The other day I saw an old boyfriend at the grocery store. It had been ages since we had seen each other. We spent about a half hour talking, and catching up on each other's lives.

He is one of the most handsome men I've ever known. He would easily fit on the cover of GQ.

He was all decked out in dress clothes and there I was in jeans. I wanted to immediately run home, lose about 1,000 pounds, do 500 sit ups, dye my hair, buy new clothes, and one of those "slimmer corset" thingies.

When I got in my car I stopped and thought about it. I said to myself, "Jan, quit being an idiot. If you think you need to change, do it for yourself, not some guy."

All that therapy is finally paying off!

Kind of exciting, HUH! Well, really exciting to bump into an old flame....
At the same time, like you, I would be feeling the need to lose weight, get in shape, update my wardrobe, and then stop myself!!! Just like you, I've reached the point where I realize it is about my own well-being, not about being presentable for some man!
You rock!
Love,
Patty

Wow Jan and Patty, I need to take a lesson from you. I weigh probably 60 lbs more than I did in high school and I don't live in the town I grew up in anymore, but on the occasions I've gone back to visit family and run into someone I know at the store or something, I run as fast as I can the other way! I'm absolutely ashamed that I have become such a cow. Bumped Into An Old BF The Other Day

No, Candy. You walk with your head held high and say hello. You are deserving. Don't allow anyone, including yourself, make you feel undeserving.

Hugs,

Jan
