That Widow

Day 71 and here she comes playing the victim like I knew she would and 76 pounds gone!

So I didn’t respond back to my mom and then today she calls and she’s like are you sure you don’t want to go to the wedding? I said, oh I’m going I’m just taking them all with me. She’s like well what? I said I can’t just back out, that’s not only rude but this man and his soon to be wife have done so much for my husband, me, and our boys. They check on us at least once a week. Like just because you suck does not mean I’m going to continue that trend. She starts in about me and my smart mouth and I said I have to go, goodbye. She then starts texting about how I blew this way out of proportion and she just wanted to know what time I would have been back. She’s still not getting it so I told her I handled my situation, she made her own choices, I’m not going to talk about it anymore. Just over the whole situation, and again nothing new or surprising about her and her toxic behavior. What is different is me not accepting her behavior and allowing it. My kids act better than her.

Todays weight update; I have successfully shed 76 pounds. I’m not done and I don’t live or die by the scale number but 76 is something to be happy about and celebrated! My body thanks me, I thank me, my mind thanks me. It’s been a journey to consistency. So often I want perfection but that’s just not possible, and that’s ok, that’s life, but I am consistent in showing up for myself and I love that!

Day 71 and I’m still standing just like Elton John sings about.
