Talking The battle reaches Midway! And not the island!
First, I put as my avatar a drawing I did of myself a few years back standing with my heart in hand...taking back my life.

I never thought I would ever weigh this little again but as I have posted before, I have been waiting for a mini goal...to see the numbers in my signature reach midway between weight lost and weight I have to lose...today I did that! 76 lost and 75 to lose! This seemingly small victory is just as important to me in the battle to get my life back as The Battle of Midway was to WWII's Pacific struggle.

Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration



Thanks for letting me share,

Angela

Thank you everyone!

Jen: The avatar started as a pencil drawing then I took a digital pic of it with a sep. filter and put it in a photo program to add the very lit heart effect...it's harder to get that brightly lit effect with pencil on plain white paper...it hold so much meaning for me!
