Overweight and doing something about it

Sometimes I think I’m just destined to be alone. Recent email convo with Divorced Guy (DG) started slighty aggressive this morning. To start off, I missed a text he sent last night and didn’t get it until this morning:

 8:30am

DG: Hey, how come you never initiate contact between us? I already told you I like your ole butt-head… and it sounds like the feelings are mutual. It’s like you sit up and say to yourself, “I’m going to sit back and see what happens with this clown.”

Me: ???

DG: i figured that’s the response I would get; nevermind…

I had meetings until noon.

Me: I’ve been in meetings all morning.

I’m confused, we’ll talk later.

DG: All I was trying to say was it would be nice if you initiated a conversation for a change. If I’m not emailing or text messaging or occasionally calling you, we don’t talk.

Me: I thought I did but ok. I’ll try and do better.

To me he sounds a little desperate. Keep in mind this fool lives five states away and is recently (if at all) divorced, and we’ve only been on ONE.EFFING.DATE. And you can tell from the email string we don’t talk much.
From my experiences, recently divorced people are lonely and they latched on to first thing that comes along and demands all attention and time. Its called rebounding people!! And I’ve been the rebound chick PLENTY of times. I’m not saying that I’m not interested in this guy, because I am. However, how dare he come at me like this..?
Save the drama for ya mama cuz I’m not the one.

I had a really good time last night. My friend was such the gentleman, opening doors for me, pulling out my chair, and PAYING for dinner. My issue with my weight came to mind only a couple time during the evening, the couple times i had to pull my size 12 jeans back up because they are too loose! Hello! We have plans for a second date, but it may be a while since he lives 1000 miles from me.

Oh, and I got hit on my another handsome fella this morning while walking into work. My game is tight, yo!

I’m going to happy hour tonight, but only after my spin class. I deserve it.

I have my very first date of this year tonight. I’m typing this because he’s running late (CPT) and shit. It’s not really a date, just dinner and drinks with a former co-worker who hasn’t seen me in over a year, which means he hasn’t seen me plus 30 lbs. All day I’ve been thinking about clueing him in on my weight gain, but decided against it. I figure even if I don’t feel confident, I should at least act like I do, right? Anyway well probably talk about his divorce and work and other BS. BTW- this is my third divorcee that I’ve ‘dated’ out with. What’s up with that?

My theory is I’m at an age (29) where you’ve hit the jackpot if you can find a single, childless, never-been-married man without any baggage. Not that I wouldn’t date men with children, or being divorce, but not being single is definately a deal-breaker. Hello, its like I have to constantly remind men “you are married” and just because I’m fat doesn’t mean I’ll sleep with you. This big girl has standards!

Oh and sista-girl has lost some weight, yall! I’ll let you know in JULY.
