Hello World,
Crazy days and storms and kids plus dogs and my parents! And I Love it! When I was a little girl I dreamed of a day that I would have a big house full of children, dogs and family. I wanted it all, the white picket fence, the husband the kids. I got most of it. I have been engaged 3 times, in addition to being married 1 for 11 months. I have tried harder than anyone I know to achieve the dream.
I think its funny how one person can want something so bad that just comes easily for someone else and they didn't even want it. I am intelligent, successful, creative, loving, and a catch but something always happens. I used to blame it on me being fat. (Yes I used the f word because it is what it is). However I have looked back and realized I made bad partner choices because I was fat and had low self esteem but the relationships didn't fail because I was fat.
I haven't dated in 7 years, I took a break. I tried to figure out why I keep picking people that were not compatible with my path. Why I picked people that weren't bad but not really good for me either.
This past Thursday was my 40th Halloween on this earth. I am looking forward to this whole 40th holiday season, culminating with my 40th Birthday in December.
However...
I am NOT where I wanted to be.
I am NOT dead either. (Which was a distinct possibility along the way)
I AM a survivor.
I AM still in the game.
After everything and all I have learned to get there, I bet there is a special person waiting for me in the future that will appreciate all I have to offer.
I NEVER GIVE UP, I AM ALWAYS MOVING FORWARD!

Hey, Pammi! Thanks for the Buddy invite. Sorry I didn't see it sooner. Those things have a way of hiding on me. You're doing ABSOLUTELY GREAT! Wow, down 42 lbs! Great work... I see you've gotten lower than you've been in the last year. That's fantastic, too! You've got this, this time. You can totally do this. I also think it is great how you've grown on relationships. I got some great advice once on that: They said you don't need anyone in your life (ever!) to make you happy. If you are not happy before you meet someone, it is not the time to invite someone into your life. They described it as the foundation of a house... when you want a house, you must build that house first--and most importantly--on a solid foundation. If you don't, the house will sink, the walls will crack. Nothing will ever be right for that poor house. For relationships, this means we must first be happy before inviting someone into our lives to join us in them. That happiness, finding you need nobody in your life to *make you* happy, is the foundation of a solid relationship. Only then, can a relationship ever bring you true joy. I was amazed when I got that advice... and I know you didn't ask for it, but I hope it helps. It has helped me a lot over the years. Good luck! And thanks again for the buddy invite! I hope we can help each other along in your weight-loss journey! Talk to you soon.
