Unearned Success

I’ve been weighing myself every day.  I know, I know.  You’re not supposed to do that.  I will quit.  I promise.  I can quit anytime I want. Actually, it’s been (for the most part) really encouraging.  I’ve lost 6 pounds this week, a small loss each day, except for one – can’t quite figure out …

Missing

I’ve been suffering from loneliness a lot lately.  It’s not because the children are gone for the summer – it’s not a general loneliness.  It’s a very specific type. I miss having someone to love.  I miss being loved.  I miss not having someone to miss. I miss having someone look at me so tenderly.  …

Dear Loved Ones

It really blows that I have to post it, but I’d like this out there.  Just in case. So, my stalker, after nine long months, is still stalking me.  I was told that if I made no contact for 3 months, he would lose interest.  I can’t seem to shake this psycho.  Something in him …

Feeling Closer

This week has been such a flourish of busy-ness!  I’m so exhausted!  I’m busy working overtime at my office job, busy mowing the lawn, busy running errands, preparing foods, and all of the other things which fill a woman’s day. And busy trying to squeeze in time to make my dreams come true. I’ve been …

Priorities

So, for those of you who don’t know, I’m a member of a dating website.  As a fat woman, I my inbox isn’t filled daily with men dying to meet me.  I do have a few men who contact me, though.  Old men who are seeking a younger woman, smokers who can’t seem to find …

Day 1 (Again)

I’ve had a number of things hindering me from reaching my goals, lately.  What I’ve realized lately is that it all boils down to routine.  If I can’t get into a routine I can stick to, I’m going to give up. Between working overtime at one job and working my other job while taking care …

Half Way to Christmas!

I just want to make sure that you all know that we are half way to Christmas today.  I’m this uber-Christmas freak, but I’m not even Christian.  Go figure. I mentioned it to my daughter, and we got to talking about favorite memories and the things she has appreciated over the years that I’ve done …

Another New Beginning

Due to circumstances, my children (who were due to go to their father’s house for the summer last Wednesday) are leaving today. I always feel horrible saying this, but I’m so excited!  There’s even more excitement today than there has been in past years.  Usually, it’s just the excitement of being kid-free for a couple …

Not Date-able and Not My Fault

In my current state, I am undate-able.  Unfortunately, it’s not my fault. Why am I undate-able?  Is it because I am so overweight?  Is it because I am a single mother of two teenagers?  Is it because I am so odd – my unusual eating habits, my pickiness in partners, my lack of TV watching? …

SO Disappointed!

Have you ever had a Facebook Friend unfriend you?  To my knowledge, I’ve had it happen 4 times: twice were teenagers who didn’t like me calling them out on their drug use, etc, another was a childhood friend and the last was a blood relative.  Truthfully, I have no idea why the last two unfriended me.  …
