Honored, Flattered, Proud!

Karen,

You look amazing.  I can't wait to see the commercial.  I hope to meet you at the next LI meeting at Panera.

Hugs,

Patty

Hi Patty, Thanks! I can't believe the commercial will be on TV; when I went to the fiming, I was under the impression it was just for Dr. Garber's website. (that's sort of what I was told) I'm glad I didn't know until I got there...I would have been doubly nervous! Look forward to meeting you as well. It's a great meeting. Hugs, Karen

Oh My Gosh!!...........Karen that's awesome.  You have done so well for yourself.  You truly are an inspiration to the rest of us.  You always have such a bright, sunny attitude.  It really is infectious.  Can't wait to see you on tv!! 

Awwwwwww....thanks Betsy. I appreciate the compliments. Being obese for most (if not all) of my life had left me insecure and with low self esteem. It's nice to get compliments...even though they are hard to believe but I am working on that in counseling. This surgery doesn't work on our brains unfortunately....that's left to us as individuals. I feel that changing our way of thinking about almost everything is necessary to longterm success. Keep up the good work! You are doing very well! Hugs, Karen
