I lurked through a few of your posts, and I am so enjoying getting to know you! As for this post, I loved your picture and thought to myself, that's what I should have done! We all have things that are not quite what we wish, and now you have decided to do something about it. That's the hardest part! We are all cheering you on!

It sounds like you're on the cusp of big changes and that's a scary, yet exciting place to be.

And just so you know, I have been down a weight loss journey of my own -- in fact I am still on that journey and I expect that I always will be. I blogged about it about a week and a half ago. Good luck and thanks for sharing!!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601770290011445177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31104887.post-28588768980176708862007-03-09T11:28:00.000-06:002007-03-09T11:28:00.000-06:00oh stephanie...i just want to give you a hug! i ho...oh stephanie...i just want to give you a hug! i hope you make your goals happen, whatever they may be. i hope you will not be afraid of success. you can do it, but you already know that, don't you? :)<BR/><BR/>i love your blurry pic. the tie to your life is amazing. i love that you took the challenge and posted the pic, even if it wasnt for the challenge to start with.carlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116230992853320714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31104887.post-80058075539479465762007-03-09T00:21:00.000-06:002007-03-09T00:21:00.000-06:00I have been meaning to e mail you.. your good mail...I have been meaning to e mail you.. your good mail just made my week. It was my very first one!! I kept the card you sent with it so safe that I couldn't find it when the time came to send a thank you/link. When I saw that Kristi linked you I was SO THANKFUL!!! Good timing too. <BR/><BR/>I love the concept of good mail and I love that you have stuff that makes it so easy. I just wanted you to know that I really, really appreciate it. I have a pretty good life, but we all have times that are harder than others. I was having a particularly hard week with my son's first family and was feeling very frustrated and decidedly UN Christlike. Getting your sweet package was like a huge wake up call. We all want to be appreciated and cherished. I have since been trying much harder to be tender even when I don't want to be. Thank you.....<BR/><BR/>P.S. I grew up in Oak Ridge, TN but it has been years since I have been back. It sounds like SUCH a wonderful neighborhood....Bekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421106490759593190noreply@blogger.com
