Saying.... Thanks

[libertylady49 16]

Thanks for all the comments. It helps to know that I'm not alone. I'm 67 years young and 100 lbs overweight. I've gone from a chubby teen with a nice smile and great personality to a mother/grandmother who prided myself in being full figured and curvaceous. But the truth finally has me saying that I'm morbidly obese and will not live to see my grandchildren reach their dreams. So, I'm in the testing preop phase of my journey. Every day I focus on what I need to do, have patience, be humble enough to ask for help and listen to what works. My faith will be a strong force for me through this. I'm a pro at dieting...I now want to be a grateful woman who is blessed to have found what I need to live life. All that I've read by everyone has helped me. And maybe I can pass along to someone else the gift I have received.

I stopped coming here a few months back, deleted the app and just gave up on BP for a bit. The nastiness was just too much to take and not at all helpful. I'm glad Alex cleaned house and the vibe here already seems much more relaxed. You may find that slowly, but surely others come back too after a little hiatus.
