I usually try and wait until Monday and congradulate everyone on their weight loss/hard work... And you guys are doing amazing! I am so proud of you all! But I think this weekend has been really hard on everyone and i just want to take a moment to talk to yall... I know how rough it can be. I know how easy it can be to give up. But you want to know what else I know? I know each and everyone of you are stronger than that, never a quitter, and in fact a miracle. My goodness do you not relize how beautiful you are? From the inside to the outside your simply breath takingly gorgeous! To call you a hottie would be to fall far short of complimenting your true beauty, but you are a hottie! And you have come so far. Please, noone give up. If its a bad day, just make tomorrow a better day. Everyone stumbles a little! And even if its a major tumble, no worries! Just smile and go on and tackle that next day. God has made you to conquer mountains and slay giants beyond your belief and this is a mountain that will crumble before your awesomeness. I have faith in you. I cherish you! Your special beyond my simple words. Never, ever, ever give up. The victory is already yours. I shall be praying for you. I love you.
Blessings and Love :flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou:

    Thank you Ed. I have seriously needed the pep talk.
    For whatever reasons lately I have lost motivation and have been slipping. I was getting very close to just giving up and walking away from this all together.

    You are right though, I am stronger than I often give myself credit for. I just need to take things one day at a time and accept that the path I am on will be filled with peaks and valleys.

    Thank you again for the much needed encouragement.

    I really needed this today. I have been on the verge of giving up. But I choose not to.

    Thanks for the pep talk....I sure needed after a long stressful week last week (running 2 branches + my first TOM in about 6 months....husband's grandpa is on his deathbed..........and sister-in-law came in town and we just ate and ate and ATE)..........

    You're amazing! :blushing:
