Moving past the WAW to a stronger me Pt. 2

[Davide]

Thanks!

I actually just got back to the house. I stopped over there to drop the car off and drop off some items that I took home from school for the end of the year.

I told her I was coming, but when I knocked on the front door and called out, she didn't answer. The dog came running in from the backyard to say hi to me, and I played with her for a bit so I know she knew I was there. So I knocked on her office door which was mostly closed and said hi. She looked like she was almost at the point of tears then, and at a couple of other moments. I on the other hand was upbeat and chipper, with a fresh haircut and shave.

We ended up talking for nearly half an hour on the couch. Mainly about bills, banking, her apartment situation. She didn't really offer up too much about herself but she asked about me. We talked about her getting a new car or just renting one when she needs it in the coming months. She was peeking at my new wrist tattoo so I showed her. She asked me about my weight loss and how I was feeling. It was all very light and relaxed, probably more on my end than hers.

At the end I gave her a hug and she remarked on just how skinny I was because she could feel my ribs.

It was really good on a number of levels. It was good to see her again, especially in advance of Saturday so that wont carry quite so much weight. I was also really happy with the way that I carried it. It wasn't really an act, I felt good and confident. I also felt happy just because I was talking with her. Its probably not great for my detachment, but I left feeling really good despite no signs of her resolve wavering. She did seem impressed with my physique and attitude changes.

2 more days til the road trip!
