hi billie,

we sound like kindred spirits in the weight dept.
i'm 5'2" and weigh 200. i got down to 183 from 223 and gained some back.
now i'm battling again. my weight has been a problem from when i was 9, that's been 50 yrs.

but i'm not quitting. i at least want to get back to my 40 lb loss.

i really know how hard it is. i commend you on the counseling. mine has helped me so much.
and having my board buds with their constant support even thru my protracted hard times; it's been a life line.

and a size 14? you're my new hero. especially since cindy is fighting her muffin top.

don't give up billie. you CAN succeed. you ARE succeeding.
you don't know me but i'm a hugger and there's lots more where that one came from.

Hi Judy,
Thanks so much for your encouragment. I am trying hard, and it helps to know people are there to cheer us on. Yes, my friend we can make it. I too, am a hugger. May God bless you is my prayer. We do like to do some of the same things, like playing the work game. For awhile, I just didn't have anything to say, cause I was hurting so bad.

I don't know when my weight battle started, for I haven't always been heavy. I have always had battles to fight, some really hard ones. Losing a loved one, was a biggie, then I lost a dear friend that meant the world to me. If I could only get her trust back. I have said things, that I can't take back is my biggest problem.

Lets all take a deep breath and try even harder. We can do this and you have encouraged me. Thanks.

you already have her trust billie. once the ones we love are in heaven all is forgiven and they are angels on our shoulders.

your words were too kind.
thank you.

Hi Judy, She is not in heaven or even dead. I hurt a friend. The loved one I mentioned was my husband. I lost him 2 years ago this July. Its okay, I understand the mix- up. I hope you are having a good day!
Billie

Big hugs to you Billie. I am praying that this gets worked out...Sue

OK Billie, give yourself a {{{{{{{{{{BIG HUG}}}}}}}}}}.

You are a nice, very special person, and you need lots of hugs right now. So get up every morning and look in the mirrow and tell yourself just what a GREAT PERSON you are!

This message has been sent to you from a very squashed froggie. I may be squashed frog(caused by pain), but I still got some hop left in me! LOL

Hi Billie~ Just wanted to chime in to let you know that I follow your posts and am inspired at your determination. You are a sweet and kind lady, and did I mention that Lady is spelled w/a Capital L???

take care of yourself.
