She's not straight asking me to drink but she is putting me in tough situations because that's where she wants to be. She isn't exactly happy with my physical transformation either. I told her I would workout for her if I could but I can't. It's sad because she is stronger than she thinks. She can be the person she wants to be.

I told her yesterday that I wanted to join a running club so that I could socialize with healthy happy people more. She didn't like that but I can't keep waiting for her to fix herself. I'm still going to do it. Maybe she'll decide to start coming with me........
