Thanks hun
I keep faffing about with all my new swsh haha! Starts in 2weeks but OH has promised he will help me focus - I have the attention span of a hyperactive Jack Russel I almost gave in to the xmas tub of chocs yesterday! Wish they wouldn't put them all over the shop - if they stayed just in the Xmas aisle it would be easier to avoid! xx

Really upset - friendship problems :'(
I'm having such a bad day... I feel like I'm losing my best friend & there's nothing I can do - ball is in her court
Basically due to my illness & have to stay in & pass up invitations for the past 3years I've grown apart from most of my friends
She was the only one left that I still had regular contact with but now even she seems to be pulling away & frankly - not being a very good friend to me anymore.
I know I sound pathetic & I feel it too.
The truth is I probably wouldn't put up with being treated this way if I had other friends to be with but like I said - the damage is done & it's my own problem that I got sick & couldn't go out - people stop inviting you places if you say no often enough.
I love her to pieces & we've been friends for over 12 years & that's why it's so heart-breaking for me :'(
I wish I could give up Facebook cos all I see is her spending time with tons of other people but not having time for me even though I've been there for her through thick & thin... I hate the term 'growing apart' and you think it will never happen to you but it's quite clear to me, no matter how hard I deny it, that that's what's happening.
And I HATE it.
We did have a disscusion about this at the start of this year & it was 1 of only 2 dissagreements we've ever had.
At the time she admitted she thought I was being weird with her but we talked it out via e-mail & both said we'd shed tears over the idea of not having each other as friends etc... so we agreed to not speak of it again as we both knew we wanted to stay friends..... but nothing has changed.
I still feel the same negativity about the way she seems to just plain not need me as much as I need her.
Oh what a pickle.
I know people will tell me to go make new friends, join a group etc but I tell ya it's absolutely 99% impossible!
At my age it's soooooooo hard to. meet people esspecially with my health keeping me from working or socialising much (wish my phone had a spell-checker!)
Add onto that the fact that I'm incredibly shy and have pretty epic social anxiety and you've got a recipe for a hermit life
Don't know what to do. Am very upset. Don't want to lose her but it's hurting me so much every time I see her statuses... I need to get a life right?!
Soz for the rant - needed to get it out! x

Loves Minimins!
Sweetie is there no way you can do some small with her... not the big massive social event but arrange once a week to go out for a meal or something... It is not your fault you got ill but I know what u mean... when you so no so many times people forget to ask you... but don't let her... arrange things that you can do.... and maybe join a meeting and u will make some friends there... u are never to old for anything!!!! U are fabulous and look at all the new friends you have made on here! U aren't that shy! big hugs xxxxxx

Don't be sorry girl, we are here for you
Sry to here about all this.. I know it can really be hard to lose a friend that you are soo close to.. unfortunately I moved around a lot as a kid so I never really kept friends for very long so can only imagine what it would be like in your situation.
But it is not your fault you got sick, and its not your fault if you couldn't go out if the reasons were down to your illness.
Like you say the term "growing apart" seems so awful, but unfortunately it happens all too often. I had a friend once, I think the best friend I've ever had, I mean we did absolutely everything together, but she went away on a cruise for a few weeks one time and after that I could feel like things just weren't the same anymore.. then we had one fight and I never talked to her again. Until about last year when I tried to get back in contact with her cause I missed her so much. But it never really worked cause now she's in a way different place in her life than I am. It was so hard on me to lose her cause my life kinda went down hill from there cause whe was the only friend I had. I wasn't social enough to go out and I had to decline parties and stuff with people at work cause I don't drink.. so pretty much the odd one out. But seeing where I am now and where she is its just the way it was meant to be.. I mean trust me I needed someone so bad after she left. Not a week or 2 after we "split" I got played.. hard by this a**hole.. totally broke my heart and I had no one. I even called my mom and she wouldn't come to be with me.. It was really hard on me to be so abandoned and alone, I mean its still hard to make friends cause I feel like ill get abandoned. But about 6 months later I met my OH over the internet and I never looked back. And come to find out now she is going to some bible college in colorado or somethine.. so really us going our seperate ways led us to bigger and better things and set us on the paths we needed to be on for our better futures. I'm not saying its gonna be easy cause its not, but it won't last forever. And maybe its just what's meant to happen. Just feel happy that you were able to have known them and had the good times you did and learned from the things that you've gone through in this.
I'm so sry that life sucks and seems to always want to kick you when your down, but it will get better as long as you pick yourself up and keep going. There will be more people out there that will stick by you no matter what. You're even working through getting your illness taken care of and one day all of that will get better also and it'll be one less thing holding you back. Which I think will also help with your self confidence and self esteem issues..
So you will get there my love.. and we will be here for you through it.. thick and thin ( ) lol keep your chin up xxxxxxxxx

Found your diary I have a mild social anxiety was agrophobic a few years ago I still don't have a social life...i don't do anything outside me and my bfs relationship and I know how difficult it is. Especially when people say oh you need to make new friends etc as you get older it is so hard
Were all friends on here though
Xxx

Awww Carrie your post made me super sad I hope you can talk to your friend and work it out, why don't you just basically tell her exactly what you just put on here?? maybe she doesn't realise how much she means to you. You are a lovely person and its a shame your illness stops you getting to share that as much as you could. It seems youre taking new positive steps all the time though so you will get there lovely. We're all here for you. and ALSO i love stationary so much toooo love the new purchases!x

Carrie ,the girls have said it all really .I hope you can get things all out on the table with your friend and thrash things out. Put yourself in her shoes, -If someone kept turning down your invites to go out how would you feel ?? . maybe she feels that you are not interested in her any more ..I hope ye can work it out .

Lost 3lbs *happy dance*
Mainly relieved that it's still possible!
So I am back to my highest total loss & NEED to get past this barrier next week!!
I seriously need to because I've been yo-yoing with the same 4lbs for 2months now & I'm going a wee bit potty! I need to lose just 2lbs to get my 1st whole stone AND a full star chart!!
I need to lose 6lbs to get down to the next stone bracket which will be a big boost for me to not be in this decade of numbers anymore :'(
I only went for 3 walks this week but yesterday's was a longer one and I hope that that's what's helped me drop the weight this week
Usually I wi on Tuesdays but I've got a hospital appointment tomorrow morning so thought i'd do it today & I'm glad I did!
Will respond to all your lovely comments on the friendship issue a bit later - want to keep on this happy vibe for a bit longer

yaaaaayy!!! im soo proud of you! how exciting :talk017:
see all your hard work is starting to pay off..
its funny cause i just looked back on the wii fit and realized that ive been doing it since the end of august.. and even though i was doing that everyday i didnt really start losing until the last monthish.. so for the first month or so i just went back in forth in the same 4lbs kinda like you.. so even though i was eating better and doing the work i didnt really see anything.. which tbh im so surprised that i kept going.. i think that finding minimins and having my new friends like you miss carrie that have really gotten me going
.. so it just goes to show that it might just take a little bit for your body to start giving up the poundage lol .. very proud of you keep it up, and good luck on whatever your appointment is girly!:bighug:
