Happy Surgiversary to **ME**

1 year! 1 whole unmidigated year! what have I learned in that one year? PEOPLE eat way too freaking much food. my CLIENTS are way to freaking spoiled NEWBIES worry way too freaking much about plateaus and stalls. my KIDS whine way too freaking much. and I am a person of VALUE. I have value and I do not appreciate me nearly as much as I should have over the past 41.5 years. today I resolve that not only am I a survivor, but I am a valuable and that I shall not discount myself or my self worth. If I had known 1/2 of what I know now, a year ago, wow. I would have worried less and lived more. if I had know 1/2 of what I know now 20 years ago, I would have ate less and lived more! less importantly: 2006 / 03 / 10 - 275.0 lbs BMI - 43.0 - Extremely Obese 2006 / 05 / 31 - 247.5 lbs BMI - 38.8 - Obese 2007 / 05 / 31 - 147.5 lbs BMI - 23.1 - Normal Kat (Klein, Texas) http://www.wretchedheathen.com

hey, it feels great to be the little sister of the board... the youngest pouch, but probably the oldest broad. ;)

Congrats to you Kat - what a year it's been!!

I keep singing I get by with a little help from my friends....

verry well said and Happy One year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

asked my husband if he knew what day it was, he didnt asked him how he felt that I had survived and succeeded in the last 12 months, he said that he had not thought about it either way. I smacked him

sounds like mine...LOL he was away on business for my 1 year, so I spent it cleaning and eating string cheese for dinner then TV and bed...LOL

awe string cheese, dinner of champions!
