Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Robin I think i lost about but not quite 30 pounds at the two month mark, I was 197 when i met you and i am about an inch shorter than you are. I also once met a man online when i was younger and when he one day said i am going to drive up from phoneix to meet you, panicked, i had always told him i was not thin, and once he told me it didnt matter and he told me that his exwife had once weighed as much as 185, that devistated me because i was so way past that weight,i just like Shell had said sent more pictures that showed all of me and you know what...............he still drove here, we still met, and we dated long distance for 5 years, in the end he didnt want to date someone so far away, i couldnt move till my daughter finished high school ..............it was the saddest thing the day he told me that we needed to date other people and then on and off we still found our way to each other, then one day he met a woman at work and that was the end,, but it opened new doors for me and now i am happily married to a great guy and have a stepson and my husband is a wonderful dad to my daughter, who never had a good dad growing up and she just adores my husband. I say go for it and dont fret over how much you lose between now and then, but concentrate on healing and getting enough rest so you will feel well when he arrrives !

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Actually, the modification is that he's going to come here in September...abd if things work out between us, I'm going to go there in late October.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 The original post is directly under you. Essentially, (the French guy...the one who is via e-mail, not Olivier, the one who broke my heart) has tried to convince me to let him come and see me in six weeks...which will be 8 weeks into my "recovery"...and I was wondering how much I might lose by then. However, I've expressed so much fear to him that he's decided to wait until September. So, revised question...12 or 13 weeks out...how much can I expect to lose? I never lied to him (though Lord knows I never told him my weight...only that I was not at my optimal weight...and I've sent him headshots that reflected reality).

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Sure, I know that, Sandi. I mean, we do love each other for our minds. But, we don't just live in our heads. Realistically, biologically...naturally...there needs to be attraction between two people. And part of that attraction is physical. Physiological. Part of it is smell, something that can't really be controlled...it's animal. But people have different notions of beauty...and I want him to find me beautiful. More importantly, I want to FEEL beautiful. And yes, it's not like I think I'm a troll under the bridge or anything. That's not the case, at all. But, I don't feel super confident. I mean, it's one thing when you meet at a party and there is chemistry and you know they find you, at least not REPULSIVE....and you build a friendship from there. It's a different thing altogether when somebody meets you in the ether...no physical contact at all...just words, just spirit...and then you meet in person. Fantasies are dashed, or ignited in real time. I want his to be ignited, that's all. Because I really, really, really, like this guy. Robynn "Sandi H." wrote: Robynn--IMHO if the guy doesn't love you for your mind, it aint worth it.Loving you for your body alone (or you loving him for his body alone) doesn't last.Like everyone, just trust that your looks can't be bad enough to chase him away.Neither my hubby nor I are considered physically beautiful or hansome, but our marriage has lasted 25 wonderful years. It's our friendship that really helped.AND THAT'S MY TWO CENTS!--Sandi> > Hi all,> > It seems I read about someone getting their cpap machine > adjusted...> > I think mine needs one.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 When I teased him, saying, "So, what did you check on the airfares, and decide that it would be better for me to come there?" (in reality, I had been saying all along that I was going to go to Paris in September or October...I had planned to do so before I met him). Anyway, he laughed and said, "I can come to San Francisco, too...or I can pay for you to fly here. Whatever you want." He's a nice guy, a good guy. Really. And he said, "Have I ever said I am looking for a skinny, tall, blonde 21 year old? That I prefer that? No. No. No. No. No. I love YOU." So, this isn't really about him...it's about me.
