Need Advice...you've come to the right place!

Hi Star,

I am crying out to you I am really at my wits end with my relationship. My boyfriend of 3 years has been being really distant. He does not return my phone calls, texts, hours sometimes days. I understand that he works a lot he is in the entertainment field so his schedule is hectic. Although he has not made it all the way he continues to try and he wants me by his side but it’s hard since I hardly see him anymore. I remain faithful while he takes trips and do parties were I know there are pretty girls that they all hang out with after the show. I have seen photos of what goes on and I just don’t know if my heart can take it. He has been seen a few times with other women but when I ask his answer is always “We do business together!” I can’t tell what’s what anymore. Can you give me some advice? I do not know what to do.

Ms. Anonymous,

Relationships aren’t always easy; there will always be trials and tribulations that all relationships face. Can you weather the storm? Is the question. Due to the fact he is pursuing a career I believe you should back him up 100% however never play yourself. I suggest you have a dinner just you and him (prepared by you) express your true feelings and ask for his opinion on your relationship and exactly where you two stand. The fact is this is just the beginning once his success becomes major your time together will be even shorter unless you have the ability to travel with him. Gain an understand have faith and rely on love to pull you thru. Never believe what anyone says about your mate until you have solid proof of your own those women may be just business ventures. As far as the calling and texts, he is a busy person so he may not be able to get to the phone in cases like that just send a sweet message letting him know he is on your mind and then let him call you. It will be less tension when you do get him on the line. I hope this answers your question. And if he continues to make you feel this way, SWEETIE MOVE ON…time waits for no one.

Hey Star,

I am so happy to be a part of Size is Sexy, finally the world can see that we are beautiful too. I wrote in because I am having a major issue with my friends and family. I lost about 100lbs I now weigh 215lbs and not only am I happy but I am healthier than I was 4 years ago. It’s seems that everyone is happy for me but they also make hurtful comments about me that are starting to get me down. Before I was teased for being FAT no everyone makes me feel like I should not be happy about my new look. They say I am stuck on myself and that I think I’m so glamorous. I am not conceited I am just confident they don’t realize that my attitude was the same at 315lbs. should I just cuts those people off or should I just let them continue to talk down on me? Help me out girl!

Tameka,

Your story touched me because I know how people can be. In all honesty you can’t please everyone. The main point that I picked out of your story was that YOU ARE HAPPY continue to stay that way. The fact that they point out to you that you think you are glamorous….believe me, they think you are too. Some people cannot accept change as well as others so they try to make fun of it. Sounds to me you are on the right track surround yourself with positive energy as that will play a major part in your happiness. I wouldn’t ever tell you to cut anyone out of your life but do what is best for you. Keep on going I am more than happy for you. Don’t forget about our DIVA OF THE DAY section …send in some photos I would love to see your photo up. Then the world can see just how glamorous you are. We are the movement SIZE IS SEXY….
