Interesting how one bumps into, or encounters experiences in life...
Spent yesterday with Doug. We shopped for a wedding gift for a wedding we attended later in the day. Went straight to Pottery Barn where the couple had registered, checked out their registry, and bought a gift. A Wedding allows for reflection. This couple, young and happy but facing illness and struggling through the difficult maze that is life just like we all must.
More and more an understanding or accepting of what normal, "healthy" relationships are, has become a part of my consciencious. Given the opportunity to observe and think about my own relationship with Doug, my daughters, and others: Everyone has shit and baggage and crap to deal with. It is hard, and you need to work on it. Working on it is defined as...not sweeping the stuff you don't want to face under the rug. Coming clean on the stuff you are not proud of having done and living openly in times of crisis. Not easy!
How does this fit into the journey of weight loss, each of the things I've said about people can be applied, albeit loosely, to relationships with food.
I have only love for you.
