  • Ok, so I am going to post this before I go to bed because I am like SUPER excited!!...Y'all remember me telling y'all about the guy that I went on a few dates with? well he didn't work out too well....we had nothing in common but playing the Wii...hahaha....fun right?....well it was but kinda got boring and trying to hold a conversation with him was like pulling teeth.

    Day before yesterday someone from my past came across my profile on a dating site BUT didn't realize it was ME!!...hahaha....we emailed back and forth for several hours (still not knowing we knew each other) he told me I was beautiful from what he could tell because my picture was so small, so I told him I could email you a picture if you would like. He said he didn't like stick girls...haha....and my face looked then, I told him I was 5'8 and weighed 250lbs he said well it doesn't matter to me. He said I believe you and if you would like to call me here is my number.....SOOOOO YES I called, he let it ring several times before picking up. I was WAITING for the answering machine to pick up then he answers...Hello? I said I was just waiting for the machine to pick up cuz I was going to say give a girl your number then not pick up with that and he says OMG...GIRL what are you doing? and I am like OMG I KNOW THAT VOICE.....BUBBA???...he said there is NO WAY that is you in that picture you are SOOO SKINNY NOW....hahah...I said YES its me I've loss 140lbs....we talked for 2 hrs on the phone THEN......he came over for awhile. When he got here he said I was attracted to you when you were bigger but NOW...WOW......OMG....try to keep me away.....lol...... We had crossed paths in the past but one of us was either married (me) or him in a relationship. We have ALWAYS been attracted to each other and to find me the way he did is just crazy. He said I AM NOT LETTING YOU GET AWAY THIS TIME...YOU ARE MINE!!!....SOOOOOO guess what????? I HAVE A BOYFRIEND NOW......hahahahah....LOVING LIFE RIGHT NOW!!!!....oh yea and I went to the mall today and YES got a HEART charm!!!

    Oh Wuv, you made my day, truly. That is so wonderful! Brought tears to my eyes. I don't know you, but I am so happy for you.

    I have felt, for so long now, that I was done with love, but who knows what could happen in the future? It is wide open now...
  • Good morning everybody!

    Today's goals are to walk another mile, figure out and write up index cards with my go-to snacks for Phase 4, so I can reach for one and not fret about it. Try black rice for dinner tonight. Try making TVP oatmeal as a snack...not sure about that one, but apparently it can taste just like regular oatmeal but with lots of protein and little carbs. It's worth a try anyway.

    Then I really need to get back to the house fix-up projects. I have been overwhelmed with the phase-out process the past couple of weeks and I'll never get the house listed for sale if I don't get this work done.

    Happy Friday! Hope you all have a lovely Spring day...
  • Awwww Wuv! Crying this am! Things makes my heart sing! Congrats Girl!

    Everyone have a great day! I have a WI tomarrow..... looking forward to it!

    That is so wonderful! I love your confidence. I've been waiting "until I lose weight" to get on a dating site. I know, I know, if someone loves you they love you no matter what, but it's how comfortable I feel - and I won't feel comfortable or confident until I get my weight down. If I had Wuv's confidence I'd be on it in a flash! Good for you - that feeling of excitement - there's nothing like it!

    Wow!! That is just so exciting!!! I am so very happy for you. No one deserves to receive love more than you, as you are supporting and providing your special love to each of us.

    Naturally, we want to hear the details of this romance, as it unfolds. I am an old married lady and just adore a good love story! I have to share your latest story with my DH, he already knows about you and your progress. We're all rooting for you.

    Best,
    Chloe
