My old best friend called me yesterday and asked me to go to a meeting and lunch with her. She talked a bit about the meeting but I did not talk to her about my feelings about what she did. I still want to talk it over with my counselor first. I am nervous about spending time with her but I've gotten over most of the anger and hurt so I think I can handle it. I am going to go back to the meeting Wed. even though there is going to be another discussion about the women with the babies. I am not going to chime in but I will vote for the ideas proposed. I have been feeling a bit more depressed lately again I think partly because of what happened with my old best friend. I need to develop a stronger routine of prayer and meditation and spiritual development. Going to church is definitely a step in the right direction but I missed church this Sunday because I almost fainted on my way there because my blood pressure was 95/55. I stopped my last blood pressure medication the next day. I am going back to the doctor on Thursday to see if I need a lower dose or no medication at all. I have stopped all my blood pressure medications and all my blood sugar medications. She will be shocked and probably not too happy that I did that without checking with her. I will be thrilled to show her my 52 lb. weight loss. No small feat! Today I weighed 202.5. Still working towards 199. It would be great to make it by my doctor's appt. on Thursday afternoon...

Girl, look at our awesome progress! Your Dr. will be ecstatic. What happened on Sunday had to be scary and I hope you find out the meds aren't needed anymore. As for the friend thing - I hate when that happens but I've been stabbed in the back too. At leasst she hasn't turned her back on you. Maybe the invitation was her attempt to ease the tension. Hang in there, be kind to yourself becasue you've got a lot going on. I'm cheering for you!!!

I can just imagine how excited you are to go to that appointment to show her your weight loss. And if your blood sugars are testing at relatively normal numbers, your doctor will be thrilled about that too. Fifty-two pounds is awesome. Way to go!

Congratulations on your fantastic loss. Nearly fainting, and that low blood pressure is pretty scary, and I think you're probably right to stop your blood pressure medication. Often our bodies let us know the right thing to do re. our medication. Hope your doc' sorts you out, and I bet she'll be amazed at your new weight. ________________ So sorry to hear about the problems you've been having with your old friend: the ones closest to us know how to hurt us, and their betrayal has so much more capacity to harm. Stay strong, and listen to the positive voices, both internal and external. We are all here for you.
