"Where are they now" ... 4 year 8 month VSGer
VSG on 06/28/12
You are ONE AMAZING WOMAN! I love the honesty, the brutal acknowledgment of your lapse and I love the determination that you are giving to getting back to your goals.
Losing your Mom -- how much that must have hurt..........tears here thinking about that. I'm so sorry for you loss. Daddy has been gone 18 years now and I still miss him like it was yesterday that he left my life. Find a way to truly grieve -- it took me over 15 years to do it -- the hurting and missing are still there, but it's softer now, not so harsh. Be kind to yourself that way.
You are doing a superb job of getting yourself back on track. I wish you well. Gee, that doesn't begin to say it -- wishing you well isn't strong enough -- but I'm sure you know what I mean.
I'm only about a month out and am still in the euphoric state when trying to be "perfect" is easy. Yet I know that all it will take is one slip that I don't catch immediately, and I'll find myself starting the slide down to the dumpers. At my age, failure is not an option. Your post is already hanging on my wall in my little office -- a reminder that I will always need help to keep on plan.
Thank you so much for giving of yourself so generously.
