I have been overweight all my life. At times (college) I was only about 15 pounds overweight, but I've also been 140 pounds overweight (when I met my second husband, in fact). I'm a total yo-yo weight wise. The bottom line is, I have a beautiful face and I'm a beautiful person inside. My smile lights up a room and I'm confident (and sounding very conceited right now!). I'm a great catch because I'm independent, financially and emotionally and intelligent with a great sense of humor and a warm caring heart. My problem is that I'm completely intolerant of men's flaws so they get on my nerves and I reject them.

The true irony is, when I was in college and was just a little overweight, I had no confidence and stuck to one serious boyfriend. When I was at my heaviest, I had reached a point that I liked who I was and felt confident about myself in spite of my weight, and I had more dates than I had time for.

It's more about your self confidence and belief in yourself than it is about your weight. Were there men who didn't date me because of my weight? Probably. But, would those be the men who would stick with you through a pregnancy, a mastectomy, a 90 year old wrinkled body, or a colostomy? Probably not.
