Thanks to everyone *****plied. I really needed to hear that, especially some of the things I never would have imagined. I need to get go of some of the painful things I went through and continue to build new, beautiful memories.

Thank you.

When I weighed 336 I:

Avoided getting my picture taken, include the one at the dr for my chart

Couldn't participate in activities that normal people did

Tired easliy and avoided things that I knew were going to be difficult

Was eating and drinking myself to an early grave

Hated shopping for clothes, ladders, chairs.......

I miss nothing mentioned above.

The only way personality has changed is I'm so happy I can't stand myself :)  Seriously, your confidence will increase and you will be happy.  Enjoy the experience.

Thank you, Dan for sharing that with me. O

o was very happy until now... Now I realize a part of me is passing and I am saying farewell. 

We became who we are together, and I can always draw upon the streghthn he had in these dark days.

This may sound silly, but you can always write letters to yourself, or just journal.  It always helped me when I started writing because as I went on, more things came out on paper than I knew were running around in my head and heart.  It can be surprising, but is very cleansing and healing, too.
