Try to remember that when you're feeling disappointed by the scale. We're all cheering you on!
Thank you, Maddie.
I'll try that and see what happens for sure.

It's emotional really. I didn't start feeling bad until about Monday or Tuesday but it's kind of getting to me. I sort of got "dumped" again because "IDK maybe you just aren't my type". It's not a big deal and I'm not making it into one but in my head, one thought keeps echoing - "Am I anyone's type?"
I feel like I need to fill more of my time with productive, interesting things. But I get home from work at 5:15, I take care of my puppy, I jog somewhere between 6:00 and 7:00, and then I'm just dead the rest of the evening. So I start thinking, "Who even has time for a life?..."
I don't really drink so I guess that makes me somewhat "boring" to a number of men my age. I read, but I have a hard time focusing so I'm not uber reader but I'm still something of a nerd. I watch movies but not enough to keep up with cinephiles. I jog but, again, I fall between "OMFG Olympic runner" and lazy guy. I don't know how I keep falling between boxes instead of into one... I'm a hard to define sort of person, largely logical and laidback, and it doesn't seem to be working for me... I quite honestly feel like a blank slate, like you could easily nickname me "Zero" or "Null" or "Nobody Special". =/
So I'm considering picking up a musical instrument or something, anything to feel fuller than I do now.
