I haven't journaled in a while. I've lost weight. I'm about 165 now, so, just to let you know.

I feel my weight is probably a turn off. I'm working on it. Any way, I don't know.. leave me a message or something..

Think of this: weight is not something that makes you less. Weight is just part of who you, wonderful you, are today.

Weight is a turnoff to guys that you don't want to have nagging you about it -- what a relief you won't have those guys around!

Weight won't matter a whit to guys who think *you* are yummy and beautiful and love spending time near you.

... Spoken as a guy who dated and loved women of various shapes and sizes and is always more fascinated with their brains, values, and imagination.

thanks, I don't really think it bothers me that guys care.. I think it's good.. it's just hard when I know I'm working on it and that isn't recognized. To be honest I have a problem with guys being over weight, to a degree.. I know from my own experience, and others, weight does say something about your emotianal state. I have always, sense birth, been over weight, but one, I didn't really have to the info. the food pyramid dosen't help. but I also had severe depression. I couldn't help my self. I don't think I really cared. I have a lot of compassion, but I can understand it being conflicting. I'm not extreamly picky, but weight is a pet peave of mine.. However, I think with the weight loss it's less and less of an issue. I wish it was that way with most guys..
again.. thank you for the comment.. you are kind

Weight *can* mean that one isn't watchful of certain healthful patterns of exercise and eating appropriate quantities of healthful food.... but weight *can* also mean genetic predisposition to a certain body fat ratio. I've even read a book that noted that some people feel a sense of relief at being fat so that they can be insulated from the sort of interaction that some thinner people get (for example, attention from people attracted to them ( ... )
