There are friends in our lives that have been around so long ~ that somehow they find it acceptable to just pop in unexpected. I will admit that as of lately I have turned my back on them and have neglected them like the plague. Not kind of me, I know. But have you ever had those influences in your life that just aren’t healthy? I will admit…for a long time I made them a huge part of my life. I spent crazy amounts of time with these friends and even loved some of them in …well… unhealthy ways. Only because I’m trying to clear my conscious here that I will even go as far as to admit that I have visited MORE than one of these friends in the late hours of the night. Maybe looking for some type of comfort? Maybe a good time? Whatever the reasons…..I gave into them this past weekend. Believe me when I say that after the weekend was over….I didn’t feel good about myself. The guilt of our no holds barred weekend weighed heavy on me…and even more so on my evil incorrect number spewing pal ( who I’m convinced rounds up to the nearest 5 lb just for the fun of it. ) ! The next time my so called friends Beer, Burgers, and Bakery stop by unexpectedly…..I’m refusing to answer the door.
Enough bitching…off to the gym I go.
I suggest a padlock
…back to the gym woman!!
Ya know what, Holly, we all have days like that. But you are handling it in a healthy way; accepting you did it and not using it as an excuse to completely forego your new way of life.
Good for you!
There is a reason my wife and I live hundreds of iles away from relatives – nobody “just” pops in because they “were in the area…”
seriously, i had no clue where you were going with that. i thought the “friends” were some swingers or something! i’m a little slow…
Denise…yea,I like to confuse others with my humor! ~ LOL
Hi Holly,
I am with Anne…lock your doors:) Ha ha, it is time to get back on the good girl train:) Hang in there…one of these days you will not crave the things that are bad for you!!
Hmmm…I just ate two burgers for dinner and the ice cream is calling to me from the fridge. Guess I’m folding under the friend-fluence!
I struggle with this all the time. One day this week I had 6, yes SIX, haggen das ice cream bars. In one day. WTF! I felt like shit the next day. So not worth it, but I guarantee I’ll do it again sometime in the future.
Work hard play hard I guess.
Oddly enough, new friends will show up and stick around…it just takes time for apples, peanut butter and veggies to seem like good friends
