Lately, I'm finding myself cutting them off at the first comment with "I really don't want to talk about that" as I leave the room to the bathroom, kitchen, whatever. Sometimes its better to "nip it in the bud" as I find it's like a broken record, same story each time.<br /><br />And don't dwell on stumbling with food this week. It happens to all of us - we're not perfect, but we're trying, right?Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823767091787001229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-33971800586591081672011-03-21T13:13:28.273-04:002011-03-21T13:13:28.273-04:00I'm so sorry Michele.

You are more determined than anyone I've ever seen. :)<br /><br />I read this post with my mouth hanging open regarding X's comments. I've heard rude comments before, but this was beyond, and you didn't deserve them. At all.<br /><br />My take on beauty is this. . . You need to see yourself as beautiful, and if you do, I truly believe others will as well. After having my baby girl 8 months ago, I didn't love my body. I actually hated it, and ate and ate more because of it. In looking back, I don't think one other preson could have seen me as beautiful because I was too busy self loathing. Now, I'm trying to be better with my weight, and I feel better about myself, and I think that that shows on the outside as well. <br /><br />You were no doubt a beautiful person before, and you are beautiful now. Unfortunately, there will always be people who can't get further than skin deep.<br /><br />I hope you are feeling much better today. :)Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912857890584533572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-64022741279871775712011-03-21T08:12:55.913-04:002011-03-21T08:12:55.913-04:00I know that you said that you can't get away f...I know that you said that you can't get away from X for certain reasons, but they sound terribly poisonious and toxic. If there is anyway to aviod this individual then you should make this effort. If not for yourself then for your childrens sake! It sounds like its only a matter of time before X's attitude towards judging people speads and you should be prepared to protect yourself and your children. <br /><br />I hope this situation turns around for you!Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944360286843076465noreply@blogger.com
