I'm not happy with it, and I am working to change it. I was actually going to boot camp three times a week and working really hard at exercising while at the same time gaining 50 pounds during my divorce. I was also eating everything in site due to stress probably (yikes imagine how much I would have gained if not for boot camp!)

These ladies are right weight does not come off as easily as it used to. But I will just keep working at it, because I am uncomfortable. Not because it might get me a man. smile

I am not unhappy with my life. I'm not someone who believes I need a man to "complete me" or whatever. Having someone to share life with might be nice, but it might also bring other challenges.

I know plenty of people who are heavier than me and older than me who have found love. I was not bemoaning the fact that I have not been dating, I was just stating that fact as part of my update here. Maybe what I should have said is statistically finding the love of your life after age 50 is less likely (and being overweight does not help any). If it happens I'll be open to it, if not that will be okay too.

Thanks for all the responses.
