Men, Boys, Thugs & More

I want to digress from the weight loss topic for a moment--although, I will come back to weight because I believe everything is related to weight...See when I was 300 lbs my self-image suffered more than my ever-expanding waistline, my rubbing thighs and my poor burdened ankles. My weight kept me from seeking out quality men. In the past, I have settled for the boys, thugs and the scum that resides on the muddy Timberlands of those thugs. Twisted Evil

Yuck!

So after losing 110 lbs, I am dating better. Like my food choices, I am making better choices in men. I am not taking the crap I used to take. I am having fun and meeting new people all the time. I have an online singles group with more than 240 members called 30+ City Singles. (Secret: I wasn't even 30 when I founded the group...hehehehe Laughing

)

But seriously, this morning I am feeling moved by the events of this past weekend. A man I met a little while ago is showing symptoms of what I will call sincere admiration. (I think he really likes me. Razz

) And the thing is, he's a nice guy--AND I LIKE HIM TOO! Embarassed

So if I disappear for a few days--don't worry--I haven't been kidnapped. I've taken a few days off to put my baggage away. All the heartbreak, all the abuse, all the disappointment--it's time to store the suitcases in the attic. It's time to start fresh. I need to be a clean slate to prepare my heart for something that will be an amazing experience.

He is a thin (but nicely built) guy who wouldn't have approached me at 300 lbs--am I bitter? Yes. But that's part of the baggage that I am packing away. Am I secure about his "sincere admiration" for me? Yes. Do I worry when other women approach him? No. Something is very different...and I am loving it! (Without a question, I know its my confidence.)

In short, he is spectacular in so many ways, and a computer techie--so he will remain nameless--as he will probably locate this blog. (For example, he googled me the day after we met. Rolling Eyes
