LOL. Weight is one of the very hardest addictions that women face. We look for comfort. I know for me I ate because I was unhappy and didn't know what to do with it. I was so FAR into denial that I almost killed myself. I will post my fat pic here for you. And Erin...you inspire me with your words and honesty. You were one of the first blogs I ever read and connected with. You still inspire! Look for my new blog of me before and after...too cool!Recovery Re-Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585407421360114530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967667322738830937.post-47198376072871472842008-08-20T12:32:00.000-04:002008-08-20T12:32:00.000-04:00That is so fantastic!

It has to be so good for your confidence.<BR/><BR/>At my most I was at size 20, but now I fight to maintain a 10. For me it was the diagnosis of type II diabetes that did it. Suddenly faced with the loss of vision or feet was VERY motivating. ;-)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067954787472463337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967667322738830937.post-82613042726006522082008-08-20T08:33:00.000-04:002008-08-20T08:33:00.000-04:00Hey Erin, I accepted your friend request on facebo...Hey Erin, I accepted your friend request on facebook. Thanks for searching me out. I'm new that that page and haven't really put a whole lot into it. I guess I better bet busy huh? <BR/><BR/>As for the 100 lbs. Well, I used to weigh 425+ in 2000. I got divorced and took charge of my life so to speak. Saw a dr and went on meds. Lost 150 lbs on my own but couldn't get below 250. So I had gastric bypass in 2004. All is well and I'd do again every year if I had to but I have been able to maintain my total weight loss of 235lbs...give or take. <BR/>I am very proud of me yes. So glad you keep stoppin in. Be well!

Your honesty is amazing and powerful.<BR/><BR/>But I can't get past your statement that you lost 100 pounds! How did you do that? You have to be so proud of yourself for that. From someone who is constantly struggling to fend off obesity, that's incredible!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067954787472463337noreply@blogger.com
