Susie and Orbit's daily dribble

[ditzeeblonde]

Have you got to the stage I have? I feel that so much has passed me by while I was large that now I need to do stuff, experience stuff, get out there...............you know?

Haven't hit that stage yet but I am wanting to do more but still feel embarrassed by my size, my head so doesn't see any changes. x

Isn't it amazing how our lives are put on hold by being big? I've lost loads of confidence in my ability to do things & I was overflowing with confidence in my younger years!

 

[ladyfelsham]

I've got an idea - we need to put a list of the things we've always wanted to do but couldn't because of our size (whether it was a purely physical or mental thing holding us back). Could be a good impetus...

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Fab idea... theres loads I've always wanted to do & now its confidence holding me back not just my size!

 

[ladyfelsham]

I'll post onto the get together thread

My love of live music has definitely come to the fore, can't really afford real gigs at the Take That price type tickets so local bands in local pubs has become my fun time - next friday is my next gig and looking forward to it already.

Not sure about the confidence thing, I have become more of a scaredy cat as I have got older - a water park slide used to be nothing, as big as I was, maybe 10 years ago, 5 years ago it became a very scary thing to me...........no rhyme or reason for it. Yet I can walk into a pub and watch a band all by myself........weird.

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Isn't it weird how things change... almost without us noticing? When do these things happen & what makes us less or more confident at doing things?

 

[Quak]

I know, driving in the snow terrifies me and I always thought I was quite a confident driver. Ah well, if life was the same all the way through it would be toooooooooooooo boring lol

 

[ladyfelsham]

I've started getting old lady vertigo with stairs - need to see where my foot is going on the next stair, instead of tromping down without a worry

 

[Quak]

With you on that one - do you wear glasses?

 

[ditzeeblonde]

I'm ok with stairs but I feel I have got incredibly boring & have nothing to say of interest to anyone!

 

[Quak]

I am same and yet on here we chat away..........................and nobody ******* off lol

 

[ditzeeblonde]

It seems easier somehow on here... to be me!

 

[Quak]

I know what you mean, nobody really knows you so has no expectations or preformed ideas.............

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Absolutely... its amazing what I can share on here that close friends don't know! be fab when we all meet up. x

 

[Quak]

God forbid we should all go shy!

 

[ladyfelsham]

Just read those last few posts, and was thinking about Jim wondering about whether we have lack of self esteem.

I'm on my own so can please myself - but you have families and OHs, and I think you are amazing to stick to Atkins and please other people at the same time.

Just keep in mind that losing weight is for you and no one else. What a gift

 

[ladyfelsham]

God forbid we should all go shy!

Hahahahahahahahaha.....as if....

 

[Quak]

Am looking forward to some quality time with people who just "understand" without having to spell it out

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Love you ladies.... thanks for listening this evening, so looking forward to a very non-shy meet in March!!

Night nurse is kicking in so I'm off to dream of red wine, things to put on my bucket list & new wardrobes!
