I threw a total pity party earlier - one guest: me!
I think I got my knickers in twist about that fact that other parts of my life aren't just automatically falling into place as I lose weight. Specifically, that now I'm looking and feeling better, why are men not falling at my feet? Stupid, huh? I'm not sure why I expected that one particular aspect of my life to change as the weight fell away. I guess I've read too many trashy romance novels along the way, lol.
Anyhoo - the party's been broken up now, the pity's been packed away again, and I'm still stomping along the road to a better (if single) me.
I made a New Year's resolution that 2009 would be the year I would finally get healthy ... with the aim of losing 70lbs. That journey was the start of changing many things in my life for the better ... and I'm still on the journey!

You know what would have made your pity party better? Balloons!
tPity parties usually have just one guest. Any more and it would be a b*tch session! lol
Hiya
I've just started reading your blog - so hello.
We all have a wee dip from time to time and the skill is getting back up again - which you seem to have mastered!
lainey.
Jack - fuck the balloons - what would have made it better would have been jelly and icecream, and CAKE!!! But I'm not allowed them, so I guess balloons would have done instead.
Anne - it would have been a sympathy shower with more paticipants than just little old me. Bitching is what usually comes later when I'm in the recovery stage lol
And Lainey - hello and welcome! :O) I had a sneaky little peek at your blog in return - nice.
Nah, with Pity Parties, balloons, cakes and banners do nothing for me, gotta be a bottle of Vodka and diet lemonade, only one point per vodka and you get to cry for as long as you want, and you always feel so much better after a cry and then stupid, cause you don't know what you were crying for, give me a shout next time your having a PP and i will talk you out of it. Mwah xx
Nothing wrong with a bit of self pity every now and then - its something I particularly excel at!
I was having a similar self pity session yesterday - yet mine lasted all night so you did better than me :) x
