Bought myself some stuff

[Guest guest]

I think we can all relate to personality really matters. I am so attracted to

someone who can make me laugh and is sensative... Once I am attracted to their

inner beauty no matter how they look they are gorgeous on the outside too. haha

I think everyone is beautiful hahaha

In many ways, I am the same. I like short or long hair and looks are

good, but the personality really is what matters to me.

That's an excellent point, defiantly something you may want to talk

to a therapist if you've not already done that, or try to find a new

vice, since eating was your old one. Isn't it strange how our minds

work against us in situations like that. It's like, if someone finds

you attractive and it makes you uncomfortable, we then feel the need

to make ourselves unattractive. But, knowing me, I probably enjoy

it, undesirable attention really didn't bother me much, cause I'd

always say something like, " HEY BUDDY!! take a picture ita last

longer, " or something along those lines. It usually depended on the

guy. I hope this is something you will be able to embrace, by

thinking... " Man I do look good, " and let it boost your ego not make

you feel uneasy.

LOL! You sound like my husband when we first started dating. He was

dead set against marriage. Didn't want any part of it! I never pushed

the issue but 1 time when I thought it would be an issue w/ getting

custody back of my daughter. Even then....no! 4 years later we're

married. He about shocked the crap outta me when he proposed! Never

thought I'd see the day!

Although I rarely eat out anymore. Don't see paying for what little I eat!!

I'm different in that I welcome the attention. I'm feeling so much more

confident in myself these days! I had to dress up for a luncheon today

at work & felt sexy for the first time in forever!

Anyone with similar issues. I really hadn't thought deeply about it, but it

could sabotage me if I don't think about it.

That's sweet that he was able to surprise you! it sounds like you

really appreciated it too. I'm sure he's grateful you were patient.

I'm not really " against " marriage so much as I'm not looking for it.

Could I be swept off my feet? Maybe. I still weigh around 300lbs so

she'd better bring a floorjack!
