Hi! Well I had planned on making this a video, but I can’t seem to get that together so let’s do this!
Have you changed your mindset towards weight loss since you started dating J? I noticed the other day that you said that he loves you at any size, which is very important, but I’m wondering if YOU have reframed the way you think of your weight since getting involved in a committed relationship?
Oh I love this question! Thank you to whomever asked this. The true answer to this question is yes and no. I feel more confident in my body and myself since we’ve begun dating. Having someone romantically love you unconditionally is something I’ve never experienced before, and I know he loves me at any size, which makes me love myself more. Does that make sense? However, I still want to get to a healthy weight for our future, and I always will want that until I reach my goal weight, despite being in a committed relationship.
Why you so sexy?! 
– Julie ; but really when are you moving to Florida so we can be real-life besties?
Haha! I love you, Julie. Umm, BRB – hoping a plane now. Seriously though, I really hope we get to meet in person someday!
Outside of healthier eating and exercising, what other things are you doing to better yourself as a person?
I’ve been sucking lately at both of these (eating healthy and exercising) but am recommitting myself to this journey again. I sound like a broken record, but I’ll continue to do that until I reach a healthy, happy weight. Anyway, to better myself as a person… hmm. I love to read, and read a lot of personal development books and memoirs. I think everyone we meet or “meet” in the sense of a memoir has something to teach us and I love to learn. I also try to volunteer, but am also a chronic over-scheduler and try to do too much. When life slows down a bit more I really want to try to get more involved in my community. Also, I know this isn’t for everyone (and I try not to talk about it too much here because I don’t want to offend anyone) but I’ve also tried to start more of a relationship with Jesus. After being angry for so long, it feels good to let that off my chest. However, I still have A LOT of questions, and am always looking to learn more from people that are strong in their faith. E-mail me if you’d like to talk about that!
Will you write posts about your love story? (feel free to start now)
Haha! I love the feel free to start now part. Sure! I’d love to share more about J and how we feel in love, and continue to fall more in love every day. #socheesy. Let me know what you want to know!
What does J do for a job?
He’s a licensed attorney, and is currently working as a Realtor. I’m so proud of him for following his dreams!
How did you and J meet?
We met online! Out of the blue, one day I decided enough was enough and signed up for a free OkCupid profile. He saw my picture and profile, messaged me and asked me out on our first date. We had our first date and then 2 days later I left for a conference. We talked the whole time I was gone, had our second date right when I got home and the rest is history! I love our love story 
What do you love most about starting a podcast?
I love the opportunity to talk with one of my besties and connect with our listeners. Unfortunately, that has fallen to the wayside as of late (my fault) and for that, I am truly sorry.
This was really fun for me and I’d love to do it again. Think out loud, & ask your questions above, and I’ll continue to answer them – way more quickly than last time, I promise!
