It's tough, but you can definitely handle it.<br /><br />I'm glad that Chris could go with you for the first hour. That sounds like a great idea and I really hope it is helpful for the two of you.<br /><br />Good luck!!!Maevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809093475778397477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780058410537977838.post-49544191881526449382010-01-13T09:04:39.893-08:002010-01-13T09:04:39.893-08:00that is SO awesome! no purging!

That says a lot; he is a great guy! I think everyone fears they will be the "biggest" one there... just remember that 1) you'll certainly feel bigger than you are, and 2) exactly what Cammy said - a person's size doesn't reflect the seriousness of their issues or the extent of their suffering.

I am so glad you have a supportive husband that will go to things like this with you. I think it totally counts as a date, because y'all are spending time with one another in a way that shows love and caring. Hang in there, remember that a person's size does NOT reflect how much they're suffering or how valid their issues are, so comparing yourself is just a mind game. I really hope that this goes well, remember that you may not necessarily connect on the first visit, give yourself a chance to adjust!Cammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181004571609998125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780058410537977838.post-58654649879396480442010-01-12T14:38:51.140-08:002010-01-12T14:38:51.140-08:00Yes to part 2.
