Checking in, its been way to long sorry

Hey all, I haven't had a chance to check in for so long. I am currently down 79lbs and am 179. I am in size 16 now I can't believe it and I am finally joining a gym that I really love and I am so excited about it. Eating has finally turned the corner for me. I am able to eat 6 times a day about 4oz each time. I am trying new things and as everyone told me, I have finally turned the corner, Praise God. I have missed you all so much. Things have been really hard at home. As I have said in the past, we are losing our home, we lost our car, by Gods grace we have another one at half the price and a better car fuel wise. The one blessing is that we could be in the house for quite a while during foreclosure because the market is so bad. So all I am hoping for is 1.5 years so my kids can be in this house when they graduate high school. What a great blessing that will be. I am still smoking and I truly ask all of you to pray for me that I quit on New Years, it is so important to me. The other prayer I have is that this coming year My family and myself truly get to a place in Christ that is where He wants us. One that is real, going to church, being available to help others. I love you all and pray your holidays bring you great joy. Love Trish

Welcome home, Trish! It's great to see you back! I indeed will be praying for you! It sounds like you've had a rough year, but with God's love and help, things WILL turn around for you. I hope you can somehow save your home from foreclosure. I'll pray that that happens. Great job with your eating! Thank God you've turned that corner (I recently turned that same corner, sure glad we didn't mow each other down lol)! I hope you continue to do great with your weight loss and your health! I've lost a total of 84 lbs now and am feeling great, finally. I'm wearing a size 12 and they are fitting me loose. I tried on a few pairs of size 10 pants yesterday and they fit a bit snug, but they button and zip with no problem! HOW EXCITING! I also bought a dress that I'm wearing tomorrow night for my husband's Christmas party. I about passed out when it fit me. It's a size 8 dress!! OMG A SIZE 8!!! I'll see if I can't get a picture in it and post it soon. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed and prosperous New Year! God bless you!! Brenda
