Michele,
Hang in there, you will do great.... You are a beautiful person in an out.. The weeks before surgery I was so hard on myself I never left the house.. I felt like a huge nasty blob please take care of yourself.. You have such a wonderful family... You can do this.. You will be at goal before me and I am a year out=) I still have 20 pounds I am losing... Scott is gonna freak when he sees you.. This year is going to be about you.. Pamper yourself, buy special items just for you.. This year with billy gone has been tough but finally I feel like my old self.. I didn't know who I was before I would look in the mirror and about vomit then i was so depressed my attitude and disposition was horrible.. I am now feeling like i did before I gained 100 pounds.. I am emotionally stronger and feel my self esteem growing... Yours will too... God Bless YOu.. I will be thinking of you....
Angela
