Honestly losing my mind and over working myself. Partly because I love certain aspects of it, and partly because I have lost my mind since surgery and say yes to almost every task and duty.

And glad you found what I had to say inspirational. *blushing some more*

hi, Nice to hear from you again. I'm a little confused -did you say you are 214 in the picture with the purple t-shirt and jeans?

That purple knit t-shirt is a size large from Northern reflections and yes the day I took that photo I was 214lbs on October 16th.

I look just like that at 165! You must have muscle - I sure as heck don't have any!!!

I have a fair amount of muscle still... I always have had a lot of muscle. I giggle and just tell people I'm pretty dense!

My friends just chuckle.

I have had to get over having a hard time looking around knowing others weight and knowing they are the same size and 20-50 lbs lighter. I also share my point of view about being measurement focused because I find too many get sucked into what the scale says and in the end we need healthy not hurt over failing to meet a number on a digital readout.

Great post! And great to hear from you! Each of us, while we have a commonality, are on an individual path/goal. We have to live in our own bodies/shoes so up to us to determine what our goals should be.
