    This literally had me laughing so hard, my boyfriend stopped playing video games for me to read it out loud to him. Wonderfully written and very inspiring. Great reminder to celebrate our victories, no matter how small we (or the rest of the world) think they are! Thank you!

    I feel really sorry...for all those people that saw all those words and no pictures and decided to checkout a different thread instead of reading this. Not only did you do an amazing job of overcoming your 317 but you related it to us in an fantastic and entertaining way! Awesome!

    Ditto! Well written and a truly entertaining post. This should be required reading for all MFP newbies, because I'm sure we've all struggled with that same situation. I know I have. With that mindset, you'll conquer whatever goal you set. And congratulations on the 20 pounds!

    Great story- great writer!
    Love how I can feel the pull to NOT do it.. We all know that feeling..
    I get so inspired when people DO IT - and you fought HARD to make it happen in spite of the demons- Way to go.
    Be proud, be strong! Well done!

    That was awesome! You are a talented writer - I felt like I was right there with you. Especially the part about the ice cream. You should post this on every forum post that starts with "I need someone to motivate me" or "I can't do this anymore". Every whining person should read that YOU have to make a change. One step at a time! Bravo!

    Totally awesome! My favorite quote I read on here was "Sweat is fat crying." I love it and remember that when I am on my bike sweating a river. Keep up the great attitude!

    You are awesome :) You will reach your goal in no time with that attitude. It's ok to eat something like that every once in a while, as long as you burn it off! You are an inspiration to me, and I'm sure to a bunch of other people here. You should be a writer, by the way! Loved your post!

    Wow... what an outpouring of love and appreciation. Thank you all! It is funny that some folks have said that I should be a writer. I am actually a board certified civil appellate attorney, so I do write for a living. However, in the next life, when I don't have four sons to support through college, I would love to write fiction and romantic porn. For now, I guess I'll stick to real stories about food porn on here. ;-)

    Huggs to all!!!

    Way to go! {Excellent writing btw} I totally get where you're coming from. Those harlot red numbers always put a damper on my day when they rear their ugly faces!
