    Get a dog :) they're great company and love you regardless!

    That would be a very bad idea. It would cause issues in the gym.

    But if she got a Beagle she could take it everywhere, like a cheese and wine tasting.

    Effing really?

    The possibilities are endless when you're single...all of your time is actually your time to do what you will...you get married and have a family and suddenly time becomes a real issue because priorities have to focus on more than just you...you're single, you're all you have to worry about or be concerned with...

    When I was single I:

    Had coffee with friends...or not...sometimes I just enjoy a cup of coffee on the patio and taking in a beautiful morning.

    I went hiking...a lot...sometimes with friends, sometimes on my own...a hike in the woods on your own is a beautiful thing...I still do it.

    I road my bike a lot

    I hit the gym

    I played frisbee golf and ultimate frisbee with my buddies

    I played video games for hours on end

    I spent a lot of time reading without being interrupted

    I could go on and on and on....

    Please, give me a break! It's so much easier to do what you want to do when you want to do it when you don't have other considerations like a wife and family...it's great and all, but your time ceases to be your time...it's everyone's time.

    I am single. I read, quilt, clean my house, play with the cats, hang out with my friends, play video games, exercise, go to festivals and craft shows, volunteer at different organizations in my town, and travel.

    I had so much more time to focus on fitness, golf, fishing and other activities before my family demanded most of my free time...

    Were you really serious when you were single or did that happen after you were married for awhile?

    @newmeadow serious about what?

    Lol only thing husbands are for is sex.

    I'm trying to imagine this picturesque scene of my husband and me holding hands and drinking coffee while gazing in each other's eyes.

    It's more like drink coffee in the office together while doing unrelated tasks with random commentary and holding hands was honeymoon phase... like 16yrs ago.

    Cute post tho. I giggled.

    How bout enjoy being single ✊

    Some of them have therapy. I suggest you try it.

    Therapy would be really good for you!

    Yes, I agree because, well ...

    "(In the past years my weight ranged from 77-86 lb, usually being closer to 86) Now my weight is 97 lb and I feel uncomfortable with that because I'm not used to being this weight. So I would like it to go back to being under 90.

    I have been beating myself up for not losing weight, but here's the thing. I am 28 years old and have never been on a date or had a boyfriend. I should actually be congratulating myself and proud of myself for the fact that despite all these years of loneliness, my weight has not gone past 100 lb. Sure, I gained weight due to emotional eating, but it has never gotten above 100 lb and it probably never will.

    I feel hopeless and empty as a result of never having experienced romance before. The silver lining, though, is that my weight is the one thing in my life that I can control. I may not be able to experience love, but no one can take my weight away from me. That is the one thing I am most proud of. I could have been sitting here emotionally eating until my weight is in the triple digits but that is not going to happen. In fact I exercise 4-5 hours a day so I am able to eat but yet maintain my weight. So I am proud of myself for that."

    You should lift !! You should focus on being the best version of you that you possibly can. You should set personal goals and then smash through them. You should embrace who you are and find contentment in that. Find a worthy cause and dedicate some of your time in volunteering to help toward that. You will find that when you give of yourself to help others that you will be the one that will be blessed in the process. You might also meet some really awesome friends along the way.
