edited 'body type'

I'm on a couple of online dating sites since about June of last year. It was hard, but in my profile describing body type, I put in 'normal' or 'average'. I still wanted to put in curvy but I'm not..I just felt that way.

So this week, I finally went ahead and put the correct body type in my profiles. In one I had the option for 'petite' and I clicked on it, and in the other one, I actually clicked on 'slim'. That's really the more accurate type for me but it's not easy to admit to it. Man...I wish my head would catch up to my body.

Anyway - I am currently very pleased to have NO profile out there!

That's not average and I know it. I just haven't wrapped my head around it yet. I'm getting there and changing my body type is a step in the right direction. Congrats on deleting your profile. Here's hoping he's a keeper.

Wow...that's deep. Can't imagine being there! Hope you find someone as awesome as you are! :)
