I wanted to check out Terry's merchandise store. I walked in, and looked around. I saw a Hulk Hogan doll. It looks like a Barbie, which is 12 inches. A normal wrestling figure is 6 inches.

I grabbed it, then went to the register

I grabbed it, then went to the register. I felt a pair of eyes on me, as I paid. I looked out of the corner of my eye, and couldn't believe who I saw.

ME: "Oh my gosh! Jimmy Hart!"
JIMMY: "Hi."
ME: "I didn't know you would be here."
JIMMY: "Sometimes I like to pop in."

I was embarrassed by the way he was staring at me.
ME: "I'm going to get going. Nice to see you."

I turned around, to leave.
VOICE: "Wait!"
I turned around, facing Terry. He was smiling.

TERRY: "You're not leaving before I give you a tour, are you?"
ME: "Um..."
TERRY: "Jimmy, this is my girlfriend, Karina."

Jimmy kept the same uninterested look, on his face. Terry came from behind the counter, for the tour. He kissed me, in front of Jimmy. I saw Jimmy look away. I wonder what his deal is. After the tour, Terry and I sat in the employee room.

ME: "I don't think Jimmy likes me."
Terry: "He just hasn't formally met you. He's very protective of me. He's like an annoying brother."
ME: "My sister is annoying, but so is my mom."
TERRY: "Maybe I can help with that."
ME: "It would probably make it worse. My mom hates wrestling. My sister would laugh at me for dating an older guy. My dad would chase you out of the house, because he does that with all of my sister's boyfriends."
TERRY: "Maybe they'll be happy you actually found someone, for once."
ME: "Not when you're old enough to be my dad!"

Terry chuckled, then kissed my cheek. He got up.

TERRY: "I have to go and make sure Jimmy doesn't mess up the place."
I went home and called Christi. I told her about everything, including my interaction with Jimmy.

ME: "He's probably wondering why Hulk Hogan is with a fat girl. I hate being judged by my weight."
CHRISTI: "I'm sure it's not that bad."
ME: "Yes it is. Even before Hulk came out and told him, he was judging."

I'm ready to actually focus on losing weight, instead of crying about it. Terry will be gone, with a storyline leading up to SummerSlam. That should give me a good start. The next day, I found a gym. I was nervous, because I didn't know what they would do with me. Someone walked to me.

MAN: "My name is Matthew. I will be your trainer."
