one good thing, I guess

[jay]

All of the stress and missed meals over the past 5 weeks has led to some modest weight loss... 10 lbs since mid-May, and that with an irregular workout schedule. I'm back down to 15 lbs over my actuarial-table "ideal" weight of 167. One belt notch. Some more exercise would be good, both for toning the abs to fit and for stress reduction...

You might be surprised, especially among those who are self-described geeks.

And if your attempts at being attractive are doomed to failure, why bother slimming down?

I might be surprised someday, but it hasn't happened yet. In any case, slimming-down is just a beneficial side-effect of being too stressed to eat regularly... it wasn't planned.

Brian, historically, attractive women have fancied you. One married you, and you're involved with at least two. I have no idea where you get some of these ideas. Were you being serious?

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

Yes -- those were exceptions to the broader rule?

As far as you're willing to believe, perhaps.

You know, I'm really full of c$%^ on this one... sigh. I am handsome, intelligent, and even sometimes charming. If people aren't closer to me it is because I keep them at a distance, or they're wary of my emotional baggage. Those three were/are exceptions... in that they persevered past the smokescreens and emotional traps I set.
