Good luck! It's good that he wants you to meet the family . guys usually don't want to do that unless they are serious.

so the meeting of the family went well, they loved me so should be pretty smooth sailing from now on. I have a quote on my Facebook page, one day you'll meet someone and realize exactly why all the others didn't work out. thinking that might have happened since this is the first person ever really that I don't have to censor myself with, its a pretty nice feeling.

hope things con't to go well with your man athinnerdenise.

They often give you 7 days free. Just be sure to cancel soon enough.

Send out a bunch of emails during that 7 days and see if you get any

replies.

yes, that is right. if they pay and you don't , if you send them a message it will say "you have a message, pay 39.99 (or whatever it costs)

and join now so you can read your message.

I often paid for just a month and quit after the time was up. It doesn't take 6 months to start corresponding with someone who interests you.

missy, when i decided to sign up at the begining of june, i did opt to sign for 6 months, only because pay for 6 get 6 for free if you don't meet anyone and of course follow all the criteria to stay eligible for the offer, so imagine my surprise when I met N a little over a month into it, am I out some extra money, yes, was it worth it, totally! ( and to of course have a pessimistic moment, just in case the profile is still there just hidden if things don't work out, but they will.) As I mentioned in an earlier post I was very very picky about who I would spend one of my precious evenings off with and N was the first one who got past the email/phone call part of it.

Starting to wonder if I should check it out. LOL

I have a few guys that I see; truth is, I am not all that interested in one person right now. But, if it was THE guy, someone who just fit me, then I could be persuaded to change my mind.

Missy,

Good luck on your date! I kissed A LOT of frogs to find my prince, so worth it to wait though till you meet the right one.

Wow, not only was it one of the best dates I've had in a while but he kept me laughing all night. We both had a wonderful time. I haven't been able to get this smile off my face since last night. He told me he can't wait to go out again and has still been so consistent in texting and calling me since we met. As in the past, I'd go on a date and they acted all interested before and during the date and then afterwards they would rarely call. We'll see. I don't want to get all excited so early but I just have such a wonderful feeling about him.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
