Every strugle you have to get over a craving or learn to deal with hunger and new eating habits is worth it when your friends and family congratulate you, when your husband can pick you up and carry you into the bedroom, when you look forward to having your picture taken, and when you fit into those cute clothes you see in the window. When you need help, come here and you'll surely find it.
I was just thinking this morning about how much my life has changed. I walked up the 7 flights of stairs to my office, and 6 months ago, that would have nearly killed me. Now it's no big deal. I feel like a whole new life has opened up for me, one that I always wanted and was envious of others, but I couldn't figure out how to get there on my own. Now, I'm almost there, and I couldn't be happier.
I just love what you said here. Even though I'm only a little more than half way to my goal, I am starting to feel the same way! Thank you for your inspiring example!!!
