i have to finish what i've started part 2

Hey hf2006,
Here's something I had to look through some of my diary listings for. I had someone else tell me about their social anxiety also and here's my response to her:

Social shyness is hard to deal with. The only thing I can say is that, do you even remember everybody who you pass on the street? No, probably not. And besides which, you don't even care about these strangers so who cares what they think. If you don't know them, and you don't care about them, then you shouldn't allow them to affect how you feel about yourself. The only person you should allow to have that power is yourself. **gets off soapbox**
 
Thanks Manaloa... all that you said is very true. It's something I have to work on. I know that I will be able to get over it one day but until then I need to remind myself of that. : )
 
Dinner went really well last night. They were both really nice people. Sadie (my husbands new friends wife) was very talkative which made it a lot easier on me! :) Danny and I got there about 30 min early so we would be seated before they arrived. That made it easier on me. After dinner we went bowling and for some reasom i was on fire! I bowled a 144! I've never bowled anything higher that a 70 in my whole life so I was happy. All in all I am glad we went out with them but I am glad that the first meeting is over. I can relax a little more now. I'm just glad they were both so outgoing... it made talking to them so much easier. :)

Here's a sad story... While we were waiting at the restaurant we had to wait in the little room leading to the waiting area because it was so packed. The only problem was is that it was super hot in there. The other people waiting in there with us moved into the other room when a seat opened up and called us in there to sit with them... how nice. When they were called to be seated they came back minutes later. It turned out they were being seated in a booth and the woman was too large to fit... it was so sad that I almost cried.

So is it written somewhere that if your spouse can't sleep you are obligated to stay up ALL night with them!! hahaha Ok, now I am tired because Danny couldn't sleep so he kept me up until 3 am only to wake up at 5!!! This is going to be a long day. I have a big exercise day planned with my mother in law due to a very bad eating weekend!!! Still no weigh ins for me. I have given up on the scale and am doing quite well. I will weigh in on friday though. I would hate to wait too long and find that despite all my exercise I have mysteriously gained 10 lbs!!! hahaha... I doubt that will happen but I am afraid!!!! Okay... I have to get some stuff done before my mother in-law exercise bootcamp starts...hahahahaha!
 
Danny and I just got back from his work friends house. They had us over for dinner and I said NO to cheesecake!! This is one of my absolute favorite things so I shocked myself...haha. YAY for me!
 
Today is really gloomy. It rained all last night so not only is it sad looking outside it is humid! Even though it's gross outside I still got up to exercise:

3 milie walk
30 min stationary bike.

Feeling better now that all of that is done!
 
YAY!!!!!!For no Cheesecake!!!!! Now taht is some Will Power!!!!

Good for you on the exercise. Even though you did not want to you still did... Have a AWESOME Day and drink that WATER;)
 
Hey Hf2006, just browsing through all I've been missing out on. Congrats on the whole restaurant-success-new-friendsship-thing. You did great!
On the other hand I can relate, I am not very good with new people, but I think I am getting better... I hope so, because I'll be starting a new class next week (luckily, I won't end up alone, some from my old class will be with me)
But about the whole eating in puplic, I have that too, but more in big cafeterias and such... I haven't found the cure (maybe it'll come when I feel more comfortable with myself), so untill then I just avoid it....
I must say, I think you are awsome with excercising, and I salute your mother-in-law, sounds very nice and as a good support. About your mother, I hope you reach your goal. I have the same "conflict" (to put it mildly) with my sister, and whats worse, she is a hairdresser and makes artifical nails, and addicted to fashion (so unlike me) So... I roote for you!!!
Well have a nice day:)
 
I have social anxiety too, it's tough but you did good:) Anytime I'm faced with new people or a new situation I try so ard not to back out...sometimes I do, but when I don't, I feel sooo good:)

Congrats!
 
JellyBelly88- Thanks for the encouragement! I drank a lot of water today!! :)

Mahatt- I have big problems with cafateria type places but most of all BUFFETS!!! That is like torture for me..hahaha.
I know what you mean about my mother in law. She really is the best. Her and I were talking about how we wanted to lose some weight so we decided to workout together and we've been kicking each others butt every day since! She knows how bad my mom makes me feel about my weight so she really wants to make sure I'm feeling good about myself for the visit. (Two months left!!!) I'm sorry about your sister! It just makes you want to lose the weight that much more right?? If anything at least it's a little motivating. :) You're doing great though!!

KIno- I'm sorry that you have social anxiety too although it is nice that you understand what I'm talking about. I had to keep myself busy to not freak out before hand. I probably would have backed out if it weren't for my husband really wanting to go. :) Hopefully this is something we will overcome when we are happy with ourselves.
 
Exercise done for the day...

Walked 4 miles
Stationary bike 30 min
weight trainings 60 min

Now... when I say I walked for however many miles I'm not talking on a treadmill or a straight rode... I mean I walked on a road with lots of hills!! LOL.

I am soooo tired right now. I think waking up at 5 am everyday then working out for so long is really starting to kill me... lol. In the end it will be worth it!!
