I am not having a great time handling all the stresses that keep being thrown at me. My subconcious is telling me "great job Molly, keep it up". I have my friends and co-workers telling me that they can see my progress, I am losing weight, looking better, my attitude is even apparently gotten lighter. I am enjoying life, that hasnt happened in a long time. Then I have the other part of my life, my significant other, telling me that I am bringing him down. I hear comments like, "you know you might as well not even do the Estes Park marathon. You wont be able to do well. You know, the altitude is different, there will be hills and the road will be what you are not used to." Thanks for the support honey. And, oh, Molly, the Estes Park thing is on Father's day, you truly dont intend on being there for that day??? My goodness, I will have ruined his day by attending this on the biggest day for him.
I had discussed these plans quite some time ago, both with my husband, and my parents, who will be here that weekend. I was going to go early to Estes, do get my packet of info, and do do the walk. My family would meet me there after the fact and we would spend a nice day in Estes Park. There is a really cool restaurant there that serves this awesome brunch. I wanted to take my dad there for fathers day, after all, it is his day too. But since I will be ruining my husbands fathers day, I guess I should re-think this, and not be so selfish.
I need to remain strong, keep up my work and not let things get me down so much. But it is so hard.

I say go and do your thing. You are doing great (Jill and I were commenting on it yesterday) and it is OKAY to do something for you. You can do the EP! You have given up your life for others for a long, long, time. Ron can just stop being so selfish. He isn't your father so let the kids hang out with him and off you go!
People aren't much different than dogs. If you let a dog beg and annoy you when you dine, you'll never have another meal in peace. You can either get rid of the dog or teach the dog that it is worth his while to quietly let you eat.
I'm not saying it's easy, but this is an excellent opportunity for you to prove to your husband that he can support you and you will, in turn, be sweet and supportive of him. Tell him that you plan to celebrate Father's Day in Estes Park and that you know you can count on him to support you. Then follow through.
I truly appreciate all of the support.
