Following post is the email I sent awhile back. It's a little personal...but helps give the idea of what I already have done/said.
Now - I do feel I've done some 180's and have started down the path that leads to your plan, Rob, but maybe just not fully. I've changed my attitude around the house, the way I do things, been a happier person...started school...dressing more nicely and working out. However, I haven't been going out really as I honestly don't have a lot of friends in town - female or male!
