    You are NOT a failure, but a true inspiration and a great writer. Your post nearly brought me to tears - I can relate to it that much. A heart-felt congrats on your success and here's to more where that came from. Hope you don't mind that I sent you a friend request. I'd love to have someone like you as a friend on my own weight loss journey. All the best!

    I absolutely love your outlook! I've said a thousand times to myself...It's not about taking it one day at a time, but rather one second at a time. Sometimes thinking about being "good" one day is overwhelming, but instead thinking that I only have to make a good choice for this second allows me to avoid a panic attack! Also, in the past I would slip up one time in the day and decide to make the entire day a cheat day...but instead of looking at my decisions as a "day" win or lose, I choose to look at my decisions by the second. Just as we were graded in school on a percent, at the end of the day if I have made good decisions 70 percent of the day...I have passed!

    Awesome post! You are a success since everytime you "fail" you get up and keep going. I want to be like you!

    very interesting post and I enjoyed it. You are an eloquent writer. Also- if we don't fail how do we ever know we succeed? Thanks for being honest and putting the truth out there!

    First...congratulations! your progress is amazing!

    Second, I agree with whoever said this should be a blog--I think so many of us need to hear that it's ok to NOT be perfect.

    Third...thank you for sharing this. I really needed to read it today.
