Flame Free Friday, anyone?
I need to vent.
Valentines Night I couldnt sleep and in the middle of the night my BF said something about my weight. It was a bit of a stronger statement, but I dont want to go into greater detail about it. Anyway, it struck me to the core. Though he meant it to be very sincere and out of concern, it still hurt and now Im feeling uuber vulnerable, shamed and self-concious. Something I have not felt around him until now because he has always been so "I love you for who you are, not what size clothes you wear".
Anyway, here I am, three days later, still licking my wounds, trying to figure out how to feel comfortable around him again.
FWIW - I had gotten into a fairly good habit of eating (somewhat) better and going to the gym a couple days a week, but with a full time school schedule + work+ my son, I've been super stressed and let that fall to the wayside. I told him about a week ago, I had planned on focusing and getting back into the groove of things after this semester is over.
Re: Flame Free Friday, anyone?
That's tough. I once had a BF tell me "You're thin, but you're so WIDE." and it still sticks with me. I think about it whenever I'm trying a new outfit on or feeling particularly yucky about my appearance on any given day. What matters is whether or not YOU feel comfortable in your own skin. Let him know that he hurt your feelings and then do your best to let it go if he's worth it for you.
Life is a gift. Be Happy.
