Ode to My Abusive Relationship
It's really getting my down...
Help me break free from my abusive relationship
I want to do it -all on my own
Oh- I've tried so many times...
But he just keeps drifting back into my life
Time after time,
Oh sure-things will be fine for a while
Then suddenly without warning
Everything has changed...
Leaving me depressed and angry
Angry with myself-for believing
Believing - that this time it would be different...
How can I be so dumb - so stupid - so much of a failure?
It must be true- I deserve whatever come my way....
If I only had not listened
To those sweet, sweet words encouraging me....
calling me...
"Come back, come back
It will be different - this time."
I told myself, "Be strong, don't be controlled",
and yet
I'm drawn back
As if under a trance, I can't resist and go back
I need the strength to stay away
Oh - such misery
When I'm away from home
I'm constantly thinking what will happen when I return
What will be said?
Will it be loving or hateful?
I'm so confused...
Those smooth sweet words
I'm weak
I'm drawn back once again....for my heart to be crushed-
Back
Back to that miserable, stinking, rotten, deceptive
BATHROOM SCALE!
And that is only the 15th time today that I weighed myself
And still, it isn't gettng any better!
Perhaps tomorrow
I will conquer!
I hope you will join our other members in congratulating our outstanding member JEllen (Judy) JEllenator!
UPDATE!! Our JEllen posted this yesterday.
POSTER CHILD!
I can hardly believe it! THAT is what the pulmonary doctor called me!
At this point 6 months out and about 100lbs down he wants me to have another sleep study to see if I can get rid of the CPAP or if it needs to be reset to a lower position. YIPPEE!
Also, at the surgeon's office labs were mostly good. down slightly on vit D- so I need to add some D. THAT was no surprise to me... up here in the frozen Northeast lacking sun. Even when it's shining brightly- I have to use a high amount of sunscreen because I burn way to easily.
So... not getting the vitamin D from the natural source.
cholesterol was vastly improved... total 178. ldl 105 / hdl- 73
calcium was also good.
wish there was something for my memory! Meant to ask for a copy of report so I could look at the B and some of the other levels closer.
I think I'll call my PCP monday and request a copy of the report.
Well- for now I'm outta here! off to Curves to do my thing.
