I hate it when people post just to post.....

Yes, Fanny has a beau! :crying: It is very surreal at the moment for me. I separated from my ex 16 years ago and it was a couple of years before that since I last felt loved by anyone, so I've been emotionally alone for nearly 20 years. In all the time since, I've had some casual relationships but it was never anything that went beyond lust and affection. Most of that was by my deliberate choice, as I avoided any kind of emotional entanglement. In the last few years, I've been much more open to seeing someone on a more significant level but the weight and other factors has always seemed to get in the way.

After making a major mistake in getting involved with my ex, I was determined that if I ever travelled this road again, I would take it slowly and make sure I knew the person well before I let my heart get involved. It doesn't seem to be working that way, however. When I've taken it slowly, I've never let my heart get involved at all. This time round, it is all happening at the speed of light, is scaring the HELL out of me, but at the same time feels so right and so good and I don't want to stop... *sigh* I feel like a bloody teenager!!

PS: The Veronicas kick arse! I've done my bit for their fame by introducing a few online Yank friends to their music :biggrin:

How exciting Fanny! Enjoy the ride. Not all men are the same, I learned that with my hubby. It wasn't fair making him suffer for the way that my crap exes had treated me...if this guy is good to you, let him in, let it grow. Enjoy it! Feeling like a teenager is BIG FUN!! :tongue2:

Posting just to say...life is sweet :biggrin: and to ask those of you with significant others: How long did it take before you started thinking (not necessarily saying) the L word? *sighs*

*sighing* New love... How wonderful. I can't remember the last time I felt that new stirring of love. *sighing even louder* Enjoy your time for love Fanny. I am sure you deserve it.:tongue2:

And a very pretty one at that!

I really like being able to put a face to names.....which is probably REALLY hypocritical of me because I don't post photos of myself on LBT often and when I do I take them down after a while. I bet there are people who post on this thread who have no idea what I look like cos its been a while since I've posted photos on the before and after thread......?

I'm afraid I'm one of "those", She. I have zero idea of what you look like. So, to me you are a pin-up girl bending over, touching her toes, and.....hey, I'm getting worked up!! Sorry, I usually save my sexist, chauvenistic posts for Leslie!

She - I used to think your avatar was you for months and months! :tongue2:

Fanny - 1.) I'm very jealous of your lovelife. I got banded hoping to have one eventually!!! 2.) I got a postcard from my brother today from Perth. It's gorgeous with all that water!!! What's the population?

So once I start losing weight, will you start being a chauvenist piglet w/ me? Pretty please? LOL

[luluc 6]

she - i had forgotten your face; seen your pic before, very stunning!!!! - it's tuff , to put yourself out there "cyber" world .... been struggling all damn day w/my before / after shots to post & nerrrrrrrrrrrrvous!!!

[Gracey 7]

Sheeee - how cute are you!?! I'd never paid too much attention to your current weight. You're so little!

[She Smiles 2]

Aww thanks guys :tongue2:

You should do it Luluc, I bet you look amazing. I for one would love to see your transformation. One thing I have learned from being around here is that we're all our own worst critics. And you can always do what I do and take them down after a few days when you know your friends have seen them (and our friendly mods will help you if you can't do it - like if some one has quoted them in their post).

She you are beautiful!

I am not brave enough to post a picture of myself. I look no where near as good as you guys. Well, except Plain...:tongue2:

Thanks :tongue2: See this is why I don't post photos, I get all embarrassed! In that photo I was probably actually more like 145....I put about 20 pounds on in the couple of months after that because of a slip/complete unfill.....getting back there slowly.

Girl puh-leez. I'm a big 28 so I don't even wanna hear it! I'd like to be Lulu's beginning size of 16! I can't even fathom being a size 6! Moooooooo

I am so with you there. I remember when I was pregnant and could wear a regular 16 instead of maternity clothes. That was 12 years ago. Now if I could actually get to the weight that I was at 6 months pregnant! I just THOUGHT I was huge!:party: I know now that I didn't know what huge was. :Dancing_biggrin:
