Suzanne-- Thanks for your words. I totally agree that we reap what we sow. I, too, allowed my weight to keep me from seeking men. Of course, at the time I justified it by saying that I was too busy with work and school to have a relationship, but I knew then (as I know now) that was just my way of protecting myself from the truth. But now that there is less of me, and my self-esteem is improving, I've taken the big step of getting myself out there to meet other people. So now, I too, hope to find and fulfill that other part of my life that has been missing for many years. A majority of my friends are married and have children, and even though I'm always told that 33 isn't old, I'm definitely feeling the pressure of marriage and children -- especially now that my professional goals can no longer stand in my way.
I wish you luck and hope that all of your dreams will come true.
Thanks for posting.
