Life is Good

Apr 20, 2010

I'm almost 6 years out and the weight has stayed about the same - 138 - I'm pretty bad about shopping - I love Goodwill, resale shops, and outlet stores.  I can spend hours just going through the racks at Goodwill - scarfed up 6 pairs of capris last Friday.  I cleared out my closets earlier this year and I am restocking for summer!!!  It's so much fun dressing stylishly and I can shop by brand without trying things on - 6 in American Eagle, 4 at the GAP, and an 8 for my dress pants.  Medium in tops.
 
Met a special man in AA and we hooked up when I went to Huntsville, AL in January.  We had dinner and great conversation.  We have been friends for a couple of years and didn't try and approach each other because AA advises that you not get into relationships for the first year that you are sober.  So....I kept my distance but kept hoping.  Anyway I spilled the beans when he was dropping me off at my hotel and we decided that we would date.  We talk almost every day and had a wonderful weekend in Nashville the first part of April.  I cried when I had to leave.  We're hoping to get together again the middle of  June - I have a business trip to Myrtle Beach, he golfs, and I suggested he golf and relax while I work and we could enjoy each other in the evenings.  Hope it works out.  I'm pretty afraid of messing it up and know that he genuinely likes me as a person and finds me attractive.  YEAH ME!!!!  I've started taking more of an interest in my appearance and I feel wonderful.  Just have to keep my head in the game and not go wackadoo by getting all insecure.

RNY is the best thing that I ever did and I thank God for allowing me the privilege.  I'm finally growing up and realizing the benefits of dealing with my issues.
