Not silly. Not corny. You're amazing. Much love to you.

You are a bad *kitten*, and the type of person everyone should aspire to be. You should be proud for posting this.

YOU are fabulous, and beautiful, and have a great heart, and are more wise than those girls could ever hope to be.


:flowerforyou:

Thank you. Thank you so much for sharing not your struggles...but your accomplishments!! I am glad you have found your strength and can now look beyond those shallow ones we meet in life who have NO CLUE what road we have walked. I have had Lupus and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome since I was 16. I also have a special needs child and a husband in the military who deploys. I learned early on sitting and whining will get you no where. Recently I learned this isn't a competition with others, but with your own personal best. You are perfect example of this.

Girl, I wish you nothing but the best of luck. You are beyond awesome!!

Thank you for your kind words TO ME its very appreciated but this is kind of what i was talking about when others say evil and hurtful things. It's not just comments about peoples weight that hurt its those things said that do to. My hope was for everyone to be more conscience about what they say to others because as much as it hurts when someone says something bad about them its the same for the other person. Please, everyone be friendly and encouraging to others.

Its the reason I re-edited my response and removed it and I do apologize for that, I just do not like seeing drama that shouldnt be taking over someone elses very inspiring and motivating thread. please do accept my apology.

I know it has been said a number of times on here already, but you truly are amazing - thank you for sharing xo

OP: you should be insanely proud of yourself. You've accomplished more already than those girls will in their entire lifetime. I love your fighting spirit and I wish nothing but great things for your future.

Wow, what an inspiration you are. Thank You for sharing your story and putting things in perspective for people like me who say "I can't" "I'm too tired to exercise" I'm not good enough" etc., etc., etc.
I hope you know how amazing you are .... you're a fighter and such an inspiration!

So well worded. You are a miracle right in our midst! What a way to show us what pansies we are. You are awesome with your attitude and what you have overcome and I applaud and admire you. Please post again, you have a talent writing, and we all want to know how you are doing from now on.

You are so right. Recently I had to let go of some relationships that were causing me pain, and live my life. Guess what, I have been so much happier.

What you overcame is truly amazing! I agree with some of the others, you are BADASS!!!

Oh h*** YEAH!

Those snotty little hs brats have nothing on you! I' bet when any adversity comes their way they cry to mommy and daddy and they get their little noses wiped for them.

You have to do it all, and overcome it all, and you do it! Every day!

Keep it going! Thanks for the inspiration!

you are amazing!

I have trouble complaining about anything when I know there are people like you in the world. I have so much admiration for people like you who have overcome adversity and triumphed. At my church there is a guy in his 30's who became a paraplegic due to a freak accident ( a dock collapsed, he fell in the water, hit his head and drowned). Once he went through rehab and got as much function as possible, he went back to college and got his degree. Now about 10 years out from his accident, he has a job as a computer geek for a major bank, lives on his own ( 2 hours of assistance a day--1 hr each in the am and pm), drives an adaptive van and leads a full life.

take peace in the fact that with all your *issues* you are still more woman than those little girls can ever hope to be!
