Well, it's been 18 months since I wrote that first post. Here is a quick update on MCL
1) I received notice of a job change in July 2011
2) My soon-to-be ex moved back to our home city and is living with her parents
3) My job changed and I'm now living on the east coast
4) I'm living "alone" for the first time in my life
5) I'm shopping for furniture for the first time in my life...a style that I want/like
6) I've dropped about 30 LBS since January 2012
7) I've joined a gym to help me lose the weight
8) I'm healthy and happy and building a good relationship with myself.
9) I've had sex twice in the last six months (really good sex too)
10) I'm loving My Complex Life
Since moving to the east coast, I've learned how to drink a little alcohol, no I don't over do it, but I have found that I enjoy how it makes me feel. Relaxed and liberated. I've met some wonderful men on line who I've become great friends with, and others who I would just like get naked with and F*ck all night long! HA!
I'm learning that I can say yes and I can say no to whatever I want to do with myself and also with another person. I've had some dates and I have enjoyed them immensely, some fun times hanging out with gay men, feeling comfortable with them and with myself. It's actually quite liberating to know that I am accountable to myself and God and not to another human.
I will continue to update this blog with my new adventures and hopefully some photos of my weight loss journey.
Cheers,
Jim
