Your ponderings, and facts, are very good. I’ve found that this hunger you speak of, or I might put it as self-denial in my own life, can actually be very satisfying. I feel in charge, and less controlled when I am successful. And I find I am constantly re-evaluating, like the other day when I ate way too many m&ms, which left me feeling very ill from the sugar high (and crash)! I feel so much better on so many levels when I am a bit “hungry.” And I have to tell you that you look great, and you know it, and that in itself is very attractive! Well done.

Ahhh mark and I wondered if this was the case. I like you. We like him. And yeah – you guys together? Pretty great.

Autumn is the perfect time to have a manfriend, imo.

I am so happy to see that I know this boy you are dating! Didn’t we first meet him in Eden? And he WAS nice! I love LOVE the airport analogy. It makes me feel less guilty about complaining about my day when in real life I have a good life.

I love your two posts… they are awesome, you are awesome, and you LOOK awesome too. Congrats on the losses and gains you’ve achieved these past months. =)

I also must confess that being under the impression that you live in the DC area, I find myself looking for you when I go to church on another ward’s night or at stake conference, hoping to see you… And I also feel a little embarrassed that I might feel a little star-struck if I were to actually meet you and hope that I don’t see you… Talk about a conflict of feelings. =D
