Hi Everyone; 
    Sometimes we have just got to go into that dark corner to find out just where we are, where we have came from; and where we are going! I dropped off the boards for a while. I became discouraged and self critical. I have not lost in over 3 months; but neither have I gained either. So today is my birthday I consider this a gift I gave to myself about a year ago. Looking back I can see just how far I have came. Last year on my birthday I was just beginning to recover from my RNY; this year I  am 96 lbs lighter! I can dance with joy and appreciation for where I have came from! I am going to give myself another gift by renewing my commitment to getting back on track; and continuing to strive for the best of my health, my life; and my family. This past year has been a gift of renewal.. So never give up even if you have to sometimes look back to appreciate the present! I will make a big WISH to be even healthier but next years birthday! Hugs & friendship to all, Judy R  
 I still have a long way to go..
