    "I've said this before, and I'll say it again: I was a beautiful, smart woman then too, with accomplishments and talents. I'm not defined by my body, and I was in no way less deserving or less wonderful than I am now. And you readers out there feeling like you're worthless because of your weight? Stop, right now. Wanting change does not mean you have to hate what or who you are presently. All self-hate will do is get in the way."

    I absolutely agree with you - thanks for sharing this. It took me a long time to learn this lesson but once I did there was no end to what I felt I could do!

    I have stumbled upon your profile and successes before. You are absolutely amazing me. You represent everything this website is about. Happy, Healthy lives. Doing it for you. Doing it for the rest of your life.

    I love your lines about "cheat days" and self hate. They are so incredibly on point. I completely agree with you. Congratulations on hitting one of your many goals. You look amazing, healthy, happy, and vibrant.

    What an incredible inspiration you are to soooo many of us. This is one page I bookmarked so that I can come back to it and re-read what you've send should I get to a point where extra encouragement is needed. You look amazing - what a wonderful gift you have given not only to yourself, but to that beautiful little boy you are carrying around. I just started out with my "journey" but as I'm sure is true for many many of us, this is not my first go around. I have dealt with weight issues almost my whole life - you've made me believe that it doesn't have to be this way. Thank you for sharing your story.
