Two Years and Counting

Thanks Lisa!

wtg Pam ............ and thanks for always offering tips/ideas/support to the board.

Almost anything and everything I have said on this board with info, stories, successing, etc is something I have LEARNED on this board already!

Thanks!

Pam

Thanks Papa Belk!  And of course to the rest of you!

Wow, what a great way to start a day!  Seeing so many beautiful words from so many beautiful people.

As I said at Barix this month, I find support to be crucial to successing, no matter WHAT form it comes in.  I am not at Barix very often, but when I do get there, I certainly treasure each and every moment.

During all those months I CAN'T get to Barix, I so much enjoy, and more importantly NEED, all of you in my personal life in any way I can - be it through OH,  texting, support group meetings at Liz's, and sometimes just a panicked phone call at ungodly hours of the day and night.

I have been truly blessed over the past two years.  Not everything has been a picture perfect world, but with my tool and my friends I have learned to begin to navigate otherwise calm waters with determination, focus, and more importantly, WITHOUT food.

There is still so much to learn, so much to experience.  And I can't wait to do it all.

This year inparticular has been nothing short than amazing.  I found the courage to leave my "comfort" job full time and move Brian and I to a place where we are better off.  Better off emotionally, financially, and more wealthy in friendships.  Today also marks my one year anniversary of leaving that job as a full time basis.  I'm fairly certain I was more scared of that then I was surgery the year before that.

I was able to take my new found self confidence and begin a new career at LVH.  And to this day I KNOW I could not have done this job with my extra weight.  It has been physically, emotionally, and intellectually challenging, and I have loved almost every minute of it.

Zip lining?!  OMG.  Never never never even CROSSED MY MIND to do such things.  And I had blast, and can't wait for another trip!  Yes, it was scary, and yes, there were times I said to myself "What the heck am I doing?"  But the answer to that question was always the same "I am SUCCESSING"

I am living life as I wanted to live it for so long.  I am active.  I exercise.  I eat right *most* of the time.  I read labels and really understand their meaning.

Thank you.  Everyone of you has played some part of amazing roll in my journey and I can truly say that my successing is built on so many of YOUR successing paths that you have paved for me.

I love you all!

YO TINY!   I was confused when I saw 2yr anniversary, seems you've been around longer than that....you've certainly made the most of your successing.   Always a pleasure to read your posts, they are always chock full of good info and opinion.   Much success, continued good health, a couple more new adventures, maybe a promotion or a little "project" started...skies the limit! 
Enjoy year 3!  

Congratulations Pam!

Awww, thanks Beth!!!  LOVE the pic of your feet in the sand!  Wish I was there right now, LOL, instead of this dark cloudy sky!

Congratulations Pam.  You are a true inspiration.  I love reading your input, advice, and words of wisdom.  Feel better soon.
