Hi Goddess,

I too am sorry to hear about your recent struggles, and would like to say something profound and meaningful, but DW has pretty well covered all of the bases rather eloquently.

Like DW, I needed smelling salts after getting the courage to finally weigh myself at my heaviest. I was in denial that I was really that big. I would only look at myself in the mirror "straight on", and would avoid side views at all costs.

I too have had many struggles and disappointments as I'm sure everyone here has. As it has been said here many times; You just have to get back up, start again, and never give up. It takes courage to get back up after falling off the wagon, but we must do it if we are to succeed. You have only failed when you quit trying.

I would just like to add that you are among friends, and we are all here to support you.
