Those problems cost me a relationship that I swore was the one I would do anything to hang onto.
Losing that relationship has cost me a great deal emotionally, but also been what it took to break the madness of my addictions.
I will never speak to her again as we have amicably decided that is what was best moving forward.
I'm am grieving the loss of a relationship I thought I couldn't afford to lose. And celebrating the victory of taking my own life and health back from a path of certain destruction.
The end.
Congrats on cleaning up your life how awesome is that!?!?!?
While it sucks to lose a relationship you thought was so wonderful and it's important to mourn such things as my grandma always said what is for you won't go by you. If it took losing that person to get your life together it sucks but it was what was needed to be done.
Yay for working on you....the next one you'll be in a good place and she won't go by

I am now so frustrated that I am willing to skip breakfast just to avoid the calorie and nutrient counting all together.
Also, it will be 83F today and I did not wear a bra or makeup.
Post a pic or didnt happen lol.0 -

I'm sorry about the loss of the relationship, but I think the way you are using that loss to face your issues and make some pretty huge changes is amazing. ❤1 -
I made a lousy mistake and I'm regretting so badly.
Don't worry, we all make mistakes, it is called life. It is okay to regret it, but don't beat yourself up over it. Use it as a chance to grow, so you are less likely to make the same or similar mistake in the future. Have a great day.0 -

If you really want a challenge, try drinking a beer in the shower. I must confess though, I haven't done that in many years. I still laugh when I think about having done that, though.0 -

Pregaming while getting ready to go out... nothing wrong with that.0 -
I confess I don't like pet names! I don't like to be told what you want to do with me! I am real I have a name and I am capable of having a real conversation! I don't need to see what you have in your pants! I live in a house with 4 boys I am sure I know what one looks like! Thanks rant over!4

No 55 is not the freedom year, at least for me. 56 wasn't freedom either. I am waiting for 62, not too far away to freedom1 -
I confess I have a deep fear that the people I care about will get tired of me so I push them away before they can get bored with me. I'm beginning to realize my overthinking has ruined a few potentially great things.8

ya sorry I'm 43. which means I'm still closer to 40 than 50....phew
and 40 is great. I know it seems like such a big number and milestone but since hitting my 40s I'm in as good a shape as I was in my 20s, I am confident and sure of myself and learn new things and ogle youngsters cause I can since I'm a cougar now so the youngsters (20 somethings) I think think it's funny since this old lady is friendly. but ya 40 is great
You rock 43 girl! Totally rock it!0 -
A couple weeks one summer, back when I was in school, I worked as a telemarketer. That's not the confession though. One guy started to *kitten* me out, so I told him that I hope he and his whole family would be brutally murdered and then I hung up. Oddly enough they didn't fire me. I quit the next day. That job sucks.0

Did you meet with the cashier at Target?
Probably so.
If so, you're in the clear.

My mom does the same thing when she comes over. I'll have a stack of stuff on my dining room table, and she thinks it's free reign to go thru it. I learned not to keep stuff out when she comes over.

I need to put this out there. I don't want pity or excuses. Because there aren't any. It just needs put out of my head.
I'm having a really hard time getting past some things that have been said to me by those that mean a lot to me.
I'll just throw them out here
"You're a failure as a wife,mother, nurse etc. "
"People at the gym talk about you. And not in a good way"
"Suck in your stomach. Why do you wear tight clothes?"
"Why is it taking you so long to lose the weight?"
"You're stupid/dumb/ignorant for thinking XYZ..."
Make no mistake, I'm not blind to how I gained weight or why I am where I am. Nor am I sitting here not doing anything about it. I work 50+ hours a week as a nurse, I'm a parent and I run a household. I do what I can do.
But *kitten* em.
End Rant.5 -

Welcome. Should I have phrased it in the form of a confession? Would your mom let you openly commit a felony? Against your own child no less. I confess.1 -

Same here
That's a silly thing to do.0 -
I confess, I give everyone respect and the benefit of the doubt, but deep down I understand most people focus on personal gain and self-preservation as driving forces for decisions and actions.4

I will be 53 in October... BUT had declared that I felt like I was 40 when I was 17... so emotionally I guess that makes me 87 going on 88 this year. They say if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life...which means I didn't start work until I was like 38... I don't plan to retire... I have seen retired folk... and.. no thanks... after all I have only been working for 14 years or so... what's another 20 give or take... Trying to live up to other people's expectations is a losing cause...only because the expectations of yourself are probably higher, and their own are probably lower. Shift workers have a harder time losing... and an easier time gaining simply because they are messing with their internal clock... eating before sleeping... not sleeping enough...I didn't start gaining until I started wandering around all night (the thing I did before I began working for a living).
ALL that matters is forgiveness... forgive the people you love... and YOU should be at the top of that list. hanging onto stuff... well that's just an anchor to the past and you can't change that... cut it lose and look forward...

Is this person perfect in every way? We all fail at some things some times. If you were a complete failure at all of these things you wouldn't be them anymore.
People at the gym CAN be jerks. Not all of them, but some. And anyone who shames someone else for working on themselves doesn't deserve one more thought.
Beauty is not defined by your outsides. Tell that person to suck in their words.
Slow and steady is the way to do it. Most people who lose super fast also rebound super fast. Trust me on this.
Can I slap this person or these people? Seriously? How is telling someone they are stupid going to help them in any way?
I don't blame you for having a hard time getting past these words because they are hurtful, BUT it doesn't mean that the people who say these things are right. Look into yourself to see where you have made mistakes and then work to fix them. Don't let someone else tell you your shortcomings because some people will never, ever be happy.
Good luck to you beautiful girl
1. Your value does not decrease based on another's inability to see your worth.
2. Your value is not based on anyone's opinions. Opinions are not facts.
3. You are NOT your mistakes. Mistakes are made, but you learn and you adapt and you better yourself. Don't let your mistakes define you.
4. YOU are worthy.
5. YOU are special and unique.
6. You are the only version of "you" to ever exist in the universe.
7. (this one might make you laugh) Out of millions of sperm YOU are the ONE that made it!
8. People are opinionated, self-centered, and too full of themselves. Do NOT let their garbage, negativity or hurtful words take away from who you KNOW you are.

Just because someone says something is true , doesn't make it so..
Tbh those people are failures at being kind, caring human beings.
Nobody is perfect ..nobody. I'll bet you they have plenty of their own faults foremost being judgmental and plain rude.
You are awesome as you are darlin. Not perfect but doing the best you can. So take heart girl next time they are putting you down ..that they are wrong..let their ugliness slide off you ..
Also..send me names and addresses ..I'll happily slap the ugly right out of them 7
