You are a strong woman and can do anything you put your mind to doing :)

this is very 3 of cups (tarot card) it's old pain/regret that no longer serves you I'm glad you've dredged it up and now you can make peace with it and move forward, and darling you are NEVER too old to achieve a dream so don't count yourself out yet, as long as you breathe you can achieve! (damn that's good gotta remember that one!lol)

i've been there - had to let a "friend" go. just know that you will grieve the loss (that's normal with change), but you'll get through it. and, you'll feel better about yourself!

I truly believe things all happen for a reason. It might piss me off not knowing what that reason is, but I know there is some sort of plan. It's hard going through it though. Right now I still feel like I am. It can be emotionally draining forsure... But hopefully I come out stronger like you. You are doing great my friend. Be proud of that.

You inspire me to push my body to exercise more. It's one of the areas I need much much improvement. Keep at it!

Darcy Winters said...

No redo's but you never know what life brings at you. I have a few of "those" supposed friends in the past. You're doing awesome!!

You shouldn't beat yourself up over your school choices. You made the best decision you could with what you had to go on. I think it's an awful lot of pressure, to take a fresh, 18-year-old kid and say, "OK now, pick what you want to do for the next 30-40 years of your life." European countries often have a "gap year" for their kids after secondary school; I think we should do that, too...time to work and travel and figure things out.

All our experiences make us who we are, the good and the bad. There are things I'd definitely do differently if I could go back, but I try not to think about them since I can't – I only have now to go on.

So don't beat yourself up! The right career path will come along; you may change it several times even – you have lots of time and it's never too late. And a year from now, when you're running all over the place, you'll be so glad you didn't wait any longer to start exercising!

I believe in you and you've got this. :-)

P.S. Dump that "friend." You deserve better. You've been very kind and patient, but some distance is definitely called for there – give your friendship to people who will appreciate it!

You can do this, it is never too late. It's true that we can't go back but we can move forward.

Exercise is DEFINITELY liberating! I am so glad you are training for the 10k and ditching TV in place of it. Good for the heart, mind, soul and, yes, the body!

I cannot believe your friend had you do a favor and then didn't wait for you to arrive for the meal. I am just glad you realized they weren't worth your friendship. The hard part may be following through with it.

Ho Hos!! I am not sure if they still make them.
PS, I posted about carbs if you were interested in checking it out :)

I don't live so far away :) and you have yet to invite me out for a walk :) I think we should make it happen :) I say do your best to look at the bright side of things, you are bright and capable and a kind heart. I'm with Timothy, it's never to late. As for wishing I had lost weight sooner, I've realized I wasn't ready yet :) it's happening for you, learning to love yourself just as you are. Sending you a big hug :)

MaryFran said...

Yes!!!! Let's definitely make a walk happen!

I have been there, I have hid behind my fears and woke up wondering what I was waiting for. I spent years in what felt like playing catch up. In the end it was all worth it and I would not change a thing. I want it all for you and I would like to support you through the process.
