Increased weight loss...and dating--a little OT

As some of you may know my weightloss slowed significantly after my 6 month surgiversary for a multitude of reasons, but mainly because my disordered eating habits had started to creep back in.  Well, I am happy to say that in the last 3 weeks I have dropped 8 pounds.  I am now down 123 pounds and only have 26.8 pounds left until I reach my goal weight.  I have a feeling that part of it maybe the fact that I am no longer home a whole lot since I am either at work , school or spending time with the special person who is back in my life.   He doesn't eat a whole lot which is nice because then it is not so tempting for me to, that and when we are together it seems like there is nothing else in the world and food is the farthest thing from my mind. 

I am still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that he finds me so attractive.  I have to share with you all that last night he told me that no other woman could hold a candle to me and that he doesn't even give other women a second glance.  I have NEVER been told that before in my life.  I am so blessed that the Lord reconnected me with him and that he has brought me more happiness than I ever knew I could feel.  It is an amazing time in my life and I know that it will only get better!

Nicole:

Your post made me smile with happiness for you.

RP

Thanks RP!  I have been smiling non-stop since Saturday!

I'm so happy for you, hon - you deserve to be treated the way this man is treating you!  Eventually, you will come to believe that yourself.  You ARE beautiful!  And this special someone has already seen you for better AND worse, so he knows what he's talking about!

Drink it in, sweetie.  And CONGRATS on getting that scale to move again!

Thanks Darla.  You are right that he has seen me at one of the lowest points in my life both mentally and physically and he was there for me then....I am just amazed at where my life has taken me this year.  A year ago had you told me that this is where I would be I would laugh at you and tell you only in a fairytale.  But, now I believe and I am slowly working on accepting the new body I have.

I'm so happy you got everything back under control  :)  taht is great news and it's showing with the scale moving!

As for that man in your life...  sounds like a gem  :)  I'm just plain thrilled for you and am smiling away!

Keep up the great work and the smiles hun!

*hugs*

Thanks Lori!  I am thrilled and you know what I am not even hungry lately and yesterday only had one meal although I had 2 cups of soy milk in my latte so I got some protein there as well, but food is just the last thing on my mind these days!  I will also be able to receive/give motivation with him on working out since he is trying to get in better shape (he looks good now, but what he wants to do for himself is fine by me) so we may start running together. 

Like I replied to RP I haven't stopped smiling since Saturday morning!

I'm so happy for you! Being in a relationship sure is nice, eh? And when he tells you that you are beautiful... believe it! You ARE very beautiful both inside and out.

Hugs,
Lori

Thank you Lori.  Yes after not being in a relationship for 4 years (although 2 of them I was still sharing a house w/my ex) it is very nice to have someone special in my life.  The best part is that it is all so effortless right now.  Granted I know that we will have our tough times, all relationships do, but right now I am just enjoying it. 

How incredibly awesome, Nicole! Glad to hear the WL kicked back in for you.
Enjoy the dating!!!
