  • You are right and I do feel good about my accomplishments. As for my cat, she is captain of this boat, owns the portholes, and is the perfect furry partner. She also doesn't require a locker (closet) as a man would. Space is precious on a sailboat.
    in Attention from Men is Messing with my Diet Comment by deearra June 2011
  • I have to admit that I got really worried when I saw your response. I didn't expect there to be a whole lot of women who had my experience since male attention is one of the great benefits of weight loss. Happily there were others who offered me a lot of encouragement. I think it might be difficult to find a therapist in…

    in How can I have gained a half-pound?? Comment by deearra February 2011
  • I love a challenge. I'd like to put my competitive side to work on this if there is someone out there who would like to go head to head with me.
