Yes. I’m at home with the boys all the time and that does limit my conversations with others. As far as the gym. Funny, tomorrow is my first day at getting back into a workout program. Before kids I was fit and lean. I ran 3 miles every other day and did a lot of swimming and yoga. I also ate a great diet. I felt much more physically connected with my husband then. Now, let’s just say not happy with the way I look at all. It definitely makes me feel depressed when I look at myself in the mirror. Unfortunately, I turned to convenience foods and let go of my healthy diet. My husband is not happy with it either. My goal weight is 115. I have about 30 pounds to loose. Ahhhh!
I have a few friends that I talk to but it’s not for very long. My husband also complains that I don’t have very intellectual conversations with him, which makes me feel stupid. I know I’m not but sometimes I do feel that way because I’m talking and playing with children 3 and under all day. Does anyone have advice on how I can improve on this area also?
I asked him about joining them for drinks and he said that he was fine with that as long as I line up a sitter for the boys. I don’t know, I would love to but I also don’t want to make him feel like I’m only doing it to check up on him (which, let’s be honest, is what I would be doing). I think I should be fixing the real problem instead of having to be reassured. I want to feel okay with him going out, even if there is other woman there. I want to feel secure enough with myself to know nothing will happen. - written 7 months ago
