hiya i'm Natalie and also new to "buddyslim" i recently ended a relationship with a guy i thought was "the one" but he wasn't. we had been together for nearly 2 years. during that time of being all "comfy" in a relationship i gained 40lbs. now being single and going out with my skinny friends made me realise i need to lose the weight. the way i see it it will be total closure from my last relationship and i will be totally FREE!
