Jaclyn's diary

Uh oh girls....

I went on a date with this guy tonight and it went really well.

Here's the story. I have a profile on match.com, right? So one day this much older guy messages me and I open it and the first thing it says it "I bet you have a huge ass."

Naturally I was like "what?!!?!?!?!" But I read the rest and the guy explained that he knew he was much too old for me (he was like, 40) but that he knew a guy from work who he though I'd be perfect for, and gave me his friend's myspace page (which is like a profile type of deal for those of you who aren't familiar. Myspace.com) Anyway, I messaged the guy telling him what a jackass his friend was and he messaged me back apologizing and saying that he had no idea his friend did that and then we started talking. This was awhile ago. He asked me if we could hang out a few weeks ago, but it was a weekend I was going to be away. So anyway, this other guy I was talking to pissed me off this morning, and so I imed this guy and I was like "so when are you going to take me out?" and he was like "how about tonight?" So we went out for sushi, then rented the Ray Charles movie and went back to my apartment. :eek:

Just kissed girls. Just kissed.

Annnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyywwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy, there's my story. I had a good time, and I don't know what to make of it. I normally hate everyone. Here's food:

Breakfast:
2 slices whole wheat toast with blackberry jam (200)
Cranberry Juice (100)

Lunch:
Slim Fast Granola (220)
Cheez Doodles (110)
Orange (70)

Snack:
Spoonful of peanut butter with some chocolate chips (200)
Montery Jack Cheese Wedge (80)

Dinner:
Veggie Sushi
Vegetable Miso Soup
Ginger Salad

Then I burned some calories kissing. :)
 
Burned some more calories today...also missed dinner. :)

So I hung out with this guy again and I feel so weird because I don't feel weird. I like him, but I don't feel like...I don't know, I just feel normal, which makes me feel not normal. Am I making any sense?

Maybe I'm going crazy.

Breakfast:
Pineapple, kiwi, and strawberries (100)
Reduced Fat Blueberry Muffin (210)

Lunch:
Lean Cuisine Fettucine (290)

Forgot to eat dinner...

I did manage to have a bite of cookie dough after he left though. (120)

On a less amorous note, I'm thinking about shedding this last 25 or 30 pounds by joining Curves. Anyone here try it?
 
lol @ usually I hate everyone...I can hardly believe that!!!!!!


Could it be that you up defenses when we are not feeling so good about your weight and it easier to just not let poeple in or find reasons not to like them, but now that you are feeling good and body image is better, you can just relax and be yourself?

Sounds like fun to me,..wasnt the Ray Charles movie good?..and is he a good kisser?
 
Oooo yes is he a good kisser lol...curves has helped alot of ladies here. ive never been to one but they seem like a good place to start since its real women in there as opposed to spandex clad skinny twigs or guys that try and oggle you at every turn lol as far as feelings go, if you dont rush it youll see, if the feelings are there theyl show up if not then youve made a really good friend :)
 
I love Curves, still trying to get back into there....
Oooohhhh kissing is sooooo fun.... gotta tell us more on the kiss!
Jen may be right.. ;)
 
Hey everyone! Jen, I know for sure that I was putting up defenses when I was heavier--in fact, I think all the weight I gained after my ex and I broke up was just another defense. I felt so bad I didn't want anyone to want me. And I succeeded. But I feel pretty good about this. He keeps telling me how attracted he is to me--and I feel tiny next to him because he's 6'8"! So that's pretty cool.

He is a good kisser...very good. :)

Breakfast:
1 Well Done Egg (70)
1 Slice Veggie Bacon (30)
1 Slice Toast (60)
Cranberry Juice (100)

Lunch:
1 slice cheese pizza (300)

Snack
Fat Free Yogurt (100)

Dinner:
5 Morningstar Buffalo Chiks (200) with honey (40)
Wise Chips (150)
Natural Apple Sauce (50)
 
Droooooooooool,..6'8" whoooooo-hooooooo,...love a tall man


Just cuz I am married doesnt mean I cant read the menu
 
6'8" ! ! ! ! ! !
OMG!!! Tall men are definately sexy.... dont know why, they just are..
I dated someone that height b4, he would pick me up and carry me when ever he felt like it! LMAO Kinda got annoying, ( I was also small back then). I felt like a kid next to him! LOL He ended up being a creep though. I hope yours is not a creep! I hope his name is not Len.... oh, just thought of another tall one, hope his name is not Ryan, or Joe!
 
6'8 omg..i though mine was tall lol id feel like a shrimp next to him :p OooOOooOO hes attracted to you and a good kisser ***high five***girly! is there gonna be a next date?? :D
 
6'8, that's great, for some reason I always go for guys my height (5'7) and lately I've been attracted to the skinnier variety (WHY OH WHY). I'm so like you. I put on a lot of weight this last year during a long drawn out break up and after. I think it is one of the things that has really contributed to me keeping on weight. It always sounds so strange to me, but it is a type of defense. Glad to hear you are getting over that! Good luck with the man!
 
Haha, love the reaction to the tall guy. There is going to be another date, tomorrow night--He's taking me to the Melting Pot. :)

Then hopefully we'll head back to my house for some fun. :)

Today was a great day. I wrote a short story for my fiction workshop and today it was my turn to have my story critiqued. I was so scared and nervous, because so far everyone has been pretty harsh on the writers. We've read seven stories this semester, and there was only one I thought was good and most people in the class disagreed with me. Anyway, it came to be my turn for workshop and most of the class raved about it. All of the guys in the class loved it--they were comparing me to J.D. Salinger (Catcher in the Rye) and Ernest Hemingway! I was so incredibly excited. A lot of the girls didn't like it, they said it was too vulgar, but that's what I was going for. I like to shock and offend in my writing. Most importantly my teacher liked it and told me after class that with some work on the format (I'm terrible at paragraphing) and fleshing out one of the characters more I could send it out to try to get published. This is such a big deal for me. I was so worried about what everyone would think of it and I was prepared to hear horrible things. I'm so excited!

So far its been a good week. I met a guy, got some hot action, and my story was a success! My eating has been pretty good too--

Breakfast:
Special K Bar (90)...I was in a rush

Lunch:
Pita with babaganoush (eggplant) cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and tzahiki sauce (380)
Baked sour cream and onion chips (140)

Snack:
Fat Free Pudding (100)

Dinner:
1 slice cheese pizza (350)

Dessert:
Watermelon (50)
2 Weight Watchers Chocolate Covered Coconut Candies (100)

I'm excited about going to the Melting Pot! I've never been there...I will definitely have to splurge...

:) :) :)
 
Damn girl, I would love to read your story. It would be awesome if you did get it published. GO for it... shoot for the stars!
You are having the greatest week! You go girly! Woo Woo! tee hee
And some hot action to top it all off!

Fuunky your on a roll!!! i hope you get published too that would be so awesome!!!(id read it for sure :cool: )

holy crap... i've been busy and haven't read your diary for a while - things are going awesome for you!!! I'm soooo proud of everything you are doing and it is so great to hear you excited about this guy and it seems like he is excited about you too...

the melting pot should be AWESOME! we have one here in Nashville, but I haven't been yet - I'm jealous!
 
Hey everyoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. You guys are so funny and so wonderfully supportive.

I went out with Dan again tonight and we had a good time...we went to the Melting Pot and ate a lot of food. It was really good...I ate so much though! I bet I gained five pounds...

But we went back to my house and burned some calories. :)

Not enough though--he hasn't tried to sleep with me yet. I don't know what to make of it. My last one was trying to talk me into it the first time we kissed. This one seems to want to take his time, which is nice I suppose. I just don't know how to take it...

So Melting Pot ruined any chance at having a low cal day, but it was well worth it. I'll be careful the next few days.

Breakfast:
Egg Beaters (60)
1 Slice Lite Wheat Toast (40)
2 Slices Veggie Bacon (60)
Orange Cranberry Juice (80)

Lunch:
"Tofurkey" Sandwich on lite whole wheat with a slice of white american (250)
Cheez Doodles (150)
Watermelon, Grapes, Pineapple, Strawberries (50)

Dinner: :eek:
The Melting Pot! Sooooo good. We had a beer based cheddar cheese fondue that we dipped bread, vegetables, and apples in, then I had a salad with raspberry vinegarette, then we had a red wine garlic broth for dipping, which I dipped mushrooms, artichokes, eggplant, and tofu in, and then for dessert...

Dark and white chocolate swirled together, which we dipped strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, pound cake, cheese cake, brownies, and pineapple in. :eek:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

If I keep seeing this guy I'm going to get fat again. :cool:
 
LOL, sounds like you had a blast!
Don't worry about gaining weight..... going out to eat only happens in the begining of the relationship ( I think) LOL
anyway..... you'll just have to do more exercising!

As far as him not trying to do anything yet, I think thats great. Shows hes a true gentleman... at least you guys have kissed and stuff.... Maybe he's shy about that, maybe he's a virgin! you never know! Would that be fun! LOL I am so bad... ok...
 
Fuunky,
Are you walking on air, or what?! I haven't read your diary in a few days and WOW! Cool about the guy, the tall guy (good about the not jumping into the sack)... Awesome about the short story... (Hadn't had you pegged for a "shocking and offensive" author, but I know you have lots of 'tude. I'd love to see it. Just to say you are a published author would be sooo cool. Heck, even if nothing happens and you get to live with the fact that your class didn't rip you apart.... thumbs up!)...
Okay. Now I get to the jealous part. Cool date at the Melting Pot. First of all, Christina is right- dates to expensive restaurants are "just in the beginning," :) so right there I am jealous of the fabulous date. Secondly, you went tot he Melting Pot! I tried to get hubby to take me there for our anniversary. He called it the restaurant equivilant to a chick flick, kind of a chick eats. (He isn't a huge fan of desserts, so it would have been wasted cash...)
Thanks for keeping a diary. I at least get the pleasure of you enjoying a date! :p LOL
Enjoy yourself...
Totallyscrappy
 
Woohoo girl sounds like you had a blast, dont worry about him taking his time, hes prolly shy and doesnt want to push you to fast into anything, i think its sweet that hes taking his time :) one can have lotsa fun kissing and stuff ;)
 
Darn girl im MIA for a few weeks and your whole life has jumped alive lol. If you get your story published I want a signed copy thank you lol and if you don’t I would love you to email it to me so I can read it. How exciting for you woo hoo.
