I'm not QUITE in the same situation as you are, but pretty close. I met my boyfriend online about 4 months ago. He lives in Idaho and I'm up in Northern Alberta. It's really difficult for me to loose weight cause when I get home from work all I want to do is get on my computer or my phone and talk to him. I have to really motivate myself to get off my butt and take some time and exercise. The temptation just to sit and talk to him is HUGE! I know that he wants me to be happy and healthy though and so he tries to get me to do what's good. I know that he supports me in whatever I do and just wants what's best for me.
We see each other once a month if we're lucky, someone's got to fly one way or the other.... It's difficult but we're doin it! You can do it too! :)

Peace my sparkpeople friends...ok here's my story.
My fiance is leaving for school for a year. He'll be leaving in February 2007 for school and won't back until next year.
However I'm going to spend the summer with him but I would like to lose about 2o pounds before the next time I do see him which will be June of 2007.
Finally by next year this same time I want to have lost a total of 40pounds. Can I do it? Hell yeah! :) I know it's going to be hard with him away and stress might creep in. But with this plan and goals to accomplish it's all the motivation I need.
Not to mention us getting married :) we haven't set the date yet but he wants to surprise me so I'm keeping that in my motivation kit to. I just wanted to know if any one feels the way I do and what have you been doing about it.
Meaning how do you handle the stress with your mate being gone even if it's not long as his and mines but how do you keep focus? O I forgot to tell you that he's not going to be in the same state as me and that's the hard part.
By the way visit me here sometimes to listen to my music www.myspace.com/ganviebysoundhealing read all about me here :)
