So GAL'ing is the Q of the hour. I see that we should do it for us. I see that it is important for them to see we will be OK and survive. I enjoy the time to unwind and be with friends, a time to enjoy life and not think about my sitch. However; what is a common reaction from a WW. Mine has started to act like having to watch the kids for less than two extra hours one or two nights a week is her going out of her way, even thought this has been the arrangement since she left the MH. Probably the fact that my exercise is starting to pay off, and I am looking good and feeling good. SAME WAIST SIZE AS COLLEGE! thanks to the D diet healthy meal choices and a good trainer..
i was out and she text me tonight. i have gone out Thursdays since she left. sometimes just to be alone, sometimes to go to the gym and workout to feel good about myself and 180, or for dinner with a friend. Sometimes even when i really didn't want to be out and just wanted to go home, I did it to keep the precedent. She was saying "it must be nice to have someone to watch the kids so you can go do xxxxxxx or xxxx or xxxx". <-- she actually knew what I was doing but i haven't told her and i didn't think she even knew the people that I was with (new work friends). i wanted to be like, "oh really...What about the other 5-6 nights a week when i have them? Is that not having someone else to watch the kids so you can do as you please? I didn't say it though. I typed it but didn't send it. I think I kind of set a boundary. I said, " I am sorry that you feel like that, but I will be continuing to pick the kids up @ xx on this night as we have. If we need to make other arrangements let me know and we can look into our options."
My mother, is ready, willing and able to be help me and would be happy to pick up the kids to have the time with them. My point was that I will continue to do what I am doing regardless of what she does.
Probably could have described tonight better but i hope you get the idea.
