I’m not quite sure how to suggest that we do away with the “book” part of the club. I’m not sure how they all would react if I brought it up.

We all need a “rager” from time to time! :) Happy Friday.

It was so gracious of Rachel to join us via Skype. She mentioned you too were having your meeting tonight and my friend Sari said she knows you well. We all really enjoyed the book and everybody seemed to find something that really stuck with them. Happy reading and hopefully we’ll be seeing Rachel in Hawaii soon. a hui hou, Ana

]]> Comment on The Hard Facts: Weight, Weight, Don’t Tell Me by Amy http://mwfseekingbff.com/2012/02/22/the-hard-facts-weight-weight-dont-tell-me/#comment-18666 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 00:55:29 +0000 http://mwfseekingbff.com/?p=3850#comment-18666 My Bestie and I are about the same size, heavy considered “obese” but both of us are active, her in her work and me with two kids, and she’s a couple inches taller than I. She is not one to look for reassurance on anything, but once in awhile she will complain about her weight (it’s mostly from blowing out both of her knees) and she truly sees herself as ugly. She hates pictures of herself (I LOVE photography and take a lot of pictures of friends, family, and daily life!) and she was perturbed I used a beautiful picture of us as my facebook photo because she had to look at herself! The thing is, I see her as beautiful. I love her so much for who she is and what we have, and she has a wonderful loving husband, that I tell her whenever she brings this up how much I love her regardless. She admitted she feels the same, if only we could see each other through the other’s eyes once in a while! I try to convey that to her as best as I can.

I also had a very thin and petite coworker once complain to me about shopping for pants and the difficulty she was having. I was like, “Oh yeah right! It’s hard for you to find clothes?!” But yes, because of her proportions she had troubles even though she looked just fine. So it’s not all heavy people who have problems with their bodies.

I’ve met some fantastic people online by total coincidence and I keep thinking how lucky I am that things happened the way they happened… but then I also think about the many awesome people out there that I haven’t had the luckto meet (yet) and that opens up unlimited possiblities.
It’s amazing to see how similarly groups function and how easily you could see yourself fit in with different groups. Sometimes though ,it also feels like you can never get into an existing group of friends… no matter how much you try.

We are also reading the book and have book group tonight, Thursday February 22. What a funny coincidence! Our book group meets in Kailua. I didn’t think to ask because of the time difference and our group doesn’t really get going until 7 pm. I loved the book! I agree living in Hawaii forces you to put yourself out there with making new friends only to find them leaving and having to start over.
Brit

There is something so unique about great conversation and the cohesion that comes from being a part of a group like that.
