Ok so, I met “him” in May. I was on the phone outside a restaurant and I turned around and “he” was standing right there. We’ve seen each other once a month (because we live in different states…of course) since then. I think about “him” every day and want to tell “him” how I feel but I can’t, can I? It’s too soon, isn’t it? I don’t want to play games…I want to put myself out there and give it a go. I don’t want to scare “him” off either. I’m seeing “him” this weekend so we’ll see.

How I did it: I'm always looking to someone else to praise me or give me their approval. WTF? I don't need someone else to tell me anything. I can tell myself! Read how I did it…
How I did it: Over the past two years, I've really been able to reconnect with people, not just online but in person too. I've realized that I have still have close friends I've known for over 30 years! My friends know my faults and love me anyway and I've accepted that too. I would do anything for my friends, they know this. I feel guilty that I don't see or talk to some of close friends as much as I'd like but I… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I unfortunately dug myself a hole I couldn't get out of by myself. Perfectionism is a real, troubling issue I think many people face and it can cause a lot of pain and suffering. I got help and found others like me! I still struggle with it but it's manageable now. No one is perfect but you can be perfectly imperfect! Read how I did it…

Today, Wednesday, August 31, 2011, I am 23 pounds from this goal.
I don’t know how to lose weight anymore because all the things I usually do don’t work now. I think this might be because I am getting older and my hormones are changing. I drink a lot of wine but, seriously, has WINE caused me to gain 10 pounds in 3 months? Seriously?
