feeling disconnected
I have been feeling disconnected lately, I don’t know why. I have to make an effort to connect with friends family etc….I don’t know if it is because I am exhausted or if because I am so disappointed with myself for the weight I have put on and not been able to get off. I finally caught up with a friend of mine that I hadn’t seen in months until here lately. It felt good and I missed her. I just don’t know why I do it….
and now I have done it here on BS, I have distanced myself by giving up the Diamonds. I don’t hear from most of my fellow team mates anymore and it makes me sad, I know it is part my fault for doing the distancing thing. I have joined the Wildcats, but I don’t know what my problem is, I still haven’t put my full effort into that either.
I will get through this I know it…I know it is a bit of a whiny blog, but just felt the need to write it anyway…

I can relate…Im sorry for how youre feeling. I think I disconnect sometimes because it’s easier to avoid people than it is to put on a happy face and pretend youre ok…thats me anyway, dont mean to assume. Hope the skies get brighter soon for you. Just hang on tightly
I think it might be your icon!! Have you watched Pooh?? Oh bother.
Ok, prolly not, but I thought maybe you would smile. Ever hear the phrase “fake it til you make it”? Sometimes your emotional state is just not going to cooperate with what you need to do. Once you get moving and feel better, your mood will improve too. Kind of bass ackwards, but it works.
hmm, maybe make a goal to reconnect with…3 people each week? Sometimes I think we need people, we need support even outside of weight loss. Otherwise you are like a tree with no roots…
ok that was corny?
Hi
I am sorry for not staying in touch with you either. I mean we have been on the same teams and all you would think we would do better to stay in touch. Some days it’s just hard. chin up and smile today is a new day.
I have spots on the ROCKSTARS for DIAMONDS TO reconnect
Lys - I am feeling the same way now, maybe it is just the time of year! Luv ya beautiful girl
I know exactly where you are coming from. I have so many great friends that I have lost touch with over the years. I get so upset with myself and sad thinking about how close we all once were. But friendships are bonds that we need. Maybe its just being from the south, who knows but I believe all women need girlfriends to lean on and help you through the tough times. True friends understand when we drift away for a little while, but they will be waiting when you come back. A few months ago I took a weekend off and took a roadtrip 3 states to catch up with some great friends, one I hadn’t seen in several months the other in a few years. The trip was so fast and so short, but I am very greatful I did it and reconnected with those friends. Just take small steps a call or an e-mail and you are on your way
Its all about highs & lows girl. We have to ride each one of them of out. Anyone who is a true friend knows this and will be right there waiting on ya.
I know it is tough Lyssa…we all fight the good fight and then somehow it is like switch has been turned off and we fall off the wagon…not just with eating and exercise but with everything in our lives…I do it too more then I would like to admitt. For me a turning point was learning to put my needs first then everything with everybody fell into place. I also miss the old team and I wish there was a way we could have kept it together but you needed to do what was best for you. I hope you feel like yourself soon…so some sould searching figure out what is really important to you.
miss u!
