The Long and Winding Road

Friends online are a special group.  You can always count on them to be there.  Doesn’t matter if you are having a bad hair day, or your clothes are ragged.  They just seem to love and accept you regardless.  I want to take this moment to say THANKS to my internet friends!!! Each of you are so special and make my world complete!!!

Around the 3rd week of April I began a new eating program.  I’ve had my ups and downs…gone astray a few times but always found myself back faithful and grounded.

Every 3/4 days my husband patiently does the measurements.  Its a long process, but watching the inches melt away is encouragement enough to keep on keepin on :)

So far I’ve lost 37 inches and 11 pounds.  My ticker doesn’t reflect the true loss.  I actually started out at 222 pounds and am now (again) at 211.  I’ve lost and gained the same weight since I’ve been here at BuddySlim.  I think this time I have the right balance…..proper nutrition and some exercise.

As I watch my buddys and others as they reach their goals…and some who struggle like myself, I only hope for happiness and healthiness for us all.  Its a long and winding road….a lifetime journey, and together, hand in hand, one step at a time we CAN achieve our goals.

We have many heros here to look up to!! Lets take their wise words of wisdom, lets take all the kindness and support and most of all lets take all the love from buddys here and share with everybody…..no matter what struggles they may be having today.

God Bless and love you all!!!

Faith works by love.

Love gives and forgives.

So faith can’t operate without love.
