just checkin in...

Hey everyone,

I havent been on here in a few months and figured I should stop in and say hi! Hope all is doing well. I'm approx 10 months out and have lost 136 lbs so far. I'm kinda anxious to get rid of the other 86 lbs. :)

On another note, today I told someone that I've liked for a long time that I had feelings for them. I dunno how they are taking it, as they haven't said anything back to me yet. lol. Oye...this is more nerve racking then the darn surgery...jeez.

Anyone have any recommendations for dealing with this? lol. Kinda sappy but this is the first time I've asked someone out since the surgery and I'm not used to it...since I havent asked anyone out in AGES!

blah....oh and I posted a new pic to the profile...gotta show off my new digs. lol

Thomas :)

Hey Thomas,

First off you are doing awesome on the weight loss!  Go you and keep up the great work!

As far as the whole sharing your feelings thing don't sweat too much over it.  I mean if you've liked this person for a long time that means you've known them for a long time and they just might not have expected you to express your feelings that way.  Let them deal with it and if you don't hear anything back about it after a while you will have your answer.  Just either way it goes don't let it get you down.  Things are changing as you change and whats meant to be will be. 

Good Luck!

 First off, you look amazing!!  136lbs in 10 months is completely incredible...you should be so proud of yourself!! 

I'm probably not the best relationship expert on earth, so I don't know how much I can help.  I hope it all works out for you though.  I'm big on the whole door closing/window opening analogy, so even if this doesn't go as you hope, I'm sure that's just because there is something else out there for you.   My husband and I met at a friends wedding, engaged 2 months later and just celebrated our 3 year anniversary...so you just never know what life has in store for ya.  

Anyway, congrats again on the weight loss!!  

hello, congrats for the 136 lbs.  i`m kindda newbie in this board.
ì`m 9 months out now. and doing great.
i`m so exited for you and your friend. i hope they say yes. let us know.

 Congrats!  Keep up the awesome work.
I recently told someone that I had liked that I liked him.  It did NOT turn out as I wanted.  At first I was hurt and angry but we are still friends and clearing the air with him allowed me to be open to other people.  I recently met my boyfriend and I am so happy with him.  So good luck and if it doesnt go how you hope bounce back and stay in the game.  You will be fine and it is their loss! =)
Congrats again =)

Thanks for the words of encouragement.  As a mild update, I haven't talked to him at all today, which is not typical.  We normally chat about 2-3 times a day and txt all day long.  I mean last month I sent/received a combined 1200 txt msg's with him.  So, I'm giving him his space and I'll wait and see where it goes.  According to my friend Charlie, he said that I actually have already told Sean how I felt before when I had been drinking at the club.  lol (which I have no recollection of...)

So, for now, it's just a waiting game and seeing where it leads.  Wish me luck...
