FullaBella's Journal, 25 July 2013

You'll be absolutely fine! I'm so excited for you, time to yourself is hard to come by and TWO ENTIRE DAYS AND NIGHTS is like Christmas, your birthday and a new car all at once! LOL! (or so it seems to me, but I haven't been alone in my own house more than an hour in at least 3 1/2 years) 

Good for you!!!!!! I'm so happy & excited for you! I can't think of anyone who deserves it more! So glad you're be in the extra special suite & hope you have extra special service & an extra special time, my extra special friend! While I wouldn't want to do it all the time, I have grown to love eating alone -- you can eat mindfully as slowly & intentionally as you'd like. I always take a book, but thats me & doesn't work for everyone. You have grown so much & deserve to celebrate and indulge! xoxoxo  

You certainly have earned it, with way more than just the weight loss, ENJOY!  

OMG that's SO freakin' exciting! I am incredibly delighted for you: Glad you found the balls to take care of yourself and that you felt that you deserved it and did something about it! You will have a wonderful time. Time to reflect and ponder and meditate and listen to the waves, to get a massage, a pedicure, lots of good stuff. Oh Bella dear I am delighted/ecstatic for you :) You so deserve this! Proud of you.  

Good for you! I'm so jealous. I can't even pee alone these days I would love two days at a spa. 

WOO HOO! How exciting! I have never done this for myself and just marvel you are going off to a resort. That is just incredible news! I am excited for you! WOW! I feel so proud of you! 

What a fabulous way to celebrate! So happy for you :D 

Absolutely Fabulous! Sound like an awesome vacation!!!!  

I'm so glad for you. Better I indulge you than indulging in less-healthful choices for myself! You'll be celebrating my birthday that weekend, too!! I'll think of you and send up a prayer of gratitude. 

Hey, stay away from that liquid courage! :) 

Thanks everyone - Yeah, Colly, it is like a huge thing for me compared to so many people I know here who travel all the time AND it's been long enough off the corporate road warrior track that I can appreciate staying overnight. It does have me thinking I need different luggage - something I plan to journal later about 'baggage'. Angel - this is the same resort where I discovered visual fulfillment so I'm intrigued to go back when I feel stronger. Sandi - I'd invite you and your three voices along but I think with my 6-12 inner voices at any given time we'd probably need a bigger suite, LOL. Isabel - I love how you phras-e things.. yep, I grew a pair, LOL. DFW - I don't even have kids here but am convinced our toilet seat has a sensor on it because the minute my backside hits it my name is called out, someone needs something or the phone rings - it's freaky. I may even take a newspaper with me just to try it the way they do in the movies. M2B: I'm actually thinking about that too in a second guessing sort of way and may journal it later; some of the excitement of going away wore off and now I'm thinking about how to better utilize my time away and resources. Evelyn thank you - you'd think I was going to Italy huh :-) RubieSue - yep, wish it could be a week but I'll take what I can get. Ce - sure, you bet. On the list of vices I probably rank pretty low, huh. Sava - oooooh, okay.... LOL. I may have a cocktail over the weekend but not before dinner; last time I did I couldn't even taste or enjoy the food. Thanks again everyone. 

That is fantastic!!! So glad you are getting some YOU time!!! You deserve every bit of it!!!  

Lovely! What a wonderful time you will have on your own. 

@Puma and Susan 0 thank you - yes, I'm really looking forward to it the way kids count down the days to Christmas. I do need a break! 

Well done, Bella. I hope you have a WONDERFUL time. And I'm sure you'll do brilliantly with the dining. 

Great news! Enjoy your well deserved rest.
