Is This Insight into a MLC Mind?

[Bystander]

Came across this blog randomly today, and was really enjoying reading it ... until I got to this post:

http://courage-to-live-my-best-life.blogspot.com/2010/05/independence_18.html

The blog profile still says she's married (with 3 kids), but she did lose a LOT of weight (as part of a 12-week challenge) in 2009.

This is the post that worries me:

I have spoken in previous posts about how I have lived most of my life not really having enough faith in myself in many areas and how I felt that I didn't ever really know who I was or for that matter... LIKE who I was....

I’m sure I’ve mentioned my tendency to rely on other people for that feeling that I was ‘ok’. I’ve explored the whys and wherefores of these insecurities and I don’t feel the need to rehash them all over again. But its suffice to say that they have restricted my growth for a very long time.

Its interesting to note here, however that although I am aware of these tendencies, they are, I think more obvious to me than they are to others. On the flipside of them, I have and continue to appear (to some) to be a strong, confident individual with an outgoing personality. Historically, I just never let people all the way in, lest they saw that I really wasn't all that they thought I was.

Anyway, over the past several months, I’ve felt myself slowly ‘take the training wheels off’ (and I’m sure I’ve even used this phrase in several posts). And by this I mean, I have been slowly letting go of the dependence I have had on certain people to give me strength and the belief in myself that I was 1. capable and 2. worthy of the massive changes I undertaking both inside and out.

In fact, I was actually starting to give myself the shits because of it. Time to change... stat.

I am a strong, independent woman and I have so much more to contribute to this world. I'm really excited about the rest of my life and what I can create for me and my family, especially my kids.

Which of your wives could have written this?

I hope I'm wrong.

It didn't take to get to that post to shee what is going on. Major physical change. Major re-evaluation of her life. MLC or just a transition? Only the husband could tell us that. Other than one short quote about a man and the support he hives and a mention that she is married, husband does not seem to be a big part of anything in her blog. She seems like she is definitely heading somewhere that is probably going to be bad for her wolrd but perhaps revealing for her.

Yeah, the more I read, the more uneasy it made me feel.
Ugh.

Hubby will be on here in 6 months wondering what the hell happened.


She will start looking around at the house, at her kids, and at her marriage/husband, and thinking "is this all there is??  With my new body, I feel so young again, so emancipated...and yet so constrained...why am I feeling this way?"  Then some asshole will spot the MLCer from a mile away, whisper sweet bullshit in her ear about how beautiful she is, and how there's only one shot at happiness in this world, and you need to create a life full of joy and fulfillment...that you owe this to yourself, blah blah blah with the sole intent of getting a piece of ass.

Alea iacta est--the die is cast.

She will also determine she needs a boob job....

the weight loss, totally my alien.

This woman needs to leave her kids and husband and go find herself!
She's got a new body, she now needs a new life and an OM! STAT.

Sometimes a large weight loss is not what it appears,sometimes it a weight transfer,,from big ol but to head. unless she has had surgery it will come back...sooner or later
