ORIGINAL: wandersalone I admit that I have been letting go of people who do not put as much effort into a friendship as I do and it feels wonderful. I admit I've done the same in the last few years. I admit I've also gradually removed myself from people who do not support my happiness. It has made such a huge difference. I admit I'm glad you got through Christmas with your family, wanders - family love, no matter what sized family, is so valuable. I admit my mother has been so critical lately, and it's getting old. I admit I'm picking my battles and letting most of her comments just wash away. I admit I spoke with my sister last night and she sounds really tired. She has also commented on my mother being critical. I admit our estranged sister texted me on New Years and asked if we can phone chat this weekend and catch up. I admit this will be our first one-on-one conversation in about 6 years. I admit I gained some weight during the time of my sisters crisis and over the holidays - too much fast food as a convenience during urgent trips to the hospital/to watch the boys. I admit I gain weight so easily, it's frustrating. I admit I'm back to my 5AM gym workouts, controlling my food, and 3x/week Zumba. I've lost 3 pounds already - whew. I admit the Mister has been totally supportive through all of it, and has not complained at all about the weight gain - instead he says to give myself a break, and let's just both get back on track. I admit he rocks.
