Hey Val,
Looks like you are doing great :) I wish I had your optimism right now. I think that though our situations are very similar, the difference is that I let dave treat me like crap for a very long time, and in the process, all of my self esteem flew out the window, and I started believing I wasn't worth him treating me well.
So I'm glad you have your strength, and willpower. you are going to be just fine :)

Brit, you amaze me AND everyone on the forum. Look what you've been through!!! Not to mention assault :( It's highy inappropriate, but while my ass is hanging out for everyone to see, I might as well mention that I have thankfully never been attacked, assaulted, beaten, or abused--MIRACLES HAPPEN!!! And I'm still screwy! Well, my parents......anyway, Life comes through for us, we will heal no matter how long it takes. Peace and serenity are the important things. Love, next, maybe. :confused:
 
Cerella and Sunny: Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the sushi!

Wow your so stong!Sometime we have to stumble and scratch our knees to remember how quickly things can happen and how fast it can all come back together.
I think with more time you will diffenitely come to realize your the shit°°LOL

I don't feel that strong, heh heh :eek: I appreciate it, and maybe showing weakness IS strength over pride, I dunno........:confused: I've always been interested in tearing down the ego completely, but then I worry "wouldn't one go insane??" I studied religions of the world but not one indepth......*despairs*
 
Hey Val,
I'm glad to read that you are feeling better and working your way forward to who you truly are. And hey, needing or asking for help doesn't make you a spoiled bitch in the least. Sometimes we all need to ask for a little help to get us through. Take care. :)

Oooh thanks! My friend told me that he thinks I seldom ask for help and told me not to be afraid. I HAD been begging the BF to listen to me, but he's so mad at me right now he was cranky and cold. That's why I realized when he said he needed time away from me, he wasn't kidding! ANd I found I needed time from him. I don't think we've been away from each other for more than 3 days before......I think it has been almost 3 now. Anyway, enough about him! :mad:
 
Thanks, Korrie

Food: Power bar while I was getting my oil changed. Morroccan Cous Cous dish, very large--cous cous is VERY high cal if you ever paid attention to it. Water, water water, crackers, plums, 2 very small bowls of cereal.

I'm going running!!!! For at least 5.5 miles at my favorite spot :)

Dinner tonight will be my friend's treat, Salmon over greens, my fav Mmmmmmmmh!!

Emo Update:

Power struggles. BF emailed me at 3pm after nothing all day, "missing you, wondering how you are. i sure do love you honey."

FUCK HIM! No he doesn't care how I am, he hasn't called (I don't have a phone anyway) and got mad and told me to leave him alone (in email) when I DID ask him what was up, and told him how I felt. Then he never answers except to say to leave him alone until he gets done being pissed off at me! Then this! Lucas said,

"I don't think that this is a coincidence.
I think he may well be sending you this love note now to keep you thinking about him on this busy weekend of yours when you'll have no time for him.

Keep that in mind. I think this fellow may be a crafty and skilled manipulator, but it's just a suspicion because I don't know him well."


I agreed. I answered "Ditto" and then the BF said,

"well, how are you then???"

Does that sound like a man who loves me, and cares? Sounds like a dom mad that his sub isn't groveling and begging to see him! :mad:

So I said, "up and down, tired"

and he didn't answer.


SIGH!

My friend said,

"Don't let him take control away from you. If he really loved you the way that you want, he would not try to control you. Please don't let him control you and don't face him like that until you are ready and you know you can hold your space. It could be as soon as today, in theory, but you absolutely need to know what you are going to say in advance and stick to the agenda! If he wants you, he has to give some of the power back."

I'm strong, but I'm weak. The best decision is to do all my weekend stuff and avoid him.

Plans: Tonight, dinner with friend. Then drive to the East Bay and sleep at my parents's house. Wedding in Oakland at 9:30am!!! :D Sleep there Sat night and Sunday visit my girl best friend and her baby. Sunday come back to work at the restaurant 5-9. Monday and Tuesday are my vacation days, BUT I'm going to San Luis Obispo to pour at a tasting event, then go out with the lady I'm working with, and then spend the night. I'll be back in S.C. Tuesday night for work Wed.

By then the fucker will fairly be sweating, and he may be open to hear my calm and objective speech about my new boundaries and what I need from him to stay together. And of course I'll ask him what he needs.

SIGH.
 
What in the world is BF angry with you about?! He's probably pissed that you didn't fight to keep living together, that you realized you'd be less stressed out having your own place. Honestly, when you leave him alone I believe he will come running looking for you. It always works that way. I've been treated like crap plenty of times and as soon as I give up and leave them and lose interest, they realize what they had and are desperate to get back together. You will end up having the last laugh I'm quite sure. But like you said, he's not a bad guy and maybe a few years down the road you'll run into each other again (like you did with the ex in SJ) and maybe things will have a second chance. I say you never ever know in life..

Kim, I wish I was closer so I could help you with the makeover. I have some really good hair people and you look like you've got some nice thick hair.
 
Its all so confusing sometimes isn't it? Emo's get in the way...life would be so much easier if someone could just say "this is what you need to do" you know?

I'd hate to see you end up w/ a controlling/manipulative person!! you've got too much to offer! Your strong, beautiful, focused...you deserve better!

Anyways, you'll figure it all out...until then, keep venting here, its good to get it off your chest!!

Hope you have fun tonight hun!!
 
"Thank you, BF, for being a dick and not letting me see you this week. I have found myself and started healing, and letting go of you, letting go of my unecessary preoccupation with what I perceive to be your irrisistable adorableness and boyish charm. In doing so, I hope that I will never get mad at you for failing me. I will become self-sufficient with my own resources and coping mechanisms."

I used to fear being alone. In less than 2 days, I realized I need it, but only after I spend time with people who truly care, for fueling up. I want to be alone and HAPPY, not alone and FRIGHTENED. And right now I can't wait to crawl into bed, nice and alone except my dear cat, and SLEEP and STRETCH!

Here here here girl!!! I hate seeing my friends going through the controlling crap that I went through and yet it is so hard to identify when you are there because you love them and think nothing of it...I was glad to read those last two statements - you put a smile onmy face Val:) head the advice of your friend all the way...he is telling you the right things, Im glad he is there for youa dn you are listening to him:hug2: :) :hug2:

Geez that's strong Val. I was just posting this week in another diary that not wanting to be alone is the worst possible reason to be with somebody (I guess if you live on a desert island with only 1 other person its OK). You summed it up really beautifully. You're growing a lot and it sounds like you may have outgrown the bf. You will find somebody who meets your needs. No reason to stay with somebody who doesn't.

It seems we may be a little high maintance...but ya know being strong an confident - especially when he have such strong forces pulling us down...is hard to maintane on an even keel...especially when those we love hurt of the most - it doesnt seem fair...also especially when you hold high morals and values and they arent returned to you

FUCK HIM! No he doesn't care how I am, he hasn't called (I don't have a phone anyway) and got mad and told me to leave him alone (in email) when I DID ask him what was up, and told him how I felt.

Head the advice of your friend:):):)Your b/f is acting like an ass and yes controllign and manipulative - enjoy your few days away from him and with your friends...I hope he squirms wonderin where you are and what you are doing and who you are with...

I also wanted to comment on your comment of being strong but also weak - it takes a strong person to admitt they are weak...you are one strong woman and none of us woman need men we jsut want them for obvious reasons - ha ha ha!!! ANyway Val I hope you have a great few days away...due to my conflict - I am staying a few more days with my parents on the island that I love so much...




I think you're absolutely adorable... as for the bf.... ummm.. you are absolutely adorable. HA!!! :hug2: I'm around now...

-Sheryl

I think the b/f is cute - Val posted some other pix way backa dn he is a cutie - also when the sex is great and the best you've had that taints your vision and makes it harder to let go...my sex with the x was the best Ive ever had...Im actually afraid I will never find comparission - whoever it is the interaction between the two of you that makes sex great and hot...

Continue being strong Val!!! And damn girl your rep!!!
 
Cerella, you amaze me with your thoroughness! Ha ha! Makes me feel like I'm entertaining someone with my vents :eek: I like that, trust me, better than making someone sick. It's just hard right now and I'd rather get it out, otherwise it could come out in bad ways...like hooking up with random jerks or somthing.....

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone!!!:hug2: I'm blessed to have people I've never met be so supportive just the same, and not just in weight loss :cry: Wow how melodramatic!!

Well, today I went to a WEDDING and ATE too much :( BLEH!! I had candy and it made me feel ill. The dinner itself was salmon, rice and asparagus, which was delicious and nutricious. But I ate too many rolls becuase they were good and warm, and had too much champagne and wine, which spurned the roll-eating. I know this, don't forget it, but drinking alcohol makes some of us inclined to over-eat bread, both of which are high-calorie and not nutritious. DUH! :doh: Bummer...

But the wedding was fucking awesome, the weds were high school friends and they both do competitive lifting, the bride can deadlift 315 lbs :eek2: She's Aremenian and the wedding was at an Armenian church in Oakland, and of course, I love Oakland, the Bay, I'm ghetto at heart, although I understand the socio-economic hardships and wouldn't necessarily want to live in an actual ghetto...I still think Oakland has a wonderful vibe to it, one that if I tried to explain people would just disagree with me :rolleyes:

Anyway, I am in a coffee shop and this evening we're going to San Francisco to party a bit. Drinking water, trying to stifle the urge to munch mindlessly, which is difficult after a day of drinking and eating, ya know?


Perhaps I should mention the BF.

So Friday I had dinner with my friend Suke. Even the damn bartender knew something was wrong, and bought me a beer--pretty transparent, eh? My dramatic ass. *waggs head in shame* Anyway, Suke and I talked and talked, we're good friends and I never knew he cared so much, and he also told me about his own issues with a girl he's in love with. Well I went home to go to bed, and I turned on my laptop to check email before bed (what an addict!), and as I was reading Lucas's email about how it was probably best to leave the BF, I IMed L. because his IM was on. Low and behold, it was BF on the other end (he was over at the old house with Brian and London, Brian is there until the 15th).

I wish I could post the conversation, but it's proably too private. Bascially he said he loves me, hw missed me, he was mad, but he was wondering if I wanted his company that night. It hurt so bad, here I was trying to affirm my declaration that I don't need him, and I can suffer through the agony of not having his company, his kisses, his touch, his sweet nothings....i cried and cried while I typed because I didn't want to say yes or no. Our convo went on and on, I guess I can put snippets:

"you dont have to say yes
i wont be offended
i'd like to see you, sleep with you, smell you and snuggle with you, and not be all pissed off or anything"B]

"I want that too....but I don't know if it is healthy for me...I don't know if I should"

"if it doesn't seem like something that should happen then i wont come over, dont worry!"

I IMed very evasive things, and told him I was just sad and crying. I couldn't bring myself to elaborate, and I didn't feel like he deserved to know my headtrips, my pain, my anguish. I was still honest, though. I was just plain sad. :(

"look i understand if you'd rather not have to make a decision one way or the other
i can level with the idea that you dont want to invite me oer, but you dont want to turn me away, (or something?)?
like if you think its not going to be constructive or pleasant for whatever reason, it's ok and i love you and i'll see you as soon as you want to"


I asked him what he really wanted. I wanted to be sure of what the fuck he was doing.

"i want to come sleep with you, and snuggle with my chubbuns"

"Chubbuns" is a variation of the nickname I gave myself for him to call me when I was heavier, "Chubby Bunny." Actually, I would have been Chubby Bunny on WLF not Curvie Girlie, CG was my second pick because CB was taken but I've never seen the bastard! :mad: Anyway, I like it, and he uses it as enderament, although mostly he jusgt calls me Bunny. I was a bunny for Halloween, after all

Uh oh friends showed up, gotta go!! BBS
 
As a funny aside, although it may not really be funny, on some level it is:

Just saw my ex-heroin addict friend's baby's daddy, who recently got into a whole lot of trouble in a drug-crazed relapse. He pulled up his shirt to show me the wounds and bruises, and.....so you can see what East Bay sububanite burnouts are like, here's the convo:

A man and woman in thei early 40s said, "We want to see! Oh what hapened??"

My friend said, "Cops beat the shit out of me."

"what did you do??" the lady said

"I was running down the street on acid, screaming that I was going to kill someone," he said.

"Those days are over for me!" said the lady
"Psycho fucking cops," said the man, wagging his head.


LMAO!!!:rotflmao: Seriously, though, the cops in this town (my hometown, not Oakland) are bored and crazy--abusive. Nothing better to do. Santa Cruz cops are cool, trust me! :D

ANYWAY.........

SO I couldn't really bring myself to tell the Bf he could come over.

Part of me was wanting him.

Part of me was humiliated because I had talked to 3 friends who told me to not see him until I had extablished ground rules, terms, etc....or to just leave him altogether!!!

The fucking IM window was overlapping the email Lucas sent, telling me I should just leave him. It was very weird, indeed.

I expressed increduality over his declaration that he missed me, and he said,

"i also knew i wasn't in a position to interact with you in a civilized manner
i wasn't pleasant, so, i was absent
i would have continued my rant at some point, something not worth doing,
i think i may have been too harsh and you've obviously suffered unneccisarily for it..
i dont mean to make you miserable, when im mad and say shit to you
i just mean to give you cause to really think about something..."


Me: I think that I'm hurting really bad still and I don't think I'm strong enough to talk to you....and I can't handle unpleasantness or any anger if you have it
but
I would love cuddles


"thats all im proposing"

and I'm scared that I would be.
cheapening or lowering myself
I don't know if you'd respect me on a subconcious level


"as in, bending to my whim "cheapening"

yeah

"i grok"

But guess what.....he came over. We cuddled. He wept a bit and said he had "taken for granted the great priveledge it is" to sleep with me. He apologized for over reacting to me asking to spend the night when he was mad at me. He apologized for a lot, but slowly, not like he was just doing it, but like he genuinely meant it. We were intimate, and it was wonderful, but I noticed that cuddling felt different, it felt good, but not in an all consuming way. I suspect that I'm getting over my unhealthy feelings toward him, and am ready to move on. AM I ready to leave? No. But I refuse to sucumb to unhealthy patterns.

Anyway, the wedidng was excellent, and I'm going to have to work off some of these excess calories the next week!! I need to get ready to go out, now!
