Im kinda surprised to hear you are going weekly. Maybe because of summer breaks and stuff, but i thought you were at every other week, for financial reasons and just to be slowing down. So honestly, i think she would offer to skip a week more out of consideration for your preferences.

I hear you about the validation though. I was telling my t today, i cant believe i didnt swim more this summer, but i just couldnt. Part of it was, i hate being fat and getting so tired from being in the sun, but mostly its about being fat. Hes like, other people arent looking at you. Im like, yeah so you say, but they are, but thats not even whats bothering me - its how i feel - everything is difficult - walking around, getting in and out, etc. Im just tired of being "cheerful" about it all.
