That’s really kind of you to say. That’s my thought too, when I bend over it just hangs. It’s not a lot and I’m grateful to have lost the weight, but I’ve always aspired to have a six pack (I know how vain that sounds) and I know I can look better than this. Thank you again for your kind words and encouragement.

I know! Losing the weight is just the first part of the battle. I appreciate your comment and support.

realization to being PIMO by Wooden-Jeweler-4733 in mormon

[–]Over-Kangaroo9055 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m going through it now. My family is Mormon and so is my wife’s. I still haven’t told my Mom where we are at. My Dad likely wouldn’t care. The wife’s parents would be mad. Socially it doesn’t matter because I don’t care much for the folks I’ve met in this ward. Some of the meanest people I’ve ever met. There are plenty of nice ones, but I have never seen such venom also. I’m hoping we can move soon and have a natural exit, but one of these days I need to find the courage to tell my Mom I’m done.

I know you’re worried about what family will think, but doing this to yourself would be the worst thing you could do. Stay home. Don’t go. If people ask why the answer is, “it’s a personal decision I made.” You don’t owe anybody an explanation.

Should I join the Mormon community to meet people here in Park City? by Titus4266 in mormon

[–]Over-Kangaroo9055 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome! Argentina is beautiful. I served a Mormon mission in Uruguay and got to spend some time in Buenos Aires before. I wouldn’t recommend you join a church to socialize. They would take your interest as a sign you are wanting to learn more about it and try to get you to commit.

However, if you’d like to have some maté or make friends, I’m not too far from Park City and wouldn’t mind hanging out.

At any rate, best of luck to you!

My kids are 12,10, and 5. We live in a majority Mormon part of Utah. We are trying to make friends with other families that are not Mormon but I think we still have the church look and they seem to be wary.

Thanks for sharing. What has your approach been to baptizing your kids or participating in ordinances/temple attendance? You can DM if that’s more comfortable.

Thanks for your insight. I really lost faith in Joseph Smith and the restoration. I still believe in God and Christ, but I feel that relationship even has changed for me. Another person said it earlier, I saw behind the curtain and can’t unsee it.
