Remember me fondly

I should be feeling really good about myself right now. The weight is on the way down again. I only know this because of my clothes, because of course the scale is still a scary object to me right now.

Tragic really. I do not want to see a number.

At the moment feel like I love more than I will ever be loved. I know there is so much love that I have to give, but also that I have so much to lose at the same time because I give of myself so freely. Reminds me of one of my favorite Sarah McLachlan songs. You know which one?
From Fear:
But I fear, I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose here in this lonely place
Tangled up in our embrace
There's nothing I'd like better than to fall
But I fear, I have nothing to give
But I fear, I have so much to lose

It is so hard to give of yourself completely when you are afraid.

I've been listening to my Sarah cd's a lot lately. I go through periods of time when I don't listen at all, and then I obsess and listen to every song over and over and over again.

I don't know how, but it is like she is speaking through me, or something like that. I absolutely love her lyrics, her voice, her style. She is amazing.

I wish I was a fraction as talented as she is.

So. I wish I had all the answers. God, do I ever. I don't. All I can do is keep going. Take things day by day; where will we end up? Where will I be next year? In ten years? I don't know.

I hope that after I am gone there will be someone around to say, "She was a girl who really loved. She wore her heart on her sleeve. She gave unselfishly. She was beautiful."

Hey Ms Ralph. Sorry I haven't popped in lately but been flat out trying not to freeze. Oh and cleaning the house - again!! Does it ever stop :D

But have updated my links so now will be able to remember to call in and say hi on a more regular basis.

I'm a little late but if you would still like to play the word game - your letter is 'N'. I am updating my sidebar as each person does there letter - I find it a great way to learn a little bit more about each person.

I hope you have a lovely cold sunny day today :D

you can bet your bottom dollar that I will be standing there saying more than that about you sweety. You are so much like me. You give everything and then when people aren't like us and they don't give anything back, we are the ones that get hurt. But, we are also the ones that just smile it away in public and keep on keeping on. If Sarah is any kind of person, she will definitely make her way back into your life one day. Anyone who believes that they are better off without you in their life, is a screw loose!

This was a beautiful entry.

I feel that exact thought... no idea where I will be next year or in ten years time... but I hope it is fabulous!

Hey there, I still read you regularly, just so flat out right now that I havent had time to comment in many places at all. I am sorry to read that things are still really tough for you, but just the fact that you think so deeply on all of these things makes be believe that you will find your way to the other side.

Just hang in there, the only real failure is to give up completely.

Honey, we all wish we had all the answers. Keep your chin up :o)

Congrats on the weight going in the right direction again!

My friend, my sweet and loving friend,

Just know one thing. There is a solution you know. One and only actually.

The moment you turn all this love you have inside you to yourself, things magically fall into place. It is not selfish, it is not egoistical, it is just how things should be. Now I better go, before I begin to sound like ...what was her name...Anne Hay I think?

All this inside you is yours to harvest first. Then you begin to give it away.

I'm here

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.

Do you want what you can't have?

On the way home from work I saw a girl with the figure I want, but will never have. She was young; I think probably around 16 or 17. She was tall with lean legs and she was wearing a pair of trendy short shorts with a t-shirt. She also had amazingly perfect large breasts. I admittedly stared for a moment at her because she didn't have one single blemish. She is so beautiful. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how I will never be that thin, I will probably never wear short shorts, and I definitely will never have those boobs. I wish I didn't look longingly at the things other people have and envy them, but I do. But I don't think I am the only one.

Tweaking

So I've done some tweaking to the code. I now think it looks better in Firefox than IE because IE is not recognising the best font. It is too late right now for me to concern myself with this. At least most of us can actually read it. Also I have to create a new weight chart that is compatible with this design. Thanks a lot for the input. Firefox users, is it better now?
