This is all giving me a new perspective. I did have a friend tell me that I will have to start approaching guys instead of waiting on them to approach me, but then I have another friend that wanted me about the pain of rejection. I know rejection hurts because even when I was thin, I was rejected (and cheated on for a fat girl!) now I wonder which hurts more - rejection or loneliness.

I join online dating sights then drop off because no one I am interested in is contacting me. I think I will give the online dating thing another try. This time I will approach more men. I feel so pissed I want to say, "Hey, I know I have a belly, but I am totally awesome, funny, smart and very loyal and caring and generous and loving and all of that good stuff." My other traits outweigh (pun intended) my belly, I promise. Okay, thanks for the votes of confidence...I am going back out there! I'll keep you posted.
