Welcome Gowergirl,
How exciting meeting a new partner at 60. I am headed there this September. I haven’t ruled out a new man in my life but I prefer not to actually live with one again. Call me selfish but I have grown to love the peace and quiet plus no criticism, I am sure my ex other half enjoys his freedom too.
I really don’t fancy ‘on line dating’, I socialise a lot so hopefully won’t need it. We will see, currently I am happy with my life without complications.
Well done on the weightloss, I am sure you are doing it the right way for you. You must be very relieved to retire fron your job in social work, not a picnic of a job. I would not have coped with the demands you faced, teaching was bad enough, not the kids, just the powers that be and the paperwork.
Weeman- hope OH recovers quickly. Keep the comfort eating healthy.
Smiffy, Wiwi, RT, Happy and hermaj, I have the film script running through my head now, how funny? I am thinking a cross between ‘Youv’e got mail, Notting Hill, three Weddings and a Funeral and Nightmare on Elm Street. Scary or what? All the characters suggested are helping me visualise what happens.
On a TV programme last night it stated that all ‘threads’ end eventually due to the ‘Hitler’ effect. Someone will mention his behaviour and link it to a personality on the thread. Other posters find it so repugnant that they cease to post. I would hate this to happen on this thread as it is a lifeline for many of us. Therefore I suggest that if any poster steps into this zone that we get the post removed immediately and agree to never mention it.
I have found the key to happiness is to forgive and forget, move on, no matter who or what hurt you. Focus on the good and positive parts of your life and stop holding grudges. Grudges are a waste of energy and we need all our energy to fast and have fun. On that note I need to get some sleep as it is a fast day tomorrow. I am thinking that a nice mediteranean omelette would make a change from fish.
HealthcoachB- Life gets in the way sometimes, don’t be hard on yourself. I am the queen of yoyo ing, but at least I now have the tools to get back on track and not give up for good. I like my normal size far too much.
