You're right. I'd just like to remain friends with him. I guess if we can't be though, what's the big deal, right? I mean after all, I wasn't friends with him previous to this.
I met a really nice guy a little over a month ago. We've talked on the phone, texted, IMed, & emalied several times. He's even traveled quite a distance twice to come see me. I enjoy talking to him & have fun with him. However, the feeling's just not there for him. How do I tell him this without making him angry? He's told me several times that he really likes me. And I want to like him because he's so nice. But if I'm not feeling it, there's not much I can do about it. I can't force myself to feel something that doesn't exist. What can I do?
I'm so excited! It always seemed like every dieting vise/tip was top-secret. You all have helped not only to give me wonderful tips, but to motivate me INCREDIBLY!! Hopefully, I'll be able to post pics of my progress.
I used to walk every day when my daughter was a baby. And I lived in a 4th floor apartment & was afraid to use the elevator. Thus, I was very thin. I want to start that again. I'd also like to find a bike to buy & start riding.
I already have a membership to a gym about 3 minutes from my house. I guess it's about time I start using it, huh?
Thank you sooooo much! That sounds very similar to the advice a coworker (who looks absolutely great!) gave me yesterday.
I honestly don't feel comfortable at the weight I am right now. I've never struggled with weight before. I could eat whatever I wanted & not gain. But I can't even look at food now without feeling fat. And everyone telling me I'm not doesn't help. No, I didn't mean you, sweetie. I just know that I'm not at my ideal weight. I'm not extremely over, but would be so much more comfortable when I reach my goal.
I'm trying to lose about 15 lb. This is pretty tough for me because I've really never had to diet before... any added weight just came off eventually. But as I get older, it doesn't seem to want to budge.
Please share your ideas, recipes, secrets that I might be able to follow. Also, any exercises to take the weight off & firm up.
That kind of describes my philosophy. The way I see it, you do have a fate. However, in that fate, there are many forks in the road. The path you choose, while still being a part of fate is still largely up to you.
Never regret, for everything happens for a reason. I'm not crazy about my choice of marital partners. But without him, I'd never have had my wonderful daughter & adorable grandbabies.
Are there any "what if" moments you'd like to share with us? Is there a time you think may have been a missed opportunity because you just didn't do/say the right thing or take the right course?
No concrete plans for tonight. Playing it by ear. Tomorrow, at some point, I'll be taking my father out for dinner, as I do every other weekend. Then Sunday evening, I have to work tending bar. Fun fun fun!!
But sassy, there are different scenarios. IMO, that man who is collecting disability had to have worked hard & thought about his future in order to be collecting SSDI. I dated a man on it. He wasn't out of work by choice. I guess that's the difference right there, those who choose to work but can't either because of the economic slump or disability. And then there are those who choose not to work, such as my ex-husband. Not a cent to his name.
I have no problem, BTW Virgiomonkey, with making my own way. But I'll be darned if I'm going to fully support a completely healthy able-bodied man again. None have supported me either.
