How my journey began:

     Two years ago I broke up with a man I loved. (Doesn't it always have something to do with a man?)  I think my relationship with him warped my already damaged psyche because I decided I just did not give a dang anymore. I filled that empty place inside with donuts. I didn't even notice men. They may as well have been invisible.

     Now, here I am. 235 pounds. Bigger than I was when I was 9 months pregnant. My feet are about to shatter from carrying the pounds they were not used to carrying.  I am literally suffering under all the blubber. My body is suffering and my mind and soul are suffering more.   I slowly began to get sick and damn tired of it. THEN......

     I noticed a man. I wanted to flirt. OMG... I actually got excited about the guy who came to hook up my cable internet. LOL! He was attractive and I noticed!!! Of course, being an amoeba kept me from even making eye contact with him. So I decided if I were my old size I would be able to be the woman I used to be and actually feel good enough about myself to get a D-A-T-E.  (Wouldn't you know it would have to do with a man again?!)

     I don't wanna be skinny. I wanna be voluptuous. I want everything to still be round and supple. But, I want to get in shape, get strong, get a job as a cop and catch bad guys between catching "GOOD GUYS" for myself. lol. No I'm not a ho. It's just been two years and I'm darn tired of it.  So, here I go!!!

welcome

Hi Betty,  Glad you came to join us.  I know you can do this and we are in it together.  Remember we are worth it and we deserve the best.  No more being grateful for less than we deserve!!

you GO

I can tell you're going to succeed and I can't wait to see it happen!  Tell you what, I think you should flirt every chance you get, no matter what size you are.  You just NEVER KNOW who you might be flirting with.  You might just get a date out of it!  It's about confidence, and that's what people are attracted to most.  Go for it.  What's the worst that can happen from flirting with the cable man?  He flirts back and ends up leaving without a date, but you still feel silly and happy after he leaves because flirting feels good.  Cable men everwhere....Prepare to get your flirt on! 

Thanks ladies!!

I am determined!!   Leah, thanks for telling me about this site!! We are definately in this together, 'sep fer yer already a hottie!!!

Kache, it's nice to meet you!! Thanks so much for the encouragement!! I may just start flirting with whomever I want to, and see what happens. :-)
