First Update in a Year

Jan 14, 2011 21:17

Well, a lot has happened in the year since I last posted. The whole dating thing has gotten tired and I'm too apathetic to even really care anymore, numb I guess you'd say. I wouldn't say I'm depressed right now, just tired of the same ole, same ole. Last March I looked in the mirror and I did NOT like what I saw AT ALL. Ever since my last serious relationship ended in August 2004 I packed on nearly 100 pounds between that date and March 2010. I was tired of not having any shot of dating due to my physical appearance and also the fact that in the last few years both my mom and dad were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes did not help matters much either. Both were factors in my decision to start shedding the pounds, nearly 10 months later I have lost 50 pounds and am trying to lose another 35-40 lbs within the next 6 months to a year. I've gone from a size 42" in pants to a size 36" and am hoping to get down to at least a size 32" if not 30".

I did have three dates from Match.com in September. Unfortunately none of them went anywhere, which has only made my lack of caring for the relationship department even stronger. Things are still rough financially, I have had a few job interviews over the last few months, but got rejected from all so far.

I don't know what prompted me to start logging into LJ again, but I've decided to keep this for now as it has been a part of my life for going on nearly 7 years now and unlike MySpace (which I deleted two months ago) and Facebook, I feel like I can be more honest on here. Anyway, I hope everyone else is doing well.

2010, life
