Hi all,

I had a set back on the weekend, but I have bounced back already in just a few days. It's curious to me how one day I can feel such intense raw pain and then the next feel fine and dandy.

The mood swings are extrememly frustating however I have been more happier than not, so I guess I am still improving.

I am still doing weight watchers, it's been a week and I have lost 1.7kg. I'm still doing Salsa and loving it...romantically I have no one, but recently I have been having feelings for a friend again. I met up with friends on the weekend and seeing him brought back memories, I forgot how much i like this guy.

It's definately not a possibility, he is taken and even if he were not I don't think he likes me like that anymore...nothing eventuated from the first time we met and we just ended up being friends, for the past two years I kick myself for this but at the same time I think I have and do put him up on the huge, unreachable pedastal. I don't think it would have worked out anyway but I wish I took the chance, everyday I hate myself for losing him. It's like it ended before we even had a chance to start.

The whole men situation has not improved and I accept this. What I mean is that I know I am not ready for any sort of relationship. I know I need to heal myself first and though I know what I have to do, it's not any easier. I won't lie, loneliness does fill my heart often, I yearn to lie next to a warm body, to feel sexy again, to feel beautiful, to have a man give me affection. To be noticed...to exist...

Nevertheless I will carry on, walking this path I have fallin apon. I'll keep walking to the end and hopefully the next few weeks will be brighter and I'll be stronger...

Love you all

Bluewave

Congrats on the weight loss bluewave, that's fantastic! I know what you mean about the pain just suddenly 'switching off' (for want of a better description). I feel similar feelings, it is mighty frustrating, but sometimes it is good to know in those times of raw pain that they will pass and you'll be ok again. If you keep on the path that you are travelling, I'm sure that you'll come upon Mr. Right some time, you sound as if you are gaining so much vitality!

Good on you for the weight loss. You seem to be doing well with the weight loss.

The man thing is in the past and you should leave it there if he is with someone.

Glad the salsa is going well.

Go Blue!!!
