saaay, what does your dh/dw think about all of US?

Hooking up via online is the way peeps meet each other these days.  That still get sideways looks like "you're now dating the Unibomber???" It is almost a shameful thing for many of my contemporaries and elders.  I'm over it!  If I am ever to be single again and wanting to date, i'd do it in a heartbeat. Whether you meet your SO in church, bar, or online, the hope is that you give it time and make sure he is not a nut job.  I tell DH that I need to check in with my friends when i get home or start posting before work, he gives me a *look* while shaking his head...thinks i am in a fantasy.  Of course, any one of you ( or me, LOL) MIGHT be a psycho, but since we tend to stay on subject and talk about our food issues, who cares so much of we would be friends if we met in 3D? We're friends here!

Hehehe....my dh calls it the fat board too!  I am now a very infrequent lurker.  I try to check in once a week but sometimes don't get an opportunity. They blocked any type of forum boards at work so I can't just pop in and check anymore. Been extreemely busy at work, been in training for about 6 weeks now, got 3 more to go, and then may have to go to Jersey for 14 weeks. Got a three day trip planned to Ft. Walton Beach, FL. this week.  Leaving Weds. morning be back Friday night.  Looking forward to that. I have lost ~35 lbs. thus far, but feel like I'm stalled.  I got to go back to dr. in the morning, maybe they will tweak my fill so it will have time to adjust before departure to Jersey......Miss ya guys!!!! P.S.  If DH keeps eating half of my food everytime we go anywhere, he may need to join our fat board.....

ANGIE!!!!!  I think of you from time to time...shoulda pm'ed you to check in.  I miss you too.

My hubby thinks it's great!  He is also a little insecure just for the fact that we also met online in a chat room over six years ago.  So once in a while he'll come over and read what I'm writing or reading a post with me.  I let him, for peace of mind.  He isn't too bad though, we're pretty secure in our relationship.  He's just glad I found a place that I like!

No DH, but my 6yr old asks me if I'm on "OBCITY HELP DOT COM" anytime he sees me on the computer!

About the whole fat board pet name thing, I have a confession.. when I refer to the site in talking with my wife I call it "My Fat People Site". :)

That's it....I give up.    I've lost a hundred and seventeen pounds and had a lot of excess skin removed.  I workout like a Trojan to maintain my weight and muscles mass...and I'm still on the FAT PEOPLE SITE!!! Howza bout a Positive New Image...'The Future Hotties' site! Mary

(shrug!?)  I don't like the term obesity and with a help behind it, it seems just 'wrong' to say it.  Obesity sounds like some morbid disease that cannot be cured.  You can cure fat. :)  The term fat seems comical to me.  Doesn't bother me like obese does..  go figure!? 

LOL...Obesity Help does sound like an oxymoron.  So are they going to help you stay obese? But to me...there ain't nothin' funny about being called fat.  Them's fightin' words! I prefer to hope for the future.  If you constantly hear yourself say, "I'm a future hottie"...then it becomes a part of your thinking. Mary

Sounds like a great daily affirmation!  I might want to change it to "I'm a stud" because I sure would like to get rid of these man boobs.. I don't need them turning all 'hottie' on me! :)
