Eight Fears.1. Snakes. Anything that can move on land without feet totally creeps me out, and that includes worms. And how they float in the water? Shudder.
2. Gaining all my weight back. And then some. Even when/if I get pregnant, I'm terrified of gaining all my weight back that I worked so hard to loose. I know it's a natural process, but I have a feeling I am going to dread stepping on the scale when I get pregnant.
3. Horror Movies. 'Nough said.
4. The end of the world. I don't know why, but I get super freaked out about this. I just like to believe the Bible that no one knows and therefore, I won't know. It will happen when it happens.
5. Controversy. Seriously. If I'm around you and you start arguing with someone, I make a run for the bathroom. I'd rather not say anything than have someone argue with me.
6. Loosing my family. I know people die, and that's just a part of life, but I get really scared about loosing all my family. I don't have any friends, really, my family is chock full of my best friends, and I'm scared about what's going to happen when they aren't here.
7. Getting to the point where I can't be independent. I see Mr. Skinny's grandma and how she has to depend on everyone to help her out. And while her family is more than willing, she still gets frustrated that she can't do things herself. My dad, too. He recently hurt his back and can't do much for himself. I don't ever want to get like that.
8. Being an awful parents. It's not the getting pregnant part that scares me, because I know that's in God's hands. It's the I could be an awful parents part that worries me. That's all in my hands.
Tell me:
What is one of your biggest fears?
I also fear re-gain! I think that's normal for anyone who has lost weight. I also think that a healthy amount of fear of regain is what is going to keep me from having that fear become a reality! I'm not trying to get pregnant (the OPPOSITE, actually) but whenever that days comes (if, I should say), I am sure that I will be just as scared of regain and being a bad parent as you are!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest fear is all things medical. I hate going to the doctor, I especially have a big phobia of things entering or leaving my body via a needle or surgery. I very rarely get my blood drawn, and if I do, it's usually under restraints and with some valium. That's how bad it is! If I ever have to have surgery and/or stay in a hospital overnight, the mental health wing better be really close to my room, LOL.
I do fear re-gaining my weight. Sometimes I feel like I am one binge away from gaining it all back. With that said- my biggest fear is having something bad happen to my husband and/or daughter. I try really hard not to let my mind go there.
ReplyDeleteMany people have told me that if you are afraid and scared that you wont be a good mom/parent then that means you will be (a great mom).
ReplyDeleteI have a fear of bees. YUK!
I completely agree about the controversy fear! I extremely dislike debating, especially political arguments. They make me feel very uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid of puppets. Not all puppets, just a lot of them.
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled on your blog and read through your TTC posts. TTC was one of the most frustrating experiences of my life, especially because pregnancy symptoms and PMS symptoms can be pretty much identical. I ended up buying a Clearblue Fertility Monitor because my cycles were so crazy. It'll all be worth it to have a baby, of course. I hope you are successful very soon!
