This can be our QOTW -- or weekend, or into next week ...


Where are you in real life?  School life, home life, work life, family life, personal life or "other"? Oh!  And how could I forget - love life (I don't have one LOL)?  What are the challenges that face you today?  Besides food and weight ;o)


Regulars, newbies, lurkers welcome :)

I am an environmental consultant. I've been married for 4 years (on 9/14), so we're leaving today to celebrate our anniversary for a week in Hawaii. My dh and I are in the process of moving to a new house and when we move, I get a puppy! The biggest challenge I'm facing in life right now is dealing with my past so that someday I can be a good mother (no kids yet though).

Do you consult for companies wanting to build on certain sites?

Hey:
I am currently in an emotional tug a war with a guy named Joe who doesn't know what he wants. I am also working as much as possible and I am about to start classes in 11 days. I am attempting to study for the LSAT which I plan to take in December.

Hi again --


Try to take a step back from Joe & take an impartial look at the relationship.

Hi:
Thanks for the advice. I am trying to be impartial but it is really hard especially since I am falling really hard for Joe. I don't even know how he feels about us. Does he want to just friends or does he want to attempt to make our relationship work on a more personal level? I never knew it was going to be so difficult to work in a restaurant while suffering from an eating disorder. It turns out Chris and I are okay after all or atleast that is the way he is making it come across. I am sick and tired of not knowing whether I am coming or going. Sherry the one who trained me informed me Chris is proned to moodswings so the best you can do is bite your tongue and just adapt to however he wants things done when he wants them done. Little does she know that is a lot to ask for out of someone as outspoken as I. You are right between school, work and studying for the LSAT I haven't had a lot of time for self reflection. I am hoping to finish the last two chapters in my book LSAT practice book and still have time to try and figure out where Joe and I stand even if it is just as friends.

Yes I am physically attracted to Joe. I haven't quite decided if it is love. I am so scared of my heart being broken again that I don't think I want to put my feelings out there until I am certain he feels the same. I have asked him where we stand are we just friends or do we have a chance at something more? Each time he is uncertain of what he wants. I am doing my best to not make Chris (my bosses) outburst personal. As far as the whole ED and work thing. I met it is difficult for me to go through a shift without showing signs of my ED (i.e. Throwing up or not drinking etc.). Well a ton of work awaits.Talk to you soon.

Hi there,


I don't know how long you've known him, but try to get to know him a bit more, invite him to join you when you and your friends are going out or hanging out, etc. Generally, when someone does like us and is interested in being more than friends, they make time to be with us and seek us out. Does he call you to talk? Does he share his thoughts and feelings with you or are your conversations all neutral? Does he ask you out? Or do you have to do the asking out?


Good luck with the LSAT and with your boss!

We have known each other for about a few months. We both email and confide in each other. He has asked me out just as much as I have asked him out. He asked me to call him so we can make plans to go out. My boss is doing his best to find me more hours based on my school schedule without taking hours away from other employees. Please try to get out and enjoy the weather.

I was just hit head on with a challenge...I posted last week and could I open up my computer and see if anyone out there responded to my e-mail. I feel so alone in my struggles..not a lot of support or groups here in the area.

How do you hold a 55-hour job, relationship...everything else ...yet spend so much other time thinking about how to end the struggle.

My challenge is to become so small that no one can reach out and hurt me anymore.
