Don't loose heart or give up!!
Those who are feeling blue for a miraid of reasons I just want you to know that I LOVE you and I CARE about you. I care that you may have stopped posting. I care that you feel all alone. I care that you aren't where you want to be. Well d*mnit...I just care and it has been placed on my heart that someone needs to read this post!
While you are feeling the way you are you are NOT alone. Many of us have felt are feeling the same way you are. Many of us are lurking the boards, wanting to post but just not sure the words will come out without the tears. The pain that feels like you are all alone and no one else can possibly understand is holding you back and I want you to set that pain and perhaps shame aside.
YOU have touched someone and been touched by someone as well.
We all come from different walks in life but we have ALL come here to OH with one great thing in common and it is in that we have ALL become an extended family.
For those who have fallen off the wagon, I pray that when you read this post you know that you are loved and missed and that whatever is keeping you from posting, be stopped.
We need YOU truly just as much as you NEED us!!
Everyday is a NEW day. A NEW chance to do something different to get you 1 step closer to who you are meant to be. I beg of you to NEVER give up or loose heart. Your dreams are within your reach waiting to become your reality!!

Well, said and thank you so very much for posting this thread.
You , my dear lady seem to have a true heart of gold. And, I am so glad you brought this up because there are a few of our "family" members here that are having a hard time, be it their weight lose or the finances or jobs or relationships or yes, even addiction (food, alcohol or tobacco) and they all need out support even if they haven't come right out and asked for it.Thank you for letting them know we are here to support them in these troubled time.
You are an inspiration and I thank you very much for being one!!

All I ask is that you pray for me and my family. I need things to be better in 2009.
My prayers and here for you and your family! May God watch over you and guide you and calm you. You know the hardest thing to do when facing struggles is to take care of YOU but it is the most important thing to do, because you can't function on empty. So just think about taking ONE thing and strive to work on that, maybe protein first, drinking water, moving just a little. May 2009 bring you peace and you are welcome =).

Ms Shell,
Your post was the first I read this morning. I feel like I've had a pep talk.
I appreciate your reminder that I'm really not alone.
