So back to the gym tonight. Back to work out my frustrations. Mr. P and I met yesterday to talk about everything. No, we are not back together. But after 9 months of dating, I agreed to meet face to face. It's been the worst Memorial Day weekend I've ever had. And the sad thing is I really do miss him so much. I don't know if we'll ever work through this, or if it's even possible. But for now, it's just sad.
Oh side note - my mom wants me to go out with this guy her friend knows. (not sure Im' ready to date just yet, but we'll see.) Apparently he's VERY involved in his church. Now, don't get me wrong. I want a man who has God in his life. BUT. I will never go back to the lifestyle that I lived as a child. We were in the church everytime the doors were open. Everything we did was for the church. We eat, lived, breathed, slept the church. I think church is great (I have yet to find one so far that I want to be a part of but I'm still hopeful) But sometimes I think people confuse their relationship with God with their relationship with church itself. Guess what? Churches are made of humans, humans that are flawed. The drama in church can be disapointing. It can really take your mind off of what is truly important. Your relationship with God. It was overwhelming and when I turned 18, I ran away from it so far that I'm amazed I ever came back. But fortunately I'm in a good place now with my spirituality. I have gotten comfortable with prayer again. I read my Bible. We (meaning me and the Big Guy) have a GOOD relationship these days. But I can't help but be anxious about going out with someone who is so involved with the church. I know for those of ya'll that are members of great churches, probably see this as silly or maybe I'm making excuses because I'm not ready to date. All I know is when my mom told me about it, my stomach got a little queasy.
I know, I'm worrying about things that I have no control over. Just putting my thoughts out there today. Does it feel like Monday to ya'll too??
PS I finally joined Twitter, so ya'll follow me (and I'll do the same) so I can feel like I'm not talking to an empty room. LOL!

YEAH! Someone noticed your weight loss other than you! WHOHOOO!!! I still don't see it... ok... I kinda do. I have 1 less back roll. But that's about all I see gone.More and more people will start to notice though. And from 1 thunder thigh gal to another... love your thighs just hope for them to get stronger! I know I won't get skinny thighs, but i know I CAN get them to where you see all muscle and KNOW it's muscle instead of FAT! Some day!
Time will heal what ever has happened between you 2. Either for you both, or just for you. It is good to be sure you clear the air so that you can move on... and sometimes you just gotta do it with the other person... not alone. Not trying to say you'll get back together either. But healing does have to happen.
You'll get there on dating though. Just don't feel pressured or you'll end dating a lot of guys who end up making you feel like love aint never gonna happen. It happens when you least expect it!
Take care of you!
I have the same feelings about church. So much drama and so many self-righteous people. It would be nice to find a church that focuses on what's truly important, but maybe it's more about me focusing on what's truly important.
That's awesome that your boss noticed your weight loss! It just makes you feel good when someone else notices.
Your childhood sounds like mine (always at the church). I think that's why I stayed so far away from church when I moved away from home. I'm working my way back. The Big Guy and I are a little rocky right now, but we'll get there. I'd really like my son to attend - just not as much as I
did! I'm just looking for a good church too.
I'm with you on the thunder thighs. I can't get rid of them no matter what I do!
YIPEE!!! Its gotta feel good someone notices the weight loss! Very reaffirming!
And being someone who spends every day pratically at church, I totally understand & respect that opinion you have. It can get overwhelming for some people & totally take you off the focus of God, which is the LAST thing God would want! Glad your relationship with Him is right on & continuing to work!!! But dont let that stop you from meeting a guy because he's a church guy... it may possibly mean he "attends" church - not a big deal.
And totally going to go follow you on Twitter right now! FUN!
I have been so out of the loop, I didn't know you and Mr. P split up. I'm so sorry Sher.
Congrats! That is a great compliment. :)
So sorry about the breakup still. I'll be thinking of you. :)
congrats on the weight loss! It's so motivating when people notice. And sorry to hear about the break up. hugs.
Awesome....I wish someone would notice my 20! LOL All I can say about Mr P is I hope you can gain a sense of calm and closure. And well, about religion, I better just bite my tongue. I too grew up similar to how you did.
That's cool your boss noticed your weight loss! And I think your mother & her friend have very good intentions, but you're right about not wanting to date anyone right now.
And don't even get me started on the whole church thing!
Too bad you didn't live a lot closer or else we could go walking together.
Congrats on the weight loss!! YAH!!! Even better, getting noticed for the weight loss - that is just the best reinforcement & affirmation out there.
Glad you are hanging in there with Mr. P & all that - it's a lot to take in I'm sure. But glad to hear you are focusing on you in a positive way & hitting the gym!
Always better to come out the bad end of a relationship with a killer body & new found confidence than a Krispy Kreme butt & 6 new rescue cats.
Dating is a ridiculous process. That's all I'll say about that.
Also, hope you're enjoying Twitter, I *loves* it :)
I love it! Very creative!That's actually really cool.
