Alright, I cruise around these boards WAY more then is healthy and in recent days it seems that we've just been overwhelmed with heavy issues, depressions, frustrations, struggles, trials, etc....(I am personally blaming it on the weather....it's always the weathers fault!)

We are AWESOME people! Guys and gals, all of us are amazing....and let me tell you why!
We are amazing because we have looked in the mirror and said, "ENOUGH!" For whatever reason, we've had enough! It's not just weight loss I am talkin here either! It's the facing bad habits, bad relationships (within us and in our lives), our views on food and weight loss, how society views us and the standard of beauty, what we will accept and what we won't.....etc!

There are some wonderfully strong people on these boards, people who have seen something that needs to change and have had the "umph" to actually do something about it! Not just sit back and be like, "Tomorrow I'll get to it...." No, you are all here, doing it NOW, struggling, fighting for every pound, lifting up others, advising, and supporting.... You are amazing!

I just want you guys to know that you are all fabulous! Even if we don't agree... you guys are all amazing because you are doing something to make your life better and the lives of others better too.

Don't get discouraged! We are freakin fabulous!!!!

    CB! Get out of my head! :laugh:

    I was thinking exactly the same thing today. Just how wonderful are we? A group of strong, modivated people who are changing their lives! It never ceases to give me a little thrill when I look at the 'success' posts and you can see people changing right before your eyes FOREVER.

    Its a great feeling, MFP. WE ROCK!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    I so grasp the negatives (Hello, I am a pessimist!)...

    However, sometimes we get sooooo bogged down in whats wrong....we can't see what is right.
    Life isn't ponies, rainbows and butterflies....BUT.... there's some good stuff....and we accomplishing our goals are part of the "good stuff."

    CB: thank you for this post. I admire us when we all can think positive. Its nice to feel positive about your own self, once in a while but when we are here together as one, we are truly inspired by everyone and everything we share and discuss amongst ourselves. We are not perfect but we are trying. One day at a time and one pound at a time. Thank you for this awesome thread/post. We need many more of these. Keep them coming! Thanks again for making me feel good today.

    Great post.

    Some days are just so hard and I often think about going back to my old ways. Then I think about how far I've come and realize that these feelings are natural and will continue to come and go.

    Thanks for lifting my spirits :)

    Oops! D-U-H!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm such a dork. I had The Bachelor's Jillian on the brain because she got axed this week, and then was on Ellen...I was bummed, because she's FREAKIN FABULOUS too! :laugh:



    So here's a question for everyone....what Freakin' Fabulous thing do you plan to do next week to make you even more freakishly fabulous than ever??? My goal is to do The Shred Level 3, because I can almost catch my breath now during Level 2. :laugh:

    Nice post!

    Life likes to be messy
    (someone told me this yesterday and I SO agree!)

    If we wait for the perfect time, it will never happen! Just when you think you have it all together, something comes to shatter the myth.

    The key, I think, is just as Chubby Bunny said, to see what we are doing RIGHT.

    I may not agree with everyones theory or way of expressing themselves each day, but I love each and every one of you for taking the time to encourage and educate each other.

    There have been many times (recently) where y'all have held my arms up so I could go on.

    We ARE freakin fabulous!!

    I am so glad that everyone is enjoying this!
    Some days I just worry about us as a whole....
    I mean, even browsing through some recent threads....
    Everyone here is fabulous.... no matter how they are approaching this journey (hopefully healthy though).
    Because the ARE on the journey.

    This is a quote that is so true sometimes....
    "It seems to me that people have vast potential. Most people can do extraordinary things if they have the confidence or take the risks. Yet most people don't. They sit in front of the telly and treat life as if it goes on forever." -Philip Adams
