Dear Diary Sunday...

It has been a wonderful weekend.

Saturday, Dylan and I got together and saw "Monster" and I agree with Connie, one of the best movies I have ever seen and if the lead does not win an Oscar, I would be totally surprised. We then went to a few places and did some minor shopping (Wild Oats, Media Play, etc.) and then went to Chili's so that I could get some fajitas that I had been craving. We then did a bit more running around and then back to Dylan's house to watch "House of the Dead" which we ended up turning off as it was the WORST movie that people have ever spent money on to create. Not even a good pair of boobies were in it!

Today has been shopping day with the folks. We went to breakfast, Costco, Petsmart, and Wal-Mart. We finally just sat down and had incredible home made hamburgers and I am stuffed. Thankfully I am not going anywhere for the rest of the day, as I reek of onions! And with the trip to Costco and Wal-mart, I now have enough fruit and vegetables to feed a small army....yum!

One thing I have noticed in the last few weeks with changing my lifestyle and getting more energy is the lack of support you find in other people you are surrounded by. I have witnessed it in family, friends, and co-workers. I get the snide comments of, "Well, we would ask you to lunch but we know you are DIETING" or "I would have picked you something up, but I know you are DIETING". Let me clear the records, I am not dieting. I have made a very conscious decision to change my life for the better and for many, many reasons, none that I am going to share at this point in time. And with changing my life, that does not mean I can not eat out. Believe it or not, you CAN eat out and still eat healthy. I also can have "bad" stuff once in awhile as well. I am not sure where the lack of support has come from, as I have always tried to be the "cheerleader" for everyone else, but I wish I knew. However, even though I am bothered by it, it is not changing who I am or what I am doing. I am thrilled with what I have accomplished and what I will be accomplishing in the future. Those that love me, are always in my corner and giving me the love and support I need. Those that aren't, I wish them well on their journeys through life.

Positive thought for the day: Judgements of others are not a reflection of who you are. Sometimes they can be the failings of other people. Allow others to have their bad moments, and love them regardless, for one day you will ask the same in return.
