Well the item for yesterday was :look at your body and see what you like and be glad you are alive.
I did find this hard.
After my op I bumped into my ex-fiancé ,I was just telling him about my op which was radical (DIEP)and he backed off down the road!!Ever since,I have been everso shy of dating again.
it is hard for me to write this but I thought I would just mention it.But I don’t want to upset any newbies.It is just me and I am everso self conscious and shy so it wouldn’t happen to everyone by any means.
but there it is…..XXX
Back in the Autumn I planted this pot for Puzzler. It had been several weeks since we had heard from her and I knew daffodils were her favouŕite. I hoped that perhaps her old laptop had stopped functioning but it is now several months.....So ladies these flowers are for Puzzler. I'm sure she will see them whatever the circumstances.
Take care all.
Love Karen
Lacomtekp thats beautiful and I often think about puzzler myself. I remember her planting bulbs, in her garden. I wear blue mascara in her honour most days ( blue mascara was her favourite)
Violetsniff don't feel like that, you are such a pretty person. Men are illogical when it comes to breasts, never mind an operation on a breast. You always seem very pretty to me xxx
So cute, Lacomtekp, I hope that appreciates it, bless you.
Violetsniff, I can understand you being shy and finding it hard to deal with what has happened to you, but you are a lovely person, so please don’t ever think negatively about yourself!
Hugs xxx

Violetsniff I'm sorry you feel so much negatively. I think we all understand the reservations & negative thoughts you have and feeling your body has let you down. Remember though any future partners you meet may have the same body insecurities.
Lovely flowers for puzzler. I'm sure she appreciates them x
A lovely thought Lacomtekp. I wish Mac could somehow let us know when members have died.
Violetsniff, sorry you have this body insecurity. Thoughtless and cruel reaction from your ex at just the wrong time. Not all men are like that xxx
Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
What a beautiful thought to plant the flowers for a past member of the group. I hope she has just felt better and moved on from the group rather than that she has passed.
Violetsniff, please do not feel insecure about your body because of the stupidity and lack of understandingbof an ex. There was clearly a reason he was an ex! I still have a blue breast 5 and a half months on.If my husband doesn't like it then tough. It is a record of what I have been and still am going through.
You can tell that after my meltdown on Tuesday I am feeling more positive today. That is very much due to the wonderful support I have received from you on here and also the lovely walk I had this morning with Tired Minion.
Lacomtekp gorgeous flowers, I’m sure will enjoy them wherever she is Violetsniff I feel very much the same, I know people say we shouldn’t, and they’re right we shouldn’t, but I feel self conscious too, it is early days for me admittedly and maybe my confidence will grow but I do empathise xx
