Emotions are down - just need some support.

Body: 

I've been pushing myself with walking and maintaining WW posture and lt. wts., etc. Motivated to lose a little weight and all. Maybe I'm trying to do too much. POP is not as scary as in the beginning - I'm just not noticing a big change. My self-esteem feels kind of low around this - I've shared with a select few in natural health industry I work in and am still surprised none of them have ever heard about this. I just keep knowing things will improve. One herbalist said it took a long time for it to get like this and to be patient. There's just so much - I have an old boyfriend I've known since I was 6 who I haven't seen in 30 yrs., who recently called and wants to get together. I want to, yet I'm feeling sad about my body. I'm grateful this place is here for me to share - I've been staying so positive and today's a tough day. Thanks all. Dreamer8

And if that aint true then I want what you're having! Seriously, what drug if any are you taking??? lol!

I'm grateful this place is here too. Its a nice soft place to fall when we feel like falling. Hugs to you Dreamer8.

May I ask, how long have you noticed your prolapse? Have you gotten and used the WW DVD? I plan to purchase the new version when I'm further along postpartum.

In my personal case, its crucial that I remain positive but yet, allow room for steam so I don't explode into deep depression. Support is vital to our well being. Sometimes I feel like God somehow misplaced the correct female blueprint when taking the rib out of Adam. Then again, our Creator designed our bodies, therefore I know we can heal.

Stay positive. On bad days, rest as much as possible. Hang in there, we're here for you.

Hi Fruitful

No, I don't think she misplaced the blueprint. She may have just underestimated what a woman's body has to deal with at times. ;-)

Hi Dreamer

OMG, this sort of random phonecall only happens to other people. Of course you must follow up on this man, even if only for the friendship. We all need more of that.

(Puts on Aunt Louise hat...) Now just remember, take baby steps, don't jump right in and always be prepared. Be prepared to be realistic, be prepared for disappointment, be prepared for a man who is interested for the wrong reasons. I have a 70 year old female friend who nearly fell for that one a year or so ago. Be prepared for the best experience of your life, and be prepared for safe you-know-what, when *you* are ready. My guess is that you feel like a teenager with a great big Zit. Poo-bah! If he expects you to have a 16 year old's body, he's in for a surprise, and my guess is that he is like all the other blokes in the world, not particularly interested in what is wrong with your body, just that you'll agree to see him, and accept him as he is, with his middle-aged body too! Enjoy!

Cheers

I appreciate your response. I have been talking with this old childhood frient, boyfriend, etc. for a few weeks. My heart opens so wide, cuz, well, since age 6 I've known him. Our talks have been interesting - healing in many ways. I do believe he may still have alcohol issues. I've dealt with enough of that in my life. I haven't spoken with him for a week since he's been on a trip. I've separated my emotions somewhat and am planning to be very careful. Our earlier plan was/is for him to come see me in calif. in July. I'm having mixed feelings lately because of my physicality and emotions. I think you're right on with your last line. I'll do the best thing. It is a sweet story. We have come full circle. TY again. Dreamer8

Thank-you for your support!

I first became aware of my pop in Feb. this year. Actually, as I look back and shared with a new healing practitioner Sat., it was after I had one a 14 day organic body cleanse. The healing acup. thinks maybe certain herbs contributed to the pop.

I have book and DVD. I've done some of the exercises - carefully - some trigger another old knee injury.

Thanks for your reminder on the steam release - I appreciate.

Hangin' in. (: Dreamer8
