getting back in the saddle

not sure why i haven't posted all week except work and life has been crazy busy.

all is good with the band. i am still struggling/learning to eat slow and stop before it is too late. but i feel like i am getting better at both each meal. i have built such an incredible support system through my family, friends and co-workers so they are helping me stay positive and on track.

i am thinking about jumping back into the dating scene. i have been on a more or less self imposed dating sabbatical since last spring for various reason. mostly it was getting frustrating trying to date, be a mom, have a life, etc. something had to give and dating was the only thing that made sense to give up. a couple things have been going on... i am feeling good lately, it is time and i have met someone who has piqued my interest. turns out today i found out that i have piqued her interest too. she wants to get together this week... could be interesting. part of me thought i would wait until i was close to goal before getting back out there. i don't know why i thought that -- maybe putting it off felt safe and secure. i don't know. last february i had a big break-up. i felt that she was clingy and needy. she thought i had too many walls up. almost a year later i will admit she was probably more right than i was. i hope somewhere in the 25 +/- pounds i lost were some of the bricks of that wall....
