This journey has been really long, and at times I've wanted nothing more than to quit. But I've come so far! I've lost 6 dress sizes and have gained so much... from self-confidence to new clothes to a new attitude towards food and eating. I am so thankful for this time, for getting healthier. I want to be here for my girls as they get older, and I know that I owe it to them to do this now.
I still have more weight to lose and this journey is not at a stopping point. But I am proud of how far I have come. And I know that through stalls, through the slow times, I will continue on... because I am not a quitter, and I want to see goal.
I want to see myself at a healthy weight. And I will get there, no matter how long it takes and how hard I have to work to get there.

WOW.....I'm saving this to my favorites. I read all the other comments and each one is a testament to your strength - how beautiful that your success means so much to so many. I wake up every day and say "I wish I could..." and this is a very important message to remember to say "I can." Thank you for reminding us what's important: our health, our children, our future, our dreams. Bless you, deb
