I KNOW this blog isn't about dating, it's recurrent theme is change. (Can change BE a recurrent theme? or would it have to be different in order to be change, oh well, nevermind) BUT I broke through, and I messaged a guy first. I saw some one's profile, was taken with his smile, and things he wrote about laughter.... (and the fact he's really tall) and I wrote to him. Now, for those out here a little younger, a little more worldly, this is no big deal. For me, it was amazing. He'll never know he was my 'first' , but I'll always get a chuckle out of it. He wrote back, and we're only at the third email, still barely knowing each other, so who knows where it might end.... but I made another change! This is getting exciting!
I had slacked off from going to the gym, but got back on track two weeks ago, and lost about 4 pounds so far. I'm still within my 'window' of acceptable ups and downs on the weight, so I hadn't been worried, but it felt great to be back close to my lowest ever adult weight. I figure, another 4 pounds, and I'll be there. Of course, with all the gym work, I'm more conscious of whats been going in my mouth, so it's been good nutrition wise. This duodenal switch surgery makes things so controllable. I don't think at my highest weight, I would have been comfortable enough to initiate an online dating scenario. I feel more 'mainstream' now, like my size isn't something someone has to be accepting of, in order to date me. My size is just one of a long list of characteristics that make up me, not the defining one by any means. Thanks DS.
I've written about my town several times. Tonight was 'dancing on the Lane'. Every Thursday in August, after the farmers market, a pedestrian street is closed off, and a dance instructor comes, and people come out to hang together, and maybe even learn a few steps. Tonight we Hustled! Upcoming ones include swing, tango, and salsa/mambo! It's silly, fun and gets people out and onto the main street. It helps the local businesses, because a lot of us come right after work, walk the farmers market, and go to one of the restaurants on the main street for dinner.... then go dancing! What does your town do to encourage community bonding?
