Mean People Suck

ohhhh girl it looks like we both have about 40 lbs to go , isnt that awesome !!!!!!!  we can do it

Hey kiddo-you are doing great!!!!!!

I love your avatar picture!  What beach is that a picture of?

I am going to touch on what a few others have also said.  The biggest step towards doing any of these WLS is to look at yourself in the mirror with a straight and serious face and say, "I am doing this to save your life and/or make it a more enjoyable and productive one."  That was at least my biggest step.  I got to where I didnt care what others thought and blocked out the bad comments.   The funny thing is here i am a little over 2 months out, 80 pounds lighter, and most of the nay-sayers are calling me and/or my mom and dad to ask how I am doing.  In reference to what Cowboy said, karma does indeed spin around to get you if you are bad.  Don't rain on my parade, cause my karma might just run over your dogma.

Ooooh!  Dan!  I like that!  My karma might run over your dogma.  Can I use that and claim it as my own???

LOL-that's too funny.  But have you ever thought that maybe we used to be bossy, pushing, dogmatic people and that's why we are going through this now, to get a taste of our own medicine?
