Hilarious! We've both fallen victim to a case of mistaken identity. (Who's on first?

JulieAnn,
I understand what you are feeling. I don't regret my choice to have had the surgery...but there are still alot of triggers and issues for me. BUT... like Carol ( I think it was Carol) said...you have made sooooo many positive changes to be proud of. I was really dreading going to my 7 month Dr. appt because at that point I still had not lost 100 lbs. My doctor actually laughed at me. Not because I didn't loose the weight...but because I was letting that get to me. He basically told me that I was right where I needed to be on the weight loss and that he was impressed with my exercise and eating plans and the way that I have followed up with the nutrionist. ALL POSITIVE CHANGES FOR ME!!!
I guess I want instant results...lets face it, we all do. We are competitive...we want to be the first to cross the finish line...I guess we all need to look around and see everyone else..not just look at them but see them. I am proud of you JulieAnn...you had the guts to actually write down what I was feeling. You are such a truthful and inspiring person. I APPRECIATE THAT!!!
You are not a failure...you are a positive breath of fresh air!
Thank you for being sooooo honest, truthful and open about your feelings...it made me realize that I am not alone. I would love to have been one of the people who had made my goal weight already and am on my way to enjoying everyday life...the truth is I am transitioning...but weather or not I enjoy is up to me!!! SO, YES!!!! I want to enjoy this life, every last second of it....goal weight or not!
Thanks again!!!

Oops! Mistaken identity here! Carol, I didn't mean to respond as if you were the one who posted the original message. I read and wrote too quickly, and now there's egg on my face!
(I hear that egg makes a great facial mask....
) Anyway, I definitely feel that writing out my thoughts helped me sort through some things for myself, as well. Blessings all 'round, right?

Thank you for your kind words, JulieAnn. You put a million dollars into my back pocket! Actually, though, YOU're the one who did all of those great things...In recording your many accomplishments, I got the easy part.
Hey, we've all been where you were; that's why AMOS is such a great resource for all of us. Whether we reach out in our moments misery or in times marked by happiness, we know we'll be well-received and supported by those who genuinely care. Isn't that a blessing?
I'm rooting for you! Email anytime....

When I wrote this post, I was obviously down in the dumps, today when I returned check the messages I was feeling a little better. Now I feel a lot better. Not many people can turn thoughts like I had into thoughts like Melody's unless they really read into my words. I am so impressed at how kind she was in her words. I will try harder to think more positively. It suddenly, doesn't seem to much of a task, since I have accomplished so much already. Thanks again Melody for Your kind words I will always remember this lesson and only hope that I too can see the positive as clearly as you have.
JulieAnn
