Where are you now?

Donna,

I'm glad to hear that you are getting the support you need from your siblings and I understand about deciding who to have close and who to keep at arms length. You need to do what is best for you right now. 

Wishing you all the best,

I feel energized!  When I work out, I have to wait on my muscles to catch up, not my heart rate or breathing!

Too many WOW moments to count... but best recent one is I can buy some clothes at Old Navy now!  I believe when we go "Goodwill Hunting" I will be able to find something to wear!

Concerns... I worry that my stalls will last forever... I know in my head they won't, but my heart isn's so sure.

Lady Steeler, you are doing wonderfully!!  Congratulations! 

Thanks... I find that my clothes being too big stresses me almost as much as when they were too small!  I am working on that...

I am doing wonderfully, because I am Wonderfully Made!!!!

Smooches!

I recently went out and took advantage of Belk's clearance sales and bought new blouses for a song!  I also broke down and ordered 5 pairs of dress slacks from JCPenny at 50% off.  that should take me to Christmas without looking like an orphan at school.  I should be able to wear them for a couple of months anyway.  If anyone says anything about me wearing the same clothes every week, I'm gonna tell them they can purchase clothes for me anytime - I will always accept gifts of clothes!

Lisa,

You are doing wonderfully. I wonder if I'll recognize you the next time I see you!

I know that the stalls are scary, but they will pass and you will keep moving forward. 

Wising you continued success!

You are very kind... My goddaughter (who is 4) saw a recent picture of me and asked her mommy... so, is Auntie Lisa like, a little girl now???  My friend told me that I looked 12 in the last picture, so if the baby thinks it too... it must be gospel!

Cheryl,

Your stats are so close to my own and it looks like you are moving ahead really well. I'll bet you'll end up in the Misses department in no time!

Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Barbara!  I hope I look half as good as you do!
