I applaud all of my fellow WLSers within this post. You have all gotten so far. As I mentioned before, my journey will not be as far compared to yours, but I so overwhelmed by your courage and wonderful outlook. Don't ever forget your goals.
Just this week I was able to wear my smallest size jeans in the closet -- size 16. How wonderful I felt. You would have thought I was some supermodel. I'm continuing to feel spectacular in every way possible.
I hosted Thanksgiving Dinner this year with a houseful of people. Once all of our plates were full, I just took a deep breath and looked around at everyone enjoying their food and each other. I ate my dinner slowly and with real purpose, but mostly just enjoyed the chatter and excitement in my home so much more.
This time of year is very tough with temptations of food everywhere. But, remember, it's the people close to you that matter the most. Their smiles, giggles, and doggie licks can make you feel more fulfilled than any gingerbread cookie.
Good luck to all...Keep up the GREAT work! And, continue to share your stories and thoughts.

XOXO to all!
