Hi, I admit I was a tad confused by your friend's response, Pen. Was SHE offended or only trying to tell you that WE might be offended? If the latter, and if she hasn't lurked herself, she might have a different idea of what these boards are about. DB is a different game from the usual for starters. And while it doesn't work in bringing all relationships back, it is most likely a better gambit than anything else out there. She might just have a different picture in her mind from the reality. I haven't yet seen a poster that was offended, for really what did it contain that was offensive?
Hey Kitty, I am so proud of you for joining a gym. The thing is: people should love us for who wwe are inside, but peopole aren't perfect. And yes, we should want to feel in shape ourselves, for ourselves, for our health and self image. BUT , if we were in a relationship where we allowed our partner to hurt us with demands for a perfect body...well, that then becomes problematic. Been there, done that. Work that gym, but do it for you. I'm still trying, but frustrated that nothing seems to work well...but UDs idea for a low carb drink for breakfast (I find breakfast difficult) is definitely a step in the right direction for me. So, that being said: off to breakfast. gd (linda)
