    Very happy to see you on here! After I wiped the tears away and thought about what you said it makes me realize that i can win! I will not give up this time! Life is precious and we only get 1 shot at it! Thanks for sharing. I don't have children but my Husband is the love of my life and the fact that my choices in the past have brought me to where I am now is awful. To think that I could very well be in your shoes and have to say goodbye to him makes me sick to my stomach! Thank you and I hope you realize how encouraging these words are to all of us!

    You brought tears to my eyes and passion to my heart. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and wisdom with us! I can't believe how lucky and fortunate we are to have so many wonderful people on MFP that are around to help motivates us when we start to fall.

    Wow I dont know what to say. You have made what Im doing on this site and everyday worth the while!!! Your story has touched me and hit home like you wouldnt believe. I too have two small boys that need me and I have a history of diabetes and heart disease in my family. I cannot fail them. You took the words right out of my mouth. I wish you the best of luck and I will request you be my friend and if you need someone to talk to or anything at all I will be there. Thanks for giving me the chance to fight harder than I ever had!!!!

    Your story has touched me to my very core. I lost my mom to heart attack and obesity in 2009. My only wish is that she could have had the same realization you had before it was too late. My realization came when she passed and I realized I was headed down the same path. I'm better now, I just wish I could have been there to help her. Thank you for your story.

    I can't even begin to fathom what you went through; however, I was in your children's shoes with both of my parents. They're no longer with me and I still grieve for them. I'm so glad your children don't have to experience that now and hope it's a long while before they do.
    Thank you for writing your story, as it really hit close to home. You already proved you're a survivor. You keep fighting and keep your faith!!

    I'll help you through this in anyway that I can. Please feel free to add me, as I'd be honored.

    God Bless you and your family!

    Amazing words. Nothing like a true and heartfelt kick in the nuts like that to make you re-evaluate everything that is precious and important.

    As a nurse I have worked with so many different people. I have nursed people with no hope, no drive, no ambition to be well... and it broke my heart. I have nursed small children with no idea of their impending immortality... The innocence at just "living" written clear across their faces. I have nursed people with terminal illness driven to squeeze every last drop out of their lives, determined not to go out quietly but to leave this world kicking and screaming and fighting for every moment.

    It is perhaps the most amazing place to be every day because it leave ME with no excuse but to suck it up and be the best that I can be. I'm so thrilled that you have found cause to do this. It matters not if it took a life changing moment, you're here, you "showed up."

    Now rock this show, because the stage is all yours.

    Greatest luck.
