GlennM's Journal, 17 December 2008

Doing well. The clinic I'm going to is letting me go without a therapist, which may be what I REALLY need. I'm getting affirmation CDs in the mail soon. I have PTSD issues from childhood I guess, so that is the main reason I avoided driving at age 16 on and while in the service, and it just got worse. Anyway, I'm better emotionally now as I am also starting to realize on pre-maintenance what foods to avoid like salty popcorn and other things that spike the weight scale big time with me. MMM cookies, and pie, cake, etc. doesn't do it for me when I see that posted. It's a diet site! I hate sugary foods now so I just laugh out loud when I see that posted .. I have to get the salty foods out of my system now those are my downfalls into losing the last ten pounds. But everyone tells me I'm thin already enough so but I will do it and stay on for maintenance. Everyone stay on your diets - lots of those carb diet dessert foods make you want to cheat anyway... glenn P.S. Getting ready to date - hopefully will meet the right woman. The prettiest woman I ever laid eyes on some twenty two years ago was an immigrant from Norway and walked up to me on the street and introduced herself to me and even hugged me. We met a few times, she knew where I hung out - what bar - we'd met right out there, unfortunately my grandmother got ill and I never returned to Hawaii as I returned to the mainland. So I hope to meet a nice woman soon. American women aren't as forward, and I was very popular with the Filipina women too. American women and Spanish women not too much so - and when I read the compliments here after losing the weight it made me feel good as I was a nerdy kid and the girls didn't like me as I was unpopular in school. There are many pretty women here on the site by the way, unfortunately you all seem to be married and live far away! :) P.P.S. As I've lived overseas in the Philippines and even was popular with foreign women in Hawaii you may all understand after losing the weight why I'd like to move overseas somewhere if I get published. Foreign women if they like you let you know. Here whatever. I'm hoping someday to get published in the next few years. I'm very shy around women and have a hard time putting my foot forward and if the woman does it like the foreign women do - it is easier for me. Thanks again all of you who have helped me become thin again!

Glenn, you made me laugh out loud when you said that about all the pretty women on the site!!! ha! It is funny that I haven't become close to many people that live close to me. Everyone I've messaged with a lot lives a long ways away!!! I am a huge fan of therapy!!! I think its a great outlet to get things off your chest and have a neutral sounding board. Everyone in our lives is so invested in us - but a therapist is not and so they can really listen to you without judgement. Its very refreshing - and I've often counted on a therapist at various points in my life. Isn't there somewhere else you can go? I say that because I think, more than anything, you could really use someone neutral to talk to!

And by the way - besides white cake with buttercream frosting (which is about my favorite sweet thing in the whole world)...its really the salty stuff that bothers me, too!!!

Yes - I used to live in L.A. when I was young and handsomer. Guys yelled at me and pegged me gay. (Women said I was good looking back then). I had women who were married inviting me on trips - more than one mind you - Iwa a wild one when younger folks! Anyway, a kindly older lady asked if I was of Continental origin at a bus stop one day in Los Angeles. (That means she thought I was originally from Europe, she guessed I'd just moved to California). She told me I was the least looking American she'd met since her arrival in the States. So maybe I'm meant to go to Europe someday and live, or Asia again. Those women that invited me on the trip spoke another language besides English too! Those foreign women - I turned on the radio and a guy yelled no one's trying to get out guess he hasn't had the luck I've had with the foreign women. Paige you're a sweetheart - are you sure you weren't born on a military base in Germany or something? By the way, I'm staying at the clinic for my doctor and am seeking therapy somewhere else ASAP, probably after the holidays. My good therapist left a few months ago, so I've been on hold with that. I guess cherry pie is good, the girl from that 80s video I saw in the supermarket once in Hollywood. My mind is too much on girls and I'm 46. And I see all your pretty pictures up and all you girls and women of all ages are losing weight and I better get a girlfriend soon! Hee Hee -- glenn
