Congratulations, Sharon! <br /><br />Reading through your own weight loss story and the ups and downs of it all are a great reminder of the process it really is to become healthy and fit. Life has a way of throwing us all curve balls. What I see now is one strong lady who is able to keep up the good health habits despite what is thrown her way. Excellent accomplishment.

I know you encourage lots of folks by telling your story. People need to know that they're not alone in their struggles. I do hope your doctor has been able to help you find medication that works for your RA.

I've been thinking a lot about recapping my journey on my blog.

I have never had that problem --but all of us struggle from other types of problems and conditions. Mine was being sexually abused by my brother --and having my Mom not believe me. That took me YEARS to come to terms with... I did write my story, and have had over 6500 page views... Amazing, isn't it? Hope I can help someone else---like you are helping others by telling your story.<br /><br />I too have struggled with my weight all of my adult life... I've gained and lost and gained and lost a million times it seems. This time, God willing, I am NOT going to gain my weight back. I am keeping a food journal --and that helps me to be accountable to what I put in my mouth. According to a metabolism test, I should be able to eat at least 1500 calories per day without gaining. SO---that is what I'm trying to do..... Tain't easy though....<br /><br />Hang in there.... You're doing GREAT.<br /><br />Cold here this week... We've had a fire in the fireplace all week... LOVE it.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-56637825739953500962012-10-09T10:43:25.430-04:002012-10-09T10:43:25.430-04:00I am so happy for you for reaching your goal weigh...I am so happy for you for reaching your goal weight. I am going to start your regimen with the pedometer (put on first thing in the morning and take off last thing at night) because that is a huge failing of mine. I forget to put it on for the first couple of hours of the day and probably miss out on at least 500 steps. Then, I'll take it off to get my shower and forget to put it back on. And so it goes. Let's see how this works. :)Caronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971453836613391796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-17219878234912068002012-10-09T10:15:09.202-04:002012-10-09T10:15:09.202-04:00Nice snapshot of your journey! :) Yay for getting ...Nice snapshot of your journey! :) Yay for getting back there, I'm working on that myself!Kyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496930376646300796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-88180479877812892232012-10-09T09:46:53.018-04:002012-10-09T09:46:53.018-04:00I'm smiling:) And so happy for what the last ...I'm smiling:) And so happy for what the last year has brought you. <br /><br />You are an inspiration in so many ways.
