Cate's Diary

It´s irrational, but totally normal at the same time. I can weigh the ecaxt same amount and feel grossly overweight one day and pretty shapely the next. Which is why it´s so easy to gain weight unnoticed and so easy to stay unhappy with our bodies after reaching goal weight.
 
It's absolutely maddening. I do need to find some more self-discipline though. Some days I feel like I'm a runaway train!
 
Now I have an ear wurm. Better than the previous one though, which was "Das kleine Beisl" by Peter Alexander. One of the highlights of most musical entertainment for our frailer clients...
 
OK. Without going into too many details (as I don't want to get too get teary again) I am feeling out of sorts again. I spent about half an hour on the phone with our older son yesterday evening. "Mum, don't over-think things." "Mum, don't take things personally." "Mum, just be yourself." Apparently, I am copping the brunt of his GF's ex-inlaws treatment towards her. I am not them. I have never shown anything but kindness towards her. I really don't know how I will deal with meeting up with her next time, assuming there will be a next time.
I'm off to golf again today, after having a terrible night's sleep. It's the last round of our championships & I haven't really got a chance. I will try to just relax & enjoy the company.
 
I suggest you ask your son to not tell you anymore if something similar comes up. I understand being open and communicating well but if it distresses you and isn´t something you can influence there´s no use in him passing on the information.
 
Thanks, folks. I'll address each of you individually tomorrow. I woke up this morning with severe Gastroenteritis & TMI alert- have been sitting on the toilet for most of the day with a bucket for the other end, Horrible! I was meant to be taking G into Launceston for lunch for his birthday. :( I have slept in between bouts. I have also had awful stomach cramps/convulsions.
Behind every grey cloud, there's a silver lining. I wouldn't dare eat anything!
 
Thank you, everyone. I still have it, but I'm not vomiting anymore. We are meant to be driving down to Hobart tomorrow with our GS & staying at our YS's place for a party on Sunday, with live music all afternoon. I can't imagine being so much better by tomorrow. It's 8.30 am & I have raced to the toilet 5 times already since I woke up! :eek:
 
If you think you might be contagious in any way you should definitely stay home - otherwise Big Pharma may be your friend here.
 
Oh Cate, sorry that you're not feeling well. Maybe this is your body's way of getting rid of all the shit (both physically and emotionally)! :D

I would say that your son is probably trying to be kind to you rather than cruel and maybe giving you good advice. Have more faith in yourself. I hope you come out the other side of this feeling better.
 
I wasn´t suggesting D doesn´t mean well (I see how it would come across that way though) but good intentions not always good results give.
