it.
Do you guys think the scale will be nice to me tomorrow if I regale it with tales of my fabulous will power?
Good job on the walk and resisting ice cream! I know you'll get the fitbit!
Honestly, I don't think I will. I've gained so much weight that, even if I don't mess up my calories even once from now until my birthday, it would still be unrealistic to hope for 65 kg. I currently weigh 73 kg, and that's nearly 10 kilos in two months. 0 -

Thanks, guys. I'm definitely pretty happy with the no ice cream bar--we did the same walk earlier this week and he bought an ice cream bar then, and I bought one that wasn't in my calories. So I feel like I've defeated the ice cream bar this time. 0 -

My brother's girlfriend told me she has never and will never stay with a pet when it is euthanized and... I confess... I lost a lot of respect for her. How you can have a pet for years, say you love it, then walk away right at the end is beyond me. Yes it's hard to stay, but I think if they could pick, they'd prefer to have their favorite person/people there with them.
Yea this and also when people get rid of pets when the animals are sick or old. That makes me so sad.
The ferret place I sponsor recently had someone bring in a couple of ferrets that had been listed on craigslist for free because the owner didn't want them anymore. One has adrenal gland disease so they just need some meds (their hair falls out). The people who take care of the ferrets hate that animals are treated like old merchandise and given away when the person no longer wants them. I agree.
I HATE when people get rid of their animals just for being old!!!! It seriously makes me so unbelievably angry!!! It's even worse when they replace the dog/cat with a new puppy/kitten! GRRRRRR!!!!!!!
Me too! Like seriously, who does that?? My sister has a dog right now that she recently adopted because the family it lived with does just that. The foster parent said they get a new puppy every 2-3 years and then just dump the old one. Does it not say something is seriously wrong with you if you do not bond with your pet at all? My Kyrie is a complete user kitty at this point and we only see her if she needs something, I still could not give her away, no matter what!!0
