First OLD meet and date....m
| Mon, 10-10-2005 - 10:01am |
Well, I finally met the guy I have been chatting with and telephoning with for weeks. It was an "extended" date, so sue me. ;) LOL. He didn't say a word but seemed to think I was a little bigger than he'd thought I'd be. He is smaller in person (that 10 lbs the camera puts on). He also looked totally different in person. Old pic, I am thinking. I am not sure it will go anywhere. I just needed it. But he is nice and I am attracted to him.....so, we will see.

"He didn't say a word but seemed to think I was a little bigger than he'd thought I'd be"
Hi Sara-I am not sure I follow, he didn't say this directly and what you are saying is you thought this...and therefore you superimposed this on him.....or he did say something to you?

Life is not measured by how many breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

To Jody & Siffle Sally,
True. I am sort of superimposing the thoughts about weight. He and I did have some brief conversations about my trying to lose weight and he knew I was full-figured. Just his eyes seemed to tell me some things about what he was thinking. Not worried though.
Sara
You know Sara, your post makes me remember something that a very wise person once said to me... You really have to learn to be comfortable and love the skin you're in, because it's the only one you have. It's ok to want to lose weight or want to improve, but you really should embrace what you are right here and now. If you are always waiting to accept yourself based on what you're becoming, you'll never really love you.
Just my 2 cents...
Thanks. That is great advice. And I am trying to realize I am fine. But when you are too overweight, like I had been a few months ago...It shoots down your self esteem because people look at you and treat you differently...and you have to build the confidence back up.
P.S. My date from last night just stopped by for a quick cup of coffee. LOL.
Sara
On the date coming by... awesome!
On the weight issue, I totally understand you. That is why I post what I did. I feel I'm overweight right now, even though others don't see it. But I have also been working on just loving me as I am, with the weight and all. I'm not looking to love myself 30lbs later, you know what I mean? :o)
It's ok girl... you will start loving you, this I know.
Thanks about my date, haha. We will see about him. *smiles*
As for the other issue. You are so right. Gotta love ourselves today...not in the future. I am with you....
Sara
Seems like you are very grounded and not getting your hopes up. That is good.
And if you are still worried about your weight and want to do something about it I'd be more than happy to help. Even if you just lost those '10 pesky pounds that the camera adds on' you will be doing something for yourself and it will boost your self-esteem.
Keep us posted on this new guy.
