The fun's over! It's time for an Easter (Sunday, March 31) Challenge!

curt! no pity party! be happy with who you are. You are young! There is still tons of time for love. My sister has finally found someone after 2 years of being miserably single. She came to a place of being happy being single…that is when things turned around. She decided she wanted to be happy with her nieces instead of sad for not having children of her own. She decided to love her spare time rather than be bored. Someone found that attractive and now she is seriously seeing someone. Guess what? He is about your age and has a daughter. No lie.

I can't talk to women and when I do have the courage to talk to one I like, I just end up scaring them off and they find me creepy or whatever. Oh well. I will just continue to try to lose the weight for my daughter.

Curt I know how easy it is to think it is never going to happen, I have been there and still have days where I am there.

Some day it will happen for you, probably when you least expect it. Which if that saying drives you insane I so agree. Everyone keeps telling me when I stop looking he will find me but personally I do not know how to stop looking for it when it is what I long for the most.

As for the girl at work I know it is probably impossible but the best thing you can do is try to ignore her and what she does. It truly is her loss for not seeing what is in front of her. Everything happens for a reason even when we cannot see the reason why there is a reason.

I am currently working on finding things to put in my lunch that are not just homemade bread with butter. My mom is going to make some chicken salad so I can take that with some tortillas for lunch. Gotta go and see what else I can find. I also found a recipe for a vegetarian version of tuna or chicken salad, going to see if I can change the recipe a little bit since I do not eat chick peas.

Yes, I get told that a lot at work and it's very tiring to hear, especially since they don't know me that well. I don't even look as I don't see a point.

As for the girl, I've been trying my best to just act like she doesn't exist. I'd rather her not think I like her anymore. It doesn't help, but it's best this way. Yesterday night, I was extremely bored, so I created a new eharmony profile just for the heck of it and I had two matches (both from the states) and the first match, her name was the name of the person at work that I like - hilarious. I try to move on and ya.

[SassyAshley]

Curt, I think I am the female you. I know how much little things can knock you back, anyone with the same name as my "ex" right away it is like no. Also on eharmony one of the first guys who started to talk to me was a lot like my "ex" first in all the good ways which freaked me out. I keep telling a co worker he is too much like him but did not want to punish someone for my bad experience but than slowly I started to some bad qualities as well. I was really starting to think this was my type of guy and this was someone I could not be with so did this mean I was meant to be alone.

I am personally sitting here right now trying to decide if I check and see if the guy I asked out last week has answered me yet. If he is online and has not said anything that bag of Golden Oreos may call me even if he has not answer that bag of Oreos might call me.

As well I have sat here before thinking my weight has been the cause of why I cannot find a guy. It was not until within the last few years I realized if a guy does not want me at the weight I am now I would never be able to be with him. I do not want to constantly worry if I gain weight the way he sees me will change. So now I live by take me as I am and if I get that line I hate so much your pretty and I would go out with you if you lose 20 lbs they are not the guy for me. Sad that it took me years to see the issue was theirs not mine but it did. Now I will lose weight but me for and only me so I feel better.

On that note I am thinking of getting an Ab Doer, one downside to waking up at 5 am on a weekend is there is nothing but infomercials on at that time. But I like the idea of the ab doer and the fact it is something small I can store in my room as my current work out equipment is trapped in my basement in the back of the "storage" room and I probably will not get to it for a couple months. My ultimate goal would be to have both pieces of equipment so I can alternate depending on my ambition level that day. Off to go and read some reviews.

+ 1.2 (191.8)

Thanks, Curt...it really is a battle...some little skirmishes I win, others I lose...you've been doing fantastic...a little cheat, a little gain, so what...it's getting right back on that wagon that's the important thing. It's a war, Hon...battles can be won and lost, but in the end we'll have won more than lost.. Keep up the great work! What kind of diet are you following if you don't mind y asking? It's certainly doing wonders for you!

Eating less is my diet. I still eat like crap but less of it (not this weekend though, as I gained around three pounds yesterday) and still drinking on average 3 pops a day with little exercise except all the walking I do at work, depending on the job I have that day. I have noticed on days when I do a lot of walking at work, I lose upwards of two pounds, so walking does work.

Before, when I was miserable, I would just eat and eat but now I eat less, but lately I've been doing it the previous way, as to why I've been gaining back weight, but I haven't really cared about my gains and losses. I don't feel any better losing 25 pounds. It doesn't really do much for me, but continue to try for my daughter. I'm not being a good example for her.

[SassyAshley]

Oh Curt, I want to cook you a nice homemade dinner.

[jasperandchar]

well I have been watching what I put in my mouth and I'll tell you it's make a big difference I lost 1.4 since I weighed myself on Thursday so pretty darn pleased with the hardwork so far. The guys just need to bring in my exercise bike and we'll be all set.

[Patty Smyth]

Been a tough couple of weeks since my mom died but getting back into the groove.

Made a whole bunch of stuff yesterday. Some staples, tomato soup, veggie stew, tomato sauce for pasta.
