Wednesday, January 24
I have such insight into your journey, both from your shared truths and the fact that like Shel, prior to VSG I lost and regained 100+ pounds three times. Your blog made me aware that I may not truly see my SIL's facade for what it actually is...layers and layers and layers of protection from pain.

As one of the world's biggest optimists, I believe our struggles and labors in service of worthwhile goals and the like-minded companions we meet along the way are life's best rewards. The pain we encounter shows us where the lessons we hope to learn can be found.
