January 8, 2009 - 175 lbs lost so far

Jan 07, 2009

 I guess that I keep coming back here for a few reasons....first of all....I know that this is where it all started for me.  I know that this website is the place that, not only gave me so much support for everything that I needed to figure out, but it also kept me coming back to talk to the people that I knew....even during the times that I lost faith in everything. 

But because I have been through all of that.  I do understand that many people lose faith, especially when the road is not easy, and they start seeking other avenues.  Been there, done that....but you see where I ended up back to.  The main reason for this is because I feel that I have a lot to offer for the stragglers out there that can't seem to find a place, that still have answers that they feel can't be answered, that feel the need to hear this all from someone who has already experienced it or feels that they need a reliable source or someone close at hand because they have a lot of questions.
HERE I AM!!
I know what the feeling of doubt is.....I know what being lost and not being able to find is.......
I know what being alone is and desperately trying to find the answers.  I have lost over 175# so far.  I would like to be able to make as many people who are in the same position that I was, be able to make this transition easily, non-dramatically, and with no fear or questions.  Although I do not check this web site as frequently as I would like, I do have an ongoing weight loss blog on http://www.myspace.com/babsisforever.  This is the spot that I go at least twice a day and I can quickly answer personal questions and much, much more.  I have a great many pics of the pounds that I have lost and I can answer all questions personally there. 

I have never strived to be a personality through weight-loss.  All I ever wanted to accomplish was to be healthier, live longer for my family, not humiliate my grandchildren and to learn, learn, learn.  Now that I have....I want to teach, teach, teach...to those who were or ARE just like me.  I may be only 60# away from losing my entire weight (I started over 400#), but I feel that we can all learn from each other.  Several OH members have found me through this onto my myspace.  I am there daily to help anyone because we ALL need each other in this struggle....no one is sacred and no one is safe.  We ALL need each other!!  Please join me and we can have a great time together!!
