Open Letter to Obesity

You are sooo ready! :) welcome to a whole new world! Loved loved loved it! You'll have pictures to remind you of this time in your life and how far you have come but that is the only thing you'll have left.. I am thrilled to have been able to read this and share it with others that it will truly inspire! I hope to read more about/from you real soon.

I have no idea what you do for a living but writing would be a good idea  lol  This was beautiful, inspiring and sadly funny.

Well put.....

Wtg for kicking it and making friends yourself & later on with the little ones you helped bring into the world!!

Cheers to health!!

WOW you brought tears of empathy and understanding to my eyes, AWESOME!  Just what I needed, I was getting perhaps a little complacent now that I am "normal" and nearly at goal, I NEEDED to read this today, thank you!!!

And thanks to Jean M for posting a link on the lap-band forum. 

Juice with friends like those who needs enemies right?  We are all ready to rid our lives of these so called kinds of friends we've had in our lives for so long.  Nice writing you have great talent and I agree with the other guys, take it and run with it.  People from everywhere would love reading your words! Good luck on your journey we all welcome you with open arms. C'mon over and say hi on the banders bench sometime and let us know how you're doin, we'd love to hear from ya!

 Thank you !!!as I read your words ,it took me back in time .bless you on your journey my brother.Brenda in TX .

Thank you are you a writter by gosh you could be this was wonderful reading and so very true !!! You sure have a talent and must say I enjoyed so much reading this. It is so true for most of us we have to say goodbye to our best friend and bury it fore ever so it never can come back and be our friends again. I have lost 60pds so far it has been rough some days not having my best friend with me but love to say hello to my new friend Healthy eating which is much nicer.

I wish you good luck with your new life and enjoy every min. of it.Please let me know if and when you have more stories to write like this.

Thanks and Good luck, Lise
