Melancholy
I’m having the kind of day Timmi* here is having. I hate when that happens. Normally I’m a pretty cheery kind of girl, but this week has been tough. I recently found out a friend wasn’t as…authentic as I believed her to be, and that’s sad. There are a lot of things I’m not (rich, thin, educated, etc.) , but you can count of me to be as honest, trustworthy, and real as I can be. Authenticity is important to me.
Okay, so what am I doing about it?
Absolutely nothing. Borrowing from MizFit’s Monday message: I’m not the problem.
Still, it’s sad to see a friendship fade, so I’ll allow myself a blues-y day. As long as it doesn’t involve climbing into bed with a box of Little Debbie’s Swiss Rolls and pulling the covers over my head, I think it should be okay. :) Besides, since tomorrow night is manicure/rest night, tonight is my “last chance workout” before the big assessment on Friday. That will be a big emotional energy booster, even as it drains every ounce of physical energy from my body. LOL
I hope you’re all having a Wickedly Wonderful Wednesday !

*Timmi is my favorite gibbon at the Memphis Zoo. She appeared to be so sad that morning. I honestly think it might have been some sort of primate PMS.

checking in on you.
I HAVE SO BEEN THERE. and it is a tough one, huh? one which totally is NOT about *you* but aches none the less (unlike, say, someone telling you that your new business plan will definitely fail. that sh*t is easy to shrug off/realize is THEIR issue).
sending you uplifting vibes & am honored if I helped in ANY way.

Timmi is pretty darn adorable.
That's really too bad about the friend. I hope you're feeling back up to your regular cheery self soon.
It's always sad when friendship comes to an end!
first of all... (((cammy)))
It's always disappointing when a friendship is not or no longer what you thought it was.
From what I know about you, it's his/her loss, you know. You're a great blogging buddy and friend.
hugs
My thoughts are with you. Hope you get through this funk soon.
Bleh!
Yeah, I hate that feeling... been through it a few too many times; from the girl in 7th grade who decided I was "too weird" for her to "be popular" if she hung out with me, to the woman who only stops by to see me if she thinks I'll pick up the tab for dinner...
Hope you feel better soon.
ya know I wish we belonged to the zoo .. our zoo here charges about 10 bucks a person to get in I think it might even be more than that.. they have zoo memberships for like 80 bucks.. I wish we had a reason to be members.. I used to live right near the zoo and go their often.. .. well as far as being meloncholy .. u r right as long as it does not involve anything litte debbie well then you are fine... I have had friends like that.. and truth is .. you are better off with out .. than with someone who does not value you.. hang in there!!`
Its good you learned about that friend now before you invested more time & effort into the relationship. Its always sad when relationships fizzle. hang in there, you will be back to your ol self in no time.
Stay away from Little Debbie, she may be a cheap yummy comfort but the "little" in her name is very deceiving. I can send you some pics if you want =)
Even though it isn't funny, I'm laughing hysterically at the primate PMS reference. Guessing that isn't the missing link.
You are one of the toughest people I know in the diet world. By tough, I mean you don't resort to the easy, old habits and always inspire us to not do the same.
Sorry about the fair weather friend.
Sadness, Disappointment, Feeling of Betrayal. Broken friendships are so difficult. Knowing that you haven't changed or caused the problem isn't always much help.
Walking in forgiveness is so hard yet is the only way through and doesn't involve little Debbies or anything except the menu and exercise you had planned before this let down.
I ditto Grumpy Chair. You are strong. A little melancholy is no bad thing unless you let it take rest and snuggle in.
It's rough when you find out a friend is not as good of a friend as you once thought. I hope you get through your day with a little ray of sunshine here and there. Although it's sad now, it's better to find out sooner rather than later. You deserve better!
i just started reading your blog. glad to know i am not the only girl sturggling with there weight.
sorry to hear that your friend did not hold up to who they said they where. hope you are having a better day.
Sorry to hear about the friendship, it's a horrible moment when you realise that you're just not as good friends with someone has you thought.
I do walk to school with a bookbag. With a laptop bag technically (I don't go to school, I work at a school, so I use it through the day) which can weigh a fair bit.
I've also had one friend who has let me down and proved to be less than sincere over the past 25 years that we have known each other.
We are still in touch (sort of) but only by e-mail. Meeting up usually proves problematic.
I *sooooooooooo* know where you are coming from on this.
Best wishes,
Sharon
I'm so sorry you are down-in-the-dumps. Sure hope it goes away soon. We are counting on you to keep us in stitches. So pick yourself up and get with it gal.
Hang in there!! I was there a few weeks back. It really is sad to have a part of your life fade away even when you realize it really wasn't what you though it was. It's still sad to see it go. I still struggle when I see this person. Smile, new friends will come your way. :)
it'd thursday now :)
hope today is a better day!

I was feeling the same way this morning and reading Pattie's blog at "Attitude Changes Everything" got me going again. We are all faced with challenging situations...it's what we do about them that separates the winners from the losers. Good character always wins the day in the end and a better friend will come along. Look at all the friends you have right here in blog world!!!
You have a Wicked Wednesday yourself, girlfriend!
Oh, Cammy, I'm so sorry. It is so disappointing and painful when "friends" like that show their true colors...and yes, it is definitely her loss. And I am so proud of you for acknowledging that she is the problem, not you! But it still hurts, I'm sure. I hope things are better very soon.

People suck :(
aw I hope you cheer up! I have had situations like that with friends and its hard, but its probably better you know now and dont waste any more energy on something that wasnt what yo uthought it was.
