Yay it's Friday!

Hey Losers! I just want to say thank you to all of you for your love, support and sharing your stories... and that I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.... I'm so glad that we have obesityhelp.com and each other. I don't know what I'd do without you and my support group... I love being able to share and get feedback. I'm still at a stall and not letting it get to me. I've only lost like 2.5 pounds in the last couple weeks. It's frustrating, but I'm a fighter and not giving up. I really only have about 50 pounds to go so I'm excited about that. I have my check up with my surgeon on Tuesday. I'm excited because I feel that I'm doing really well. I can't believe the change in myself. I'm so much more confident and the people around me are seeing that. I think my hubby is pretty impressed with that as well. I have to say that the last month or so has been a very content time in my life. I have tried to get rid of any negativity that was in my life before and focus on the good things in my life. I am starting to think that I've not been antisocial after all... I'm just eliminating negative people from my life and people that try to drag us down. My relationship is so much better with my husband. It was good before, but I feel like it's better now. He has been so supportive and awesome through all of this. My attitude change has had a good impact on our relationship. This really is a life changing experience. Not only has my relationship with food changed but my relationship with myself and who I am has been altered as well. I am happy to say that this is a very positive step that we've all taken and we all deserve a round of applause for the courage to take that step. We are all AWESOME and we deserve to be recognized for taking this step. We will no longer have a life sentence in fat prison (I stole that from Jackie Guerra). Thanks everyone for listening to me and I hope that you have a wonderful day and weekend. Love Michelle D.

Wow that was a great post Michelle! You're right about this taking courage to do what we've done. I'm really glad that you're feeling better about yourself and that your relationships have strengthened. I feel that way too and my husband has nicknamed me his "Incredible Shrinking Donna". It's a new life for all of us, and I plan to enjoy my second chance, and not squander it for a second! (hugs) Have a great weekend! Donna

aw thanks Incredible shrinking Donna. That's cute...

Michelle, I have to say what a blessing you have been to me on here......what you wrote was beautiful. I totally agree with you about not being anti social but getting rid of those who have negative vibes.... I am really starting to build a healthy self esteem....everybody has always said you're so pretty to bad you wouldn't lose weight......ummm.....do they not think that i have tried and tried....anyways i have been praying about them and how they hurt my feelings and told God I wanted him to heal my heart and not hold any animosity towards them hurting me and I can truly say it's going I love that when my husband puts his arms around me I am starting to feel small in his arms.He compliments me everyday although he always has....but it's different now. He tells me how proud of me he is and doesnt' take this surgery lightly, like alot of people who i tell think it is a easy fix.......HE KNOWS IT'S a hard road. I love that my teenage daughter thinks soon we will wear each other's clothes....(i hope so she's a size 7/8) I am glad that i have people on here that understand what i am going through and I understand what they are going through..and we can share with each other!

Aw! Thanks Crystal! I love you! I always love reading your posts and your daily thankful-s.

I Love you too Girl!!!!!!
