I finally got it, the "wow"-factor.

After 22 years of trying to be what someone else wants, I finally got one of the things I've always daydreamt about.

Friday night I went on an amazing first date, after a few weeks of non-stop talking.


Just a few minutes ago on the phone he admitted "I don't know how to tell you this without sounding too much but.. when I stepped out of my truck to see you standing there I thought 'Wow'...."

If that's not enough reason to continue to do what makes me happy, I don't know what is.
Treat yourself first, everything else falls in line.

    Also should note that this exact thing was a downside of my last relationship with a guy who was waiting for that moment I would "wow" him.

    Keep waiting guy................ (;

    Congratulations on meeting a nice man who cares about you and appreiciates you for you. Enjoy the feeling of knowing you've done something so healthy fo yourself on the inside that it shows on the outside. Because I'm quite sure his comment was about more than your figure, it was also about the way you carried yourself and the confidence that showed on your face. Keep that with you in all your future relationships, friendship, work endeavors, social life, and personal well-being.
