Yes you can call in sick on dating. I have/am. Also, compare notes on dads sometime…mine yesterday: “You sure are happy for being so screwed up!” (delivered with a smile and a hug).

Honey, you are self-sabotaging. You CAN halt the vicious cycle. You’ve done it before. You know it is inside you to control it. You are afraid of what your new life might bring. It is hard to face fear. Perhaps look into meetup.com groups in your area instead of dating? Maybe just try socializing with a bunch of like-minded people instead of forcing yourself into a one-on-one date. You have to take a next step. It will be painful. But ask yourself, won’t it be more painful to go back to the way life used to be?

Practicing on “not my types” is an interesting approach.

WOW! You lost 100 pounds recently??? How did you do that!!!

I’m so impressed. And learning that someone lost a lot of weight is just the type of thing I’d be impressed about if I was looking online to date someone. I wonder if your profile SAYS that you’ve recently lost 100 lbs? I consider it a huge plus…and maybe it could help you not feel so out-of-body if they know that about you right out of the gate.

(Stepping out of Facebook to check some of my favorite blogs I used to read more often…)

I am a sugar junkie and it really worries me. If you really are stuffing cookies, how about we do a daily amnesty on how much crap we’ve eaten during the day? Could try it for a week and see if it guilt trips us into being honest with ourselves as well as with each other! Let me know if you want to. I don’t get to my email every day but I would try if we were doing this…

I will not take offence if you don’t want to, I promise

I bet you look fabulous and losing even 20 pounds is super impressive to me. You’ve lost way more than that.

Comment on Can I title every post, “My neurotic responses to the prospect of dating?” by girltrueheart

Wow. Hon….listen to me. I’m the weight and size you ONCE were. And I have guys falling over themselves to date me right now. It doesn’t have SHIT to do with size. It has to do with how you feel. And I think you know that. You’re right…there’s no point in dating if you’re not going to feel good enough to allow yourself to well, FEEL GOOD ENOUGH.

All that may sound harsh, but I’m telling you….you should really make a pact with yourself. Say yes to ONE guy. Go on ONE date. It isn’t the end of the world. It doesn’t have to lead anywhere. Just take it one step at a time. Because if you don’t risk rejection, you can’t reap intimacy.

That’s awesome. An active child is a great start to a healthy child! probably the main reason I won’t have children…I don’t want them ending up like me!

What was the result? Did they not give you back your deposit? I hate that too. Where I’m at right now, they’re going to knock it down when I leave so I don’t see why there should be ANY reason I can’t get my giant sum of funds back.

I deleted mine about 3 weeks ago. Best social media decision I have made in a while.
