  LETTER'S OF INSPIRATION FROM OBESITY HELP MEMBERS

These are letters I have received from Obesity Help Members. Telling me how I inspire them. But, in all reality, they inspire me. These thoughtful and caring letters show me that I do need to keep working towards my goal. How I never want to end up the way I was. So I am posting them to say THANK YOU. Thank you for inspiring me to be the person I am.

Emily Borgmann's Message:

I was just reading people's profiles and I came across yours...wanted to say how great you look. You must be so proud of yourself! I mean, you were beautiful before and you're obviously beautiful on the inside, but now you're really hot. Congratulations, girl! I'm just starting out with the process, but seeing people's stories like yours gives me a lot of hope. Thanks.

Erin you look amazing! Isn't it great to be able to wear sexy clothing and not feel self concience! My poor husband didn't know what it would be like if I loved to shop but he is learning because now I can go to the mall and find clothes. Keep up the good work girl.

Jenny Harper's Message:

Hey there! Girl, you are beyond my inspiration! I'm having surgery on July 5, and I can only pray for results like yours! You look so amazing and hot! I can't wait until 9 months from now to see if I look slightly as good as you! So, how do you feel being post op... I can't wait to be able to move and do normal activities again - like hiking, biking, dancing, running and even walking! Is your energy level on the roof since you've had your surgery? Well, keep up the good work, I'm just about to take off of work. You can check out my myspace if you want at www.myspace.com/jennyharper

Mrs. C. C.  Message:

Hello Erin,

My name is Catina, I'm from Houston,TX and let me start by saying, you are absolutely FAB-U-LOUS. I read your profile and I think it is one of the best I have read on OH. Congratulations on your amazing journey and your upcoming Wedding Day!!

I have not had weight loss surgery yet, I am still waiting to get approval from my insurance company. I started the whole process last December right after Christmas and what a ride it has been. I have gone thru so many emotions it is unreal. I get teary eyed reading other members profiles and seeing the incredible new life they are living since their "re-birthday" and I look forward to my own. Just reading your profile is an inspiration to me. Keep up the excellent posts. God Bless You and Brad
