so, apparently, the woman who declined the public proposal did so b/c he had cheated and this was his way of fixing the damage? I didnt read it cause there are far too many comments but good for her!
Nxt man I date I'm doing a self check and assessment every 2 months. Has he added value to my life? How consistent is he? Are the conversations helping me grow? Does he still make me feel as wanted? Have I overlooked red flags.
7 days post op. I'm still pretty swollen. I cried like a baby once I got to see what my new body looks like. 3yrs...80# loss...they removed 15.2 pounds of skin. My discipline moving forward will come from my determination to never be obese again.
I'm 24wks pregnant.
I've never been passed 8wks before.
My heart just become more and more grateful that my baby is growing and is healthy.
I can't wait to meet this little person π

So, wldnt THAT be the reason? Why do you need another?
My man pumps b/c he's a gentleman, and I don't need to get my hands dirty if he's with me.π€·π½ββοΈ
He calls it "Contributing to your Cinderella cause" π
I was cookin naked as he watched. I didn't kno he captured me. But he listens to me. He sees me. He reminded me that I'm a piece of art even when I think no one is watching. & he is always watching. I love that I can be myself w/ him. I love that I feel safe. π
We made it through our first road trip and love each other even more. π₯° The weather finally broke this morning on our way out but we had a dope weekend nonetheless. I'm so happy I don't have to travel alone anymore!
I now weigh almost the same as I do in the first pic. That was the beginning of losing 80#. I've watched myself slowly gain & gain weight as I become less & less happy w/ myself.
Pray w/ me to fight my eating disorder so that I can be healthy. Physically and mentally. β₯οΈππ½
I did it ya'll. Right before my 40th birthday!!
@justsanaa
I loved ur boldness when u shaved yours off. And after watching you in
#NappilyEverAfter
,I was truly inspired to change! Thank u for being u!!
Imma be 44yrs old when my son is born. I remember when I had a HARD stop at 36. Then thought 38. By 40 I was like FUCK THEM KIDS. π
But losing one at 42 w/ my love was so hard. We truly decided to leave it in God's hands. And here we are πππ½
We made it. At 36wks. 11/14/22, a miracle was born.
It was sudden & scary. But your nephew is here y'all!
Thank u all for ALWAYS being so loving & supportive π
My heart is full.
Every day he does something to make me feel more adored. I'm not moving in doubt or fear although there's been an overwhelming feeling of change. I pace myself but he let's me know that when I fall, he is here to catch me. π
@pearlfectten
I always believe they tolerated more in the name of "marriage". Sacrificing happiness, stability, and even love b/c it was frowned upon to divorce.
Women I know were being raped by their husbands & thinking it was normal.
My rock.
We lost our baby today. We didn't even kno how much we wanted one until we were having one.
I'm not sure what God's plan is for me but Im so grateful to have a partner who can be so caring thru this w/ me.
Maybe one day. Maybe not. But we'll certainly have each other
@elcavaqueen
Word to ur momma. As soon as me and my sis went to school, my mom got her GED, drivers license & a job & said "fuck this". Once she learned money mgmnt & abt credit, it was a wrap.
He did this on our first date. My initial thought was "wtf am I gonna do w/ a pic of the 2 of us π" but he came over to my side of the table anyway & had me take this.
He knew. He always knew. π₯°β€
3 wks
Fully committed to the gym
85% committed to the diet. π
For the nxt 3 weeks I have to fully commit to prepping ALL my meals. I got lazy after 1.5wks. Im still seeing progress & body recomp. But I cam still do better.
#tiredofbeingfat
My son turned 2wks old yesterday πππ½π₯°
We've been through & learned so much w/ each other already! He's fully breastfed now. We struggle a little w/sleeping at night. I cry happy tears when I look at him sometimes. I still can't believe he is mine to love and raise πβ€οΈ
He really printed this pic so that I can bring it to the office.
The cute part is that he isn't tech savvy at all. & he must have gone to Walgreens asked them to do this for him β€
People don't lie because they don't want to hurt your feelings.
People lie because the truth may provoke you to make choices that won't serve their interests.
Chapter 42:
There is no more reaching back to try and "find" who I believed my best self to be. I am my best self. In this moment, as I look forward to where I'm going & want to be, I decided that this is the best version of me to carry me there.
Happy Birthday to ME!! π

She IS Puerto Rican and Italian.
Still white tho.
Just like no one lets Afro-Latinos be black, they ARE black.
Not all Latinos are Afro-Latinos.
Not all Ricans are Afro-Latino.
Y'alls nephew is 6 months.
He weighs 20lbs 3oz
27" long!
He eats squash and carrots.
Today we are going to try eggs.
I can't believe my baby is growing so fast. π’ πππΎ
Truly blessed that he is healthy.
I'm 42. I said it a million times. I wld have stayed single another 10yrs if it meant I wldnt have to settle for a love that was mediocre or untrue.
There are thousands of things to be happy for in life that do not involve being half loved by a man.
Remember that.
"Your scars are someone else's sign of hope."
I had a choice. 15 pounds of loose skin or the removal of it that wld leave a scar. It is a reminder to me to never keep anything in my life undone. That includes burning the bridge to all the emotional scars that led me here.

use secret flying, momondo, hopper, skyscanner... most of these have tracking apps too. Which will let you know the cheapest times to fly to selected destinations.
