Motivated by fear of being seen by lost love of over 20 year

I recently relocated, and after three months in my new location, I started getting weird vibes about running into my high school sweetheart who I haven't seen in over 20 years. I did some e-snooping, and I CANNOT believe it! He lives and works very near my house, and his son works at my grocery store. I fear that I will run into him soon. The relocation and job change have gotten me out of my good fitness habits. I know that I can look much better than I currently do. So it's time to get myself back on track. BTW, I love my boyfriend and am not looking to rekindle an old flame, but I certainly want to look my best if we do bump into each other - especially if he has someone hot on his arm.

    Oh no! I know it's ideal to want to lose weight and increase your exercise solely for the health benefits and solely for yourself - but let's face it, there are definite societal and social benefit for looking good as well. =)

    Two days after I posted this topic, one of my dear friends died of brain cancer, and then I found out that my mother has ovarian cancer on that very same day. Needless to say, I haven't been focusing much on my weight or appearance since then. I've been traveling quite a bit so that I can be with my mother for all of her chemo and also help her care for my father whose Alzheimer's has gotten to the point where he will soon need to be moved into a home. Luckily, my weight has stayed pretty much the same, and apparently the "lost love" has softened up a bit over the past 20+ years (according to a recent picture I saw on FB), but I still want to lose a few pounds and shape up before our inevitable bumping into each other. I think he has discovered that I live near him because I swear I saw him riding down my street on a Harley. Eek! I'm always looking over my shoulder!
