Surpassing My Goals

well you are doing great, just remember you have always been gorgeous

Hey Trish! Good to see you. It's been a long time. How's it going sweetheart? Jane

Wooooohoooo Jane, you deserve to toot your own horn...toot away!! You have come along way and you look fabulous!!! I know you have been though some really tough times. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!! (((hugs))) Anna

Thank Anna, You will be there someday too. It's not an easy road to travel, you'll have bumps and detours along the way, but you will get there!

Jane - of all people YOU deserve to toot your own horn. You are an incredible inspiration to us all!! What a huge weight loss - you have lost more than I currently weigh - that is phenomenal!!! After your next PS you will probably just disappear and fade away lol!!! I am full of admiration that you have been able to pick up the pieces and concentrate on your son and your weight loss AND still give advice and help to others. It is true what they said here- you are indeed beautiful inside and out!! I am looking forward to seeing you again next weekend! Jackie

I don't want to dissapear (lol), I actually don't want to lose more weight. Weird huh? Been on this journey for so long that I have to tell myself that it's time to maintain. It's a hard concept to wrap your head around.

Jane, You go ahead and toot your own horn! You are looking good! I have read your profile and the posts here and you folks are so inspiring. Keep on sharing. Jen

Hi Jen, Thank you for your kind words. I see that you are a pre-op. I want you to know that if you need any help or have questions we are here for you. You lucky, in that our state board is very active. We are truly here for each other.

HI Jane ~~ CONGRATS! You are such a wonderful inspiration and success story. I know it's a terrible thing to watch your weight balloon up due to something that is not in your control. When I was in the hospital in Aug / Sept I was given 6 bags of platelets before and during my surgery----it caused a 90 lb weight gain from fluid! I was MORTIFIED and cried and cried. I was told by my doctors that it would come off in 3-4 weeks and I was blessed in that it did. I am now trying to break the 150 mark also and at the same time having a driving urges to eat more than I should. By posting on this message board I got several great ideas for snack (my downfall) and am now moving forward to my goal feeling confident that I CAN DO this. I come to the Va. Board when I feel my confidence dwindling, have a food question and also for great ideas that are shared on the Board. It is a great help to see that others out there are also struggling with the same issues that I am and have been victorious. What a gift you and all the others give to us all---the gift of HOPE and confidence that we will also make it past the challenges in this journey. Angel on your shoulder

Cindy, to me you are inspiring. You've come a long way and have faced some serious challenges. WE all know that we will probally still struggle with food issues for the rest of our lives. I'ma food addict and probally always will be, I've just learned to control that addiction. I've probally replaced it with underwear shopping! (lol). You are very much a victor in the fight against obesity and I look up to you and all you have accomplished. Big Hugs, Jane
