Not a FAILURE, but it has been a tough 1 year

You girls just hang in there! You can do it!
I'm about to come up on 9 months now. I know it won't be easy but I'm going to keep trying to do my best and stay with the rules.

Hi Rita,

Its been a while since I've been on the Boards so I'm not sure if you remember me.  But I remember you.  What an inspiration you were to me and still are.  I relate to your issues.  I appeciate your candor and honesty.

Sorry to hear things have been so rough for you and reverting back to old habits and eating becaused we're stressed is something we all can relte to. 
Don't be so tough on yourself Rita.  You're only human. 

Looking forward to talking with you all again.

Rita-your year was unimaginably tough.  I know you will get a handle on what you need to do.  It's a wonderful feeling to need to lose 24 pounds vs 240?  When I gain a bit, I'm amazed at how little I need to lose to get back to where I want to be-and I think to myself "this is what normal people must go through".

Isn't it great to be "normal"
