Onederland

It could not have come on a better day, March 20, 2007. Nineteen years ago today my father passed away from a massive heart attack, I was 18 years old and had lost my best friend and the only family I had, considering my mother wanted nothing to do with me, only my brother (this remains the same today). Therefore, I really wanted ONEDERLAND to come on this day to help this date not only signify the date of my fathers death, but to CELEBRATE the day that I got below 200 pounds, for the first time since early high school. When I woke up this morning I was 200.2 and I was very depressed, therefore I decided to wait and weigh again this evening, since I drank so much water last night. I weighed this evening I now weigh 199.6....................ONEDERLAND!!!!! Therefore, I had to share this, because now for the rest of my life March 20th will not just be the day my father died as it has for the past nineteen years, it will also be the day that I reached ONEDERLAND. I know that my father is smiling down from heaven above just as I am smiling as I am sharing this with each of you. I did not share this with you to make you sad, but to share a piece of me and to let you know just how much I wanted ONDERLAND to happen on this day and how excited I am that God has allowed me to meet this goal!!! Please join me as I Celebrate!!! Shelia

Congratulations Shelia!! Sounds like perfect timing! Keep up the good work.
