Thank you all

Thanks so much for the kind words of encouragment that a lot of you had given for the posting I did earlier this month. I have read them all and I think I am just being paranoid! I know that the more a person has to lose the faster it comes off. I started at 350lbs and am now down 76lbs.. weighing in at 274. I weighed more the day I got married than i do now.. so I think I was feeling a little depressed, but you all have made me feel soooooo much better! Thank you all again!

Glad you're feeling better Elaine! This is a very emotional time for all of us...our habits have had to change and a lot of us had complications, etc. Our hormones are out of whack from the rapid weight loss, and I don't know about anyone else, but I know sometimes I hid behind my weight and it's a little scary coming out into the world. Even though I have sometimes questioned my decision, I know now that this has truly been a blessing for me, and I feel so fortunate to have had this opportunity. Hugs, Nancy -80
