Good morning
I've cancelled going for my weigh in this morning and am very tempted to change around some of todays work. We had a power surge yesterday evening, and I didn't reset my alarm clock properly, so overslept this morning and my little one was late for school.
On top of that, I had a horrible experience yesterday which really shook me up and led to a dreadful nights sleep last night (nightmares) so I feel just awful this morning.
I was doing a few jobs in an unfamiliar town and popped into a 99p shop for a few bits. I could feel someone staring at me and when I turned, the starer walked past me and growled. I turned to check, and he was staring again. I walked down another aisle, and he was waiting for me at the end. I changed aisles and he was waiting at the halfway mark, growling. I stopped to look at something, and he walked past me, growling. This carried on and wherever I moved, he seemed to be there with his intense stare and awful, low, growl, and if he wasn't there, the anticipation of seeing him again was almost as bad. In the end my nerves got the better of me and I dumped my shopping and fled back to the car, terrified that he was following me. I was almost hysterical by the time I got back to the car and this is totally out of character for me. I know that nothing actually happened but this shook me so much I felt ill.
I know it is nothing like the truly awful experiences that some women go through, and it was in a busy town centre in the middle of the day, but it shook me to the core, and I am shocked at just how frightened I was. Goodness know what I would have been like if it had been at night or in a lonely place.
Sorry, I've rambled on a bit, but I really needed to get it off my chest. Despite still feeling sick I managed to eat a few of my son's chips he had after his rugby match last night, but am determined to get back to SSing today.
I hope you all have a great day and stay focussed on shifting those pounds for Christmas.
