Come on you know I sounded country!

I'm not sure I would ever be able to deny the region of the country I'm from....even if I wanted to..which I do not.

Well, I am in england and have a westcountry accent, which means people think Im a daft yokel who lives on a farm. I dont live on a farm.

I think most women, small or not, who want to be successful have to adopt aggressive qualities.

It is a shame that we are in the 21st century and are still subjected to sexist streotypes.

Good to see you back on your thread, WAT!

well Hi Y'all! sorry i haven't posted in a couple of days. i was at a class for work and didn't have access to a computer. i also thought i would through my southern influences in w/the salutation. you should hear me when i get off the phone w/my mom or dad, i suddenly have a southern accent. a few years ago i developed bell's palsy (half of your face becomes paralyzed) i don't have any permanent affects and it only lasted for a couple of weeks but for some reason i just started talking w/a really thick southern accent.

anyway......i'm 5 '2 and my H is 6 '1. i'm not going to say my weight yet but as of this past tuesday my weight loss is 38.2lbs. i still have about 28-30lbs to go before i'm at my IBW but i'm on my way <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

as far as the agressive vs confidence demeanor, i would agree, there is defintely a difference and i think that i came off as confident and assured (maybe a little feisty-my H's words) but it turned into agressiveness and i became domineering. now i'm back to trying to excude confidence and not come off as needy......so far so good but this has only been since the end of Feb but w/God's grace this will continue. I've thought about what the OW may be like in regards to is she more like me in being "strong" and that's what (one of the things) attracted my H to her or is it that she came off as needy and he wanted to rescue her? i have a feeling it was more of the former. because he has told me that she reminded him a lot of how i used to be <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> but anyway..............

hope all of you have a good weekend not sure what mine will turn out to be like. going over to a friends house tonight, i'm going to the gym and coming to work tomorrow, church and working out on sunday. i'm REALLY starting to miss my dogs. gotta go, continued prayers to all of you, y'all come back now ya hear!
