Today I ran into a friend I haven't seen in a while...and realized the list of people I still haven't told is longer than I thought. It includes some important family members, as well, that live here.
It's getting more obvious that I've either gained exceptional weight around my mid-section (a late in the school year beer belly) or I am pregnant. I can't imagine running into these people showing and saying..oh yeah..by the way. Or worse yet, someone else telling them. At least family shouldn't find out that way! I keep putting it off because I fear their reactions.
A good friend of mine told me this sort of thing brings you closer to true friends and further away from people who weren't. I have seen that already as it brought me and my best friend (sister) since kindergarten closer than ever. We had drifted over the last ten years and now we talk almost everyday and it feels right. Listening to her is like hearing a piece of myself...it's no wonder we were joined at the hip growing up (my dad says). But it also has put distance between me from another dear friend.
But what about family?
