    Hi I read your story last year and Im so happy you are doing well. I have to say that everything you have written is the TRUTH. Reading honest comments helps one to put the mindset into perspective. i have been at this for a year and a half and I can honestly say I agree on the point of not doing something that you cannot sustain, I haven't reached my goal weight yet but I am already trying to reach the goal of balance in my life. I don't want to be an obsessive eater fretting over micro-nutrients or the numbers on the scale, I don't want to be a gym rat pumping iron at all hours of the day and night, I want to be healthy on my terms, balanced happy and well fed. that being said. Thanks for your encouraging story, it is like reading a letter from a friend. Stay healthy and see you next year.

    This was just so utterly exactly what I needed to read right now. I tend to discount my overall weight loss because I don't remember the woman I was at my heaviest. I've uncovered SO MANY health problems with the healthier and lighter I've gotten, and it has been so discouraging. Four new medicines I think after 75 pounds and years later....

    Reading your story about your DVT diagnosis was chilling. I feel so, well, something I can't put into words. I shared this out to my friends list, too, and I hope that if even one sentence helps even one person, I have done a good deed for the day. I think that I will have to go back and read all of your blogs and use them as a jumping point for my own introspection to get out there and get to making habits again.

    Thank you for baring your soul to us here...so many of us just needed that nudge today.

    Amazing post, and exactly what I needed to read. After losing 120 pounds and having gained 20 of them back, I needed a post like this to put things in perspective as I try to regain control. Thank you so, so much.
