 You guys are gonna make ME cry!  But seriously, I have to agree.  Yvonne is such an inspiration and I feel blessed to have been welcomed into this wonderful group of people.  

Best of luck to Mrsfrogdr, Good to see that you are making progress.  It has been a long time coming.  I am not on  the site much, but I keep an eye out.  I will be looking for your posts.  I live in Wichita Falls, if you need somehing, give me a shout.  Take care and I will be looking for your updates.

When some one brings a dish of food to your home, it sould always be filled when you return it.  Yvonne's been dropping off platters of love and positive energy to so many...she should be recieving a pantry full in return....Huggs and....

Beautiful.  When I spoke in Dallas at the OH event I told the story of my mom always telling me that I had a choice on how I felt.  It was a very hard lesson for me when I was young because kids were so mean.  One day when I was coming home I had to stop at a really busy street and while I was waiting for the traffic to clear the two neighborhood bullies rolled up on their bikes and took turns spitting slobbery chocolate on me.  I nearly killed myself getting across that street.  I learned their ARE bullies and I learned to see if the coast was clear before I went all the way to the intersection.  If I had stayed in my room and cried, the bullies would have gotten what they wanted.  My ballet teacher teased me in front of the whole class and said "We need to go and eat at Yvonne's house because the food is obviously very good".  My mom told me that no matter what someone does....my feelings are the only thing I can control.  Her last words to me were to please try to learn to love myself.  I felt awful that the last time she saw me was at my very worst.  I was walking dead.  I miss her so much and thought I would never live through losing her to cancer in 2000.  There's a part of me that believes she helped from the other side when I was approved for the surgery because it really should have never happened.  I had a morbidity clause and horrible insurance.  It was truly a miracle on so many levels.  LIke I've said so many times...I lived in the mud and negativity of obesity for so long and I don't ever want to go back to that feeling.  I am a grateful woman for my health and friends and family.  Thank you sweetie.  That's a beautiful example of the attitude of gratitude.
hugs, Y
