Kathi, I'm thrilled and excited to come here this morning and read your post! I know how long a road this has been for you and I can't recall you ever getting discouraged and complaining, you just patiently did the next thing necessary and with those skills, you are sure to be a wonderful "Loser"! I remember how excited and unable I was to sleep the day I got my date, so I know how you must be feeling right now, we all do. . . Can't wait to give you a great big official welcome to the "Loser's Bench". . . sit here, sit by me, perhaps some of your patience can rub off on this native New Yorker. . . Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Thanks so much, Laureen!

I honestly don't know where the patience comes from except my mother. She always said you have to patient when you aren't in control. I definitely wasn't in control of this situation, that's for sure!

I've said it before, but you are truly a great inspiration for me as I start my journey! You have discipline and I don't trust that I have that. I'll trade you a little patience for a little of your discipline!

We'll exchange that when I get to the bench! Thanks for sharing in my joy.

Hugs,

Kathi

Thanks so much Judy! From your "lips" to God's ears that the time flies fast now...... I'm sure it will as I'll be so busy getting everything in order before I go. Work, hubby, home, and the final practicing to "Sip, walk, and small bites"........... Hugs, Kathi
