    How sad that we, as a society, make people feel so ashamed of themselves. I am very happy for you! You are truly an inspiration!

    What a beautiful and heartbreaking story. People don't understand how harmful their comments can be, or at least I HOPE they are simply ignorant rather than brutally cruel.
    You are lovely at any weight, and I congratulate you on your amazing achievement. Stay strong.

    I don't read the "Success Stories" as much as I used to, but I'm glad I read this particular one. Well done. Your story elicited a strong sense of pathos.

    Congratulations on your weight loss. I can definitely relate to everything you said and remember being their as well. I can also relate to where you are now and how good it feels to be at this point. Keep it up.

    Wow, Thanks for sharing. I read your post and could totally relate to some of the things that you have gone through as an overweight person. You are truely and inspiration to me. I too feel that I need to take better care of myself due to health issues. I also want to feel more confident in my self, my health and not hide behind others when the cameras come out.

    Thanks for sharing your story. Especially the feelings that went with it. I am now 25lbs away from the "overweight" category and hoping to achieve it in the next few months. I know it's not going to happen overnight. Thanks again for the motivation to keep going. :flowerforyou:

    Congratulations! How wonderful!! What an accomplishment!! At my last Dr's Appointment I was down like 96 lbs. On his wall was a BMI scale. I was bummed to see I STILL FELL INTO morbidly obese range. But being as I started at SUPER morbidly obese I guess I should have been ... happy? I don't know?? My goal is to weigh about 150lbs. Because I am a short **** at 5'1" and will have lost 183 pounds at that point .. I will STILL be "overweight"... but anything's gotta be better than SUPER morbidly obese.
    At 150 pounds... I'll just be SUPER!!! : )~

    CONGRATULATIONS!

    Your words and your story are so inspiring. This part really will resonate with me as I travel along the path to a healthier lifestyle.

    "These past 400 days I have changed from the inside out. This transition is a celebration of my graduation into a new life, a new era. I’ve learned so many lessons about myself, how I want to live and my relationship with food. I see myself differently: as a healthy person, and act accordingly."

    Thank you, and I wish you much continued success!

    KAT, your post about your life as obese and your weight loss journey has touched me to the core. I had to stop reading several times and squeeze my eyes shut to keep from crying. I am so happy for your incredible success and for the permanent internal changes that you've made that have allowed your success. You are an amazing woman and such an inspiration.
