Your feelings are completely normal. You are beginning to detach which means that you are getting back to working on yourself, developing a positive self image. I am impressed that you have lost a stone of weight. Unfortunately I have as well. Probably a stone and a half. Oh well the Dr says I look fine. One man's perspective is to get yourself a new hairdo and maybe a makeover. Learn a new skill or find a new interest that will stimulate your mind. Rouky and I have talked a lot about this. There are financial challenges to these things but sometimes there are things we can do that cost very little or nothing. Keep the pressure on your husband and get in the mode of driving all the boys crazy!
Thank you shotgun!
I was really on it today. Tried a new hairstyle, took a lot of time and care getting ready (only one small GAL activity, then going to work).
Got loads of compliments from people (mainly women) about how I looked - one of my colleagues said I looked really beautiful. And noticed a few guys checking me out too...funny!
But my little GAL activity was something that inadvertently tore my soul in two, and a few people I know who were near me said I looked totally shell shocked after.
On the plus side, that shell shocked feeling then enabled me to speak to a friend about the whole situation. I've not really told anyone about it all. She's lovely, and I'm very grateful she was willing to listen (toned down version, with a strict time limit on the conversation).
I was also invited to a new year's eve party by someone I work with. She doesn't know what's going on, but I was so happy that she thought of me. I've always spent new year's eve with my H and my in laws, in their village, doing something work related but for the benefit of the community there. So I've been thinking about it, and really dreading it over the past couple of weeks.
Trying hard to see positives in today, when I've also felt pretty crushed and down as well.
Hope you're OK. Thank you so much for stopping by and offering me help and advice.
