Dear   [Beejay],

Glad to hear you’ve found someone who treats you more as you REALLY DO deserve to be treated.

I’m still playing the field. Really haven’t been trying lately however, as I want to make my weight loss goals before risking feminine rejection again. Once I reach goal, I’m going to redo my wardrobe with clothes that accentuate my high-pride points. So, gone will be the baggy pants, shirts, and sweaters, replaced with tighter-fitting attire, which I hope will make me more appealing to you ladies. The women I know however, say that the weight loss won’t positively affect my success much, as they felt that I was too worried about my weight to begin with. But, I hope they’re wrong. As I said before, I feel MUCH better and more energetic. So, even if this doesn’t attract desirable mates, at least the health ramifications of the weight loss make it all worth while.

Well, off to lunch. Today, I’m making split pea soup with cooked, whole rye mixed in. Yum.

Take care, and I’ll be in touch as mid June gets closer.
