Like a Handprint on my Heart...

Hey, G-Woman,

One reason I didn't go out with friends last night was that I felt unlovable.

As you would say - and have said - to me, "Stop it. Just stop it!"

I have - occasionally and quite naturally and understandably - images of being over the hill and alone.. along with being obese. Manage sadness, keep the numbing void with food. A fear that once the kids don't need me what will I turn to?

We all do. That is the Surviving part. The Thriving part will return. Hey, my kids haven't "needed" me for years. What did I become? Me.

Time to face the demons and continue to get healthy.

Now that's the G-Woman I know and love (even though she doesn't feel lovable at times!)

Just not myself.

Yes you are. Just one of your many, many facets.

(((Hugs)))p.s. I feel many of these thoughts and emotions from time to time. Maybe I should post them more often, so you get more practice at telling someone (you or me) to snap out of it!
