Mother in law got back on a plane today to return to Texas, and I was thrilled to see her go. I know that sounds mean, but there are some things we just didn't want to expose her to, and one of those things was our BDSM lifestyle. It was interesting enough watching her try to wrap her mind around poly, we didn't want to rock the boat too much. It would have been no fun if she had a heart attack while up here...lol.
She accepted the poly fairly well. I think it helped a lot that we did not, at any point, make excuses or apologize for how we lived. All 3 of us presented a united front, and showed her how we made it work. She made sure we knew that she didn't like it, but she did tell us that she loves us all regardless of whether she agrees or not. That was a plus, I guess...lol.
So it was a week with no playtime, no real structure, and none of our typical lifestyle moments. It was not fun... but we made it and it is pretty much back to normal around here. That makes me a happy girl.
What does not make me happy is the fact that the woman at WIC yesterday made me feel like crap because of my weight. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I was actually a full blown bulemic by the age of 9 and I didn't actually come out of that stage of my life until I became pregnant with R. I promised Master when I was pregnant with R that I would never binge and purge again, and I have kept that promise for over 4 years now. That doesn't mean, however, that I don't struggle with the bad thoughts. Thats why diets are dangerous for me, because I become obsessed until it is no longer healthy.
All in all I am proud of myself for the steps I have made and how far I have come. I will continue to heal myself in that regard, and as always, will do so with Master's help and support.
A little bit later I will post some pics of me, Master, and Kit.... provided I get Master's permission for that.
Laters!
