Sara, is that the same bikini you tried on the other day but disliked the way you looked in it? You look freaking gorgeous wearing it and everything else.

@Sara:

You are such a survivor. (Yes!) Thanks for telling your story. I am so impressed with and inspired by all you've done.

And thanks for all the great advice you give and knowledge you share on MFP; I've learned a lot by reading your posts. (When Sara talks, I listen!)

I just saw this post, and while I knew part of your story, found this incredibly inspiring nonetheless. A picture is truly worth a thousand words. I think your before and afters are incredible indications of both of how far you have come as well as the confidence you have gained along the way. Rock on, woman!

Thank you so much for sharing your incredible and inspirating journey! Suffering my self from skeletal issues, you show that one does not need to be a couch potato, but can be pro active and take charge of their life.
Well done:flowerforyou:
