Thanks Iluvchili

It's been a long hard road. The first thing you have to learn is to know your body no matter what anyone else says (including doctors and nutritionists!). The second is to love yourself and live life no matter what size you are. Those are not easy lessons to learn and sometimes take a lot of courage.

You also stumble and fall every once in a while and get discouraged along the way. Your post was just what I needed to hear as with SAD coming on I was starting to feel that this would never end.

You reminded me how far I've come and how long it took. The beginning of a long journey starts with but one step.

Thanks!
