nancyroberta...

If you don't mind a male suggestion: work on your weight while searching for a date!

Most men are more receptive to women who are packing pounds that could be easily removed. And when you think about it, a little lesson the scalecould increase your matches!

Can you imagine having a new wardrobe that makes you look even more flattering to others?

If you can touch base with a fitness trainer and/or eating healthy person, I'll bet you'll receive enough encouragement and ideas to trim down?

GOOD LUCK!

Nancyroberta it sounds like your self esteem is on a diet. Instead of putting youself on one too fast think about developing and loving yourself more.

Some people are fat some are skinny

some are short some are tall

some are black some are white

some are hairy some are bald... get my drift?

so barring health concerns embrace big the same way you would being small. Good grief we were made in the image of God. Nuff said!!!

You should sit down with yourself and find out if you are happy with your life-that includes everything. This might take a few days or a few weeks. Change is a very slow process because you have to change old habits and ways. It is very important that you do this. You must love yourself before anyone else can love you. And NEVER change for someone else. Cause if you change for the wrong reasons, it will not work and you will not be happy! And you might find out that you love and accept yourself already for who you are, both on the inside and out. You also might write on paper all of the wonderful, beautiful and awesome things about you and focus on those. You will soon see and believe how fantastic you are! I want to share a little something with you: Love is not blind-it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less.--Will Moss * *We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.--Author Unknown * *And a book that will help is The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Stay positive, Love youself and Good Luck!*
