Happy Re-Birthday All!

Congratulations Jamie! I was wondering where you have been. It's funny how our lives have changed so much for the better that we no longer have time to be on the boards...it's a good thing. Congrats & thanks for the inspiration! Margo

Jaime, YOU ROCK!!!!!!! Enjoy your new life and nevermind the naysayers, they are just JEALOUS!!!!!!! Lou Ann

Hi Jamie, Amen!!!! You are so right... Life is so different, so many people are different now. Things have really changed, I have always been the FAT sister, FAT friend, FAT daughter, FAT co-worker, and the FAT etc. NOT ANYMORE! Like you, I never saw how BIG I was. People are so strange with their reactions toward me now, I'm not one to brag about the amount of weight I've lost. I am now beginning to have trouble at work, so I believe it's probably time to make a change, I've been there for 7yrs and feel very strongly that problems are arising because of the weight loss. I think that people get tired of others complimenting you over and over again. It really does hurt to find out who it is among your friends/family are so shallow. I'm still the same me, have the same feelings/reactions just with a different body. I can't understand whats going on. My husband and boys have not changed thank God, but I would say that I've seen changes in approximately 75% of the people who are in my daily life. Your trip sounds like it was wonderful, please post some pictures. Take care, Syndi
