Hello one and all! I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. For listening, for sharing, for laughing, for crying and for being part of my weight loss journey. Mid-way through this journey (when i knew i was a snailerita) I decided that i was going to keep my goal in mind but that i was going to savor this journey. And OH how i've enjoyed this journey. I wish i could adequately put into words how you've made my journey better. When I was in pain, your words of kindness band-aided my heart! This was the first year i didn't lay in bed and cry all day and eat disgusting food all day out of sheer depression for my Jonathan, what a win for me! I've begun to exercise, i hate to exercise,but i'm meeting with a personal trainer tonight. His name is Reed, he's the hottest thing i've ever seen and he's gayer then a parade float, but man he's great lust fodder! Thank you all for allowing me into your lives, I know i've gotten as much as i've given and G*D Bless you ALL. ANDI

It is us that should be thanking you my friend.. you are a kind and wonderful soul who gives of yourself to each of us day in and day out.. even when times have been hard for you.. It is easy to pass on wisdom when are are doing great... but letting people in to see the real you and putting yourself out there when you are as you say a "snailarita" it is hard. No matter if we are succeeding or failing you are right there to encourage, pump us up or congratulate us. You are an inspiration to me and I am sure everyone on this board..

Thank you for your kinds words Andi. You are a valued friend. The best bit I LOVE about your post is how you didn't act on your painful emotions. That to me expresses exactly how far you have come on this journey. Stuff the scales - this isn't all about numbers, it's about us - who we are and how we live, body mind and spirit, physical, mental and emotional. You are making great choices - and isnt' that what this is all about - having the freedom from food to make choices in our lives - not having food make the choices. Thanks for sticking around, even when things got tough, for giving sound advice, even when it may not have been valued and for keeping my feet on the ground. PS can you send Reed over when you are done with him??????????? hee hee.
