Dawn,

Congrats hon! I know that this past few years hasn't been an easy road for you...and much, nothing to do with weight loss. Sometimes, life in general has a way of screwing with us. I'm so glad that you are coming out on top and with a smile on your face! I can't wait to see you Saturday!!

Thanks Sherri,

I have had some bumps along the way! I just think of them and hope that they make me stronger! God has a plan, he only knows! I must believe in that!

I thank you, too from the bottom of my heart! You have been there for me for so many of my bumps and been such a great support here on this forum for not only me, BUT many others! You are appreciated! We love you! SOmetimes, I as well as many others, have a hard time expressing that, BUT I sincerely appreciate everything that you have done and hope that you know that I think of you often!

I hope that your journey can find a smoother course here soon, as well! It has been a tough year for you! I am continuing to pray that God leads some of your new medical staff in to the right direction and that some answers and resolution are in the near future!

Looking forward to seeing ya soon, too!

I have my up days (like today) which is kind of fun but I always worry about the crash. When that happens it happens hard and it takes a LOT out of me. Even when I'm up I'm down though, I don't know if that makes any sense but it's just kind of been crazy. Thankfully I'm down to less than 2 weeks before my appointment with the psychiatrist.

Something that has helped some is I took on a part time babysitting job. I love the kids (they're 5, 4 and 2). I feel good knowing that these kids love me and their mom loves me as much as they do. She was telling my mom she really wishes she could afford to pay me more (I'm only charging 45 a week for 3-4 6-7 hour days but its mostly just the 2 little ones) because of how the kids are. I'm the first babysitter in the past year (and they've had a LOT of them like 8 or 9) where they've not had to be peeled off their mom when dropped off. Half the time they wave her gone.
