That’s awesome that you scaled that hill. Katie and I would do that when we were in San Francisco and then do the same thing as you and look back at what we had conquered and then rejoice. Of course, there’s not much of that to be had in Illinois where the hills are non existent.

may seem silly but I’ll tell you the truth. . . I always worry that people will look at me eating alone and think, “That poor fat girl has to eat alone. Maybe she should be out exercising rather than eating.”

i have started to take a really REALLY good book every where i go and that helps… i also never go the same place twice…. if a waiter asks i sometimes lie and say i am traveling so they leave me alone… but i am starting to learn to enjoy taking time for me that way

Yes! The past paragraph…that sounds like a great plan. :)

Who amongst us ISN’T tragically flawed, for real?

I always wonder why I let myself talk to me in such a horrible way. If anyone else talked to me that way, I would never stand for it. I would definitely never talk to anyone else the way that I talk to myself! It sounds like you are the same in that. You are a beautiful person, both inside and out. I love that you are taking steps to be more kind to yourself…you certainly deserve it!

I’ll continue the “you’re a hottie” sentiment, ’cause you are.
My lovely wife has been taking these herbs that help her quiet her restless mind at bedtime. I’m glad you are trying new things, a friend once told me to “go a different way once in a while lest you not see what is out there.”

Awesome post, reminded me of something a friend once told me… “I’m not perfect, but parts of me are pretty awesome!”

Funny about the eating alone in a restaurant thing. I used to feel like a total loser when I did that. But then I realized that if I see another woman eating alone, I immediately think of her as self-sufficient and perfectly comfortable being with just herself! And I actually envy her! Perception is a strange thing. We so often perceive ourselves weaker than other people do.

Not that I’d EVER choose to dine alone over with someone, but I realized if I waited ’till I had company to eat out, I’d NEVER get out.

So I go out often, and I bring a good book and I have the cheesecake for dessert and a nice glass of wine. Not nearly as much fun as when you have someone to talk to but it sure beats eating another Cliff bar.

I’m the same about the restaurants… the exact same.

And about a few other things too.

Again, I think we’re related.
