Good friday morning friends

Sometimes, because I have not lost all of my weight I forget that I look different than I did 6 years ago LOL

One of the girls in my office was looking at a photo album we have here and saw a picture and questioned "who is that girl in the blue shirt"? I said, that was me, and she didn't believe me LOL

Anyway, I carry this pic around with me and was at the dentist office yesterday. I have been going to the same dental office since I was 13(I'm 52), and the girls who are there now have been there for years and know me well. I showed them the picture and one of the girls said ........................... wait for it ............................................

You are so tiny now

. Me? Tiny? I love her LOL

130 pounds really does make a difference.

Just wanted to let you all know the nice comments never end LOL

We get frustrated at times and may think we are not doing as well as we should(well that's me LOL), but it's all good.

Have a great day

Thanks Joyce that was a nice post.
I've been "struggling" to reach my goal of 165 while many on here are much less and I have to remind myself to be happy where I'm at.

Hi there

Yes it is not always easy. I find it tough sometimes because some people are having surgery and their starting weight is what I weigh now LOL. I don't begrudge anyone, I just feel bad sometimes that I didn't get to where I should be, but I'm not stopping. I just have to remind myself how far I have come

You're so right - and it is so helpful to keep reminding ourselves that the effort is totally worth it.

AND IT"S REALLY ALL ABOUT GOOD HEALTH, isn't it???
We're doing the right thing.
