I MUST be PMSing... (long)

You sounded great to me!!!  No anger -- just heartfelt feelings that we do all work very hard, no one is perfect and while it may seem easy for some, EVERYONE struggles everyday.  We have ALL dealt with the embarassment of all the things you mentioned, plus a lot more.  Those of us at Burnsville coffee know who you were talking to and it IS NOT in her nature to be cruel to ANYONE so I knew where you were coming from.   Hugs to you GF!!! 

Darla Even though I don't know you except for your postings all I can say is a big WOW!  Big hugs to you! Your insignt was one of the most amazing things about WLS that I have ever read! Sorry you were feeling bad but I hope in some way writing all this down helped you! Have a super week. Jim

First off let me just say, I am sorry for not having time to respond till now.....It was an extremely busy weekend!!  Darla, your post brought me to alot of reflecting and every word you said was so right on!!! We get so caught up in the little things that the real reason that we are here is because we all have something in common. We are a melting pot of personalities and thru everyone on this board, I have learned so much about myself. I thank God for WLS and I thank God for all of you, especially you Darla. You are such a special woman and I admire your strength and value your friendship!  (((HUGS))) CarolN

Sometimes when I feel fluffy, I need to remind myself of how far I've come on this journey.

Sometimes, that involves going back through old profile entries, or some of the more heartfelt posts I've saved on here.

I just thought I'd share this old one with all you 'newer' people.  Hope it hits some buttons.

Keep on Truckin' ~

Well said my dear!!! Alot of people think we took the easy way out, well they need to be in our shoes, because it isnt easy!!!!!!!!!  and I couldnt be going thru this without you and everyone else's words of encouragment and support!!! Love ya!!! ~Jodi~
