Thursday morning check-in
Good Morning Everyone! Hope you are having a Good day.
After posting here yesterday and cross posting part of the same post on the RNY board, I decided not to make the visit to my friend. I will just wait and see if she contacts me. I actually arrived home at a reasonable hour and enjoyed a quiet evening with DH. I did sleep more deeply last night and for a few more hours than the night before.
It was wonderful to see Dalton posting again yesterday!
Today is another hectic day at work. Tonight I will meet my adopted "family" for dinner at Ruby Tuesdays and then we will go to the school play of my "daughter", Katlyn. She is 9 years old and a real drama queen. I just love that child! (This family actually consists of my co-worker, her husband, daughter and another co-worker) We act as a real family around Katlyn's activities. It has really been nice for me, since I do not have any real children other than my furbabies.
I also have another adopted "daughter", Katie. She is 13 yrs old and I have celebrated events with her and her single mother (another co-worker) since she was 4 yrs old. We will have our "Christmas" Monday night. When I lost most of my weight, Katie actually started crying one evening when I saw her. I asked her why she was crying and she told me she was going to miss the big hugs I gave when I was bigger! I had to assure her that my hugs would still be big.
I did not realize how much a part of my life she had become, or me a part of her world until that day.
I am rambling now.....
Hope Everyone has a wonderful day!

Ramble away. What Katie said gave me a lump in my throat. I guess I am emotional today or something. I would probably cry at a Hallmark commercial now too. lol
Yesterday turned out to be a good day but it had a rough start. Today I look like a homeless person. I leave the house in the morning wearing my workout clothes. I take my work clothes with me. I finished up at the gym, showered and changed. I was at work for at least 1.5 hrs before I realized that the top I had on had a bleach splatter on it. Thank goodness I brought a blazer in case I got chilly. It does cover all the uglies. I guess this shirt will go into the trash or at least my painting clothes drawer. I really liked this top too. I have only worn it about 5 times. Rats!
My mother tells me that I am having anorexic thoughts. I am fixated on my goal weight. I am 4 lbs from it. I am wearing a size 6 so I am happy about that but I want to get to my goal weight. She thinks I am nuts. Well, it is only 4 lbs. It isn't like I want to lose 20lbs or anything. She went from telling me to slow down and not eat so much to telling me that I need to eat and that I work out too much. I feel like what I am doing is healthy. I think it is just such a change for her that she is over reacting. She at times has me second guessing myself. Then I will speak with DH or a friend who I can count on to tell me the truth. They think I am fine. Is any one else experiencing family members showing too much concern?

My body does not define who I am but I am trying to define my body. It gets easier with every pound I drop.
