He's really trying to help me. It is very true that my "fat" armor is gone. I'm trying to deal with it.<BR/><BR/><B>Chuck~</B> I know how tough it's going to be. I wouldn't consider myself depressed, just confused. Luckily, Mr. Sign and I are talking more now than we ever have.<BR/><BR/><B>Cicilian~</B> It's hard when people assume from the outside that everything is perfect. I think that makes us try so much harder to keep it all together. <BR/><BR/><B>Snowelf~</B> Putting our personal stuff out there sometimes helps. Thank you so much for your support.<BR/><BR/><B>Sarah~</B> I'm working hard to make this therapist work. I'm not sure there are many therapists who have much experience dealing with someone who has lost more than 200 pounds. It's hard for him to understand. He is trying.<BR/><BR/><B>Kimmy~</B> Thank you. You rock!<BR/><BR/><B>Stalkermom~</B> How sweet of you!<BR/><BR/><B>Jon~</B> I really do know that my problems have no comparison to others. But, like I said, they still need to be dealt with. I hope you are well. Miss you!<BR/><BR/><B>Yippeeskip~</B> This is why we get along. We've both been there. :) Thanks for being here for me.<BR/><BR/><B>Cadbury~</B> You were one of the first people to mention the fat as armor. I never bought into it until the weight came off. You were never more right. People now notice me. There is no hiding now. I just need to learn how to deal with it. <BR/><BR/><B>Susy~</B> Thank you!<BR/><BR/><B>Savage~</B> You are awesomeness all rolled into a tidy package!<BR/><BR/><B>~</B>SignGurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637199338513235368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17159042.post-13495500432214707132008-10-05T21:38:00.000-04:002008-10-05T21:38:00.000-04:00You got me, doll.

I know that when it finally hit the fan in my life. . . . and it all looked perfect from the outside. . . . I saw a counselor. It helped me to reaffirm my thoughts which had become all jumbled up. It helped because I really needed to talk to someone, and at the time could not confide in friends. <BR/>I hope you find someone who can help you sort things through. <BR/>CiaoSicilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04478918266290454362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17159042.post-50963260866878418912008-10-04T12:14:00.000-04:002008-10-04T12:14:00.000-04:00BTW,Remember this -- if you're depressed (or your ...BTW,<BR/><BR/>Remember this -- if you're depressed (or your partner is depressed) you have to first fix the depression.

The RIGHT therapist can make a world of difference. The wrong one... can't make life even more frustrating!!<BR/><BR/>By the way, I would say that it compeltely normal for you to have to completely reevaluate everything after this huge transformation. It must be a huge personal struggle for both you AND your hubby?!<BR/><BR/>Particularly for you, there is no hiding anymore. In many aspects, your armor is gone.<BR/><BR/>No one likes confronting their demons, but it's really the only way to move past them.Nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04408544489524626997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17159042.post-24034723775542726602008-10-04T09:36:00.000-04:002008-10-04T09:36:00.000-04:00Hang in there, God Bless!Hang in there, God Bless!Monahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615034229525061880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17159042.post-65015635892560278822008-10-04T02:41:00.000-04:002008-10-04T02:41:00.000-04:00mental health is just as important as physical hea...mental health is just as important as physical health. you have to do whatever is necessary to keep yourself some form of sane. i don't look ahead either. for me, it's one or two days at a time. <BR/><BR/>i hope that counseling can help you a bit. it helped me a lot when i went through my divorce. sometimes, you wonder if they really know what you're feeling. especially if they say, 'and how does that make you feel?' but talking to someone outside of the situation can be good. <BR/><BR/>if you're not commenting or not visiting, i know you're taking care of yourself. it's what you should do. you know we are all here for you and will be around.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365631315923740004noreply@blogger.com
