THE ASNWER IS SIMPLE!  IT IS WEIGHING.... ONE POUND LESS TODAY...THAN I WAS YESTERDAY!   IT MEANS.....I HAVEN'T GIVEN UP!   IT MEANS...THAT I CAN AND WILL ....DO THIS!   IT MEANS.......  THAT....NO MATTER HOW MANY PROBLEMS COME KNOCKING AT MY DOOR....I WILL OVERCOME THEM AND CONTINUE ON(IN DUE TIME) ! IT MEANS.....THAT IF I HAVE A SET BACK ..OR LET MY PROBLEMS INVADE MY SOUL ...FROM TIME TO TIME....I CAN STILL.... AT SOME POINT....PULL MYSELF BACK TOGETHER... NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF....BUT FOR MY FRIENDS  AND FAMILY TOO!  IT  MEANS.... THAT AS THE FOUNDER OF "WHY WEIGHT? LETS LOSE WEIGHT AND FEEL GREAT" GROUP......I CAN BE A POSITVE FORCE IN ALL OF MY FRIENDS WEIGHT LOSS EFFORTS ....AS WELL AS FOR MYSELF !   THAT I CAN PROVE TO BE ......EXACTLY AS I SAY I AM!   THAT  THERE IS NO...."

LEAVE ME ALONE!!!   I SOMETIMES LAUGH... I SOMETIMES CRY....AND... I SOMETIMES ......GET ANGRY AND LASH OUT ....AT THOSE I LOVE ( BUT...NOT W/O JUST CAUSE)!

I STRUGGLE WITH REAL LIFE ISSUES AND WATCHING MY WEIGHT TOO!  I FIGHT TO TRY TO QUIT SMOKING ( ALTHOUGH......... IT'S USUALLY........A LOSING BATTLE! LOL!) TOO!  SOME OF YOU...

    Very well put Cindy,this is why I have you as my good friend, as you call a spade a spade,you are open & honest,you dont go on with any bull shit, if you a having a good day or a bad day or even a hell of a bloody day, you say it as it is,no bars held, and that is what friendship should be all about, being there through the good the bad,the happy the sad,what ever motion one might be going through,good friends know when to listen and when to hold their tongue.Im still learning about me holding my tongue,woops,but like you said none of us is perfect,hay wait a moment, I am perfect,I take that bit back about no one is perfect,ONLY JOKING EVERYONE)that was a bit of humour thrown in.So there for Cindy you never have to change for anyone, if someone does not like you the way you are (ITS CALLED A DELEAT BUTTON)its their loss and your gain.I am going to change my dancing rose,this week,as Im almost danced out,dont know yet what it will be,but I wont be dancing,thats for sure.Ok my friend will catch up later.xxxx

    Cindy, I can relate to every single thing you have said--I needed this line you wrote: "Don't let my problems invade my soul"--powerful words my friend. I'm struggling right alongside of you with losing weight AND the smoking--omg, can't do both at once. Once thing that I found is that I do smoke less after exercising, so that is something I think will get me to gradually come off the nicotine, although I hate to admit it, I love smoking. ..ok, I know, not a popular or good thing to say, but there's nothing like that first long puff in the morning, lol. You are soooooo inspiring and I am so glad to know you my friend. I'm plugging along with you...I have many more pounds to go to reach my goal and you are so encouraging to keep going and not lose sight of my goal. Thank you!! Love, Robbin

    I totally agree with you. Our journals are our ways of venting and telling it like it is. If people don't like my journals, because I am sad sometimes, then just don't read it! I admire you as you are a straight shooter and I try to be one also.
    BTY...How do I find your new group???
