Taking Back Control

cbbj

I've been on MFP since mid-January '11 and have finally decided to come out of my shell. I read your stories daily and they motivate me to keep pushing forward and not to give up.

I've discovered so much about myself in the last six months, and not being ashamed of who I am, or who I want to be is where I am heading now. I no longer feel like I'm alone in my struggles. Whether it's 10 lbs or 100 lbs, we all want the same thing, fight the same battles, and are all striving for a better life.

I want to say hello. And thanks. Thanks for having the strength to open your life up to strangers like myself. It's inspired me to do the same.

Thanks, guys. The Golden Girls theme is now stuck in my head..."Thank you for being a friend..."
