fyi, I ended it

Reen & Connie- I wanted to let you guys know, I ended it with the guy. There's hope for me yet. -Jen

Jen, I'm proud of you for demanding better for yourself and taking care of you. Whether it feels like it or not right now, you gave yourself a gift. I now subscribe to the theory that men are like Kleenex, another one will pop up. When I was a fat girl dating, I didn't settle for someone who wasn't right for me, but I was profoundly sad everytime it didn't work out. Even if it was just a first date and I really didn't like the guy. I knew the dating pool was small for the morbidly obese and felt my chances dwindling with every failed date. I don't feel that way anymore. Probably because I know there's a much larger pond with many more fish in it now. Hang in there sweetie, you deserve the best and you'll get it. Love ya, Connie

Jen, I don't really know you but good for you. You deserve to be treated with honor and respect. Besides being an attractive woman, I'm sure you have a lot to offer. I wish you the best of luck and hope you can find somebody who will be everything you want them to be.

Jen, any guy would be lucky to have you at his side. Don't settle. I know you're hurting and I'm very proud of you for doing what you needed to do to take care of yourself. Take good care and talk to us as much as you need to! Reenie

Jen - I've been lurking, so I know of your situation. Congrats to you for having the courage to end it. I know how hard it is to resist temptation - especially after living your whole life as "the fat girl". I have a very hard time with my mental image of myself - my head still hasn't caught up with the rest of me. I'm so glad that you didn't go down that slippery slope. It's a tough climb back out of it. Don't ever settle for less that what you truly deserve. -Wendy
