Forty-three not forty-through

I'm divorced...twice. I'm a mom. I'm a curvy lady. I'm 43. And I'm getting ready to get back out into the dating world...again. In a city that has a huge gay population. (Before you say anything, I love my gay sisters and brothers but it makes it that much harder for a straight lady to get a date in this city!) While conventional wisdom might see these as strikes against me, I see it as a challenge. And I'm going to blog about it every step of the way.


I'm curvy. I've lost over 60 pounds in the past year and still have a few left to loose. I exercise and eat right but occasionally indulge. Thing is, I'm never going to be a size 2. Heck I'll probably never be in single digits. Right now I'm a size 14/16 - depending on the clothing manufacturer. I love my body and I love living in it! I've lost the weight because I wanted to be healthier and feel healthier. Not because society dictates that I should.

I've been divorced twice. The first one is my kid's dad. The second was a rebound relationship. I've been dating off and on for a couple of years and just had my relationship of 8 months disintegrate about 3 months ago. (That's a subject of another post!) So, I'm a bit shy of jumping back out there.,,but it's time.

And I'm a mom - 2 preteen kids who I love more than anything else in this world.

I'm 43...in a world that worships youth.

And just for good measure...I'm a geek. I work in information technology.

And I'm looking for a guy who can appreciate all of these things about me.

Hello Atlanta, Curvy is back on the market!!!
