Carol, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful story of success. You are a true inspiration to all of us who are striving to achieve the same goal, freedom from being overweight.
I recently started a folder in my favorites titled 3FC inspiration threads that I can go to and read when I need a kick in the butt. Your story has been added.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I agree with the above poster: you write well enough for publication--shop it around and see what happens! You truly are an inspiration.
I'm grateful, too, to you for losing the weight. It shows me it is possible--it really can be done. I try not to think about how much weight there is to lose: I get all panicked. I try not to think it will take a year--I start to worry about the winter and what I'm going to do. But it's great to see you've kept at it...through all seasons.
Congratulations Carol! It's been wonderful watching your progress over the last year. Isn't it a huge feeling of accomplishment knowing that you took a situation that was so miserable and turned it around. I can so relate to all you wrote, avoiding life because of the weight. I got to the point where I had to face the fact that I was missing out on my life and my kids lives because of the weight. You are amazing!
Your post made me cry.
Your dedication gives me chills.
You are without a doubt one of the most dedication people that I know and you SO DESERVE this. I know that we will continue to be amazing and in awe of your sticktuitiveness because you CAN and you WILL and you ARE fighting and winning this fight.
What an awesome story! Thank you for sharing. I can relate to a lot of it, too. I am working on making my own success story, so thanks again for sharing yours and being the inspiration you are!
Thanks everyone!! Please believe me when I say that without the support and the constant inspiration I see and have witnessed on this site on daily basis I would not be where I am now.
I am sitting here in my cubicle at work crying, that is so not cool. You are totally, absolutely, completely, 10,000,000% awesome. One day I will be where you are.
This (and the other amazing successes on this board) has been such an inspiration to me! In the thick of it, with lots of new changes struggling to be cemented, it is sometimes hard to keep perspective. But I know soldiering on is worth it, and even losing SLOWLY I am still making such grand progress in the scheme of things.
WTG on celebrating your one-year anniversary, ChocLabLover! I am SO proud of everything you have accomplished, and can relate to so many of the things you touched upon in your very thoughtful post... You are an inspiration to us all.
girlie....here is to a lifetime of adventure & not sitting on the sidelines!
