dorindam59's Journal, 21 October 2015

I'm in the midst of catching up on journals. I am totally inspired by the struggles some have gone through to get where they are today. Daybernt you have really come through a lot and stand proud. So many of you struggle with health issues that make your weight something on the side but contribute considerably to it. Some of you have family issues, and job issues, and other issues in life that put up roadblocks every step you take, yet you move forward and constantly improve your health and weight. I see it as very important to remember how far we have come. Even if you have only lost a couple of pounds, just know that is two more than before you started this journey! You were not losing then and were probably gaining! Like I said earlier I had jury duty Monday and Tuesday. One year ago I was getting ready for the second surgery of the year, and I could not walk 10 feet without resting. I parked a couple blocks from the courthouse and walked through downtown this year! Last year I ate nothing and gained weight. This year I eat good food and lose weight. I even walked up several flights of stairs several times in the last two days. A year ago I could not walk up the three stairs to my door! I have not yet arrived, by I am so thankful to God that I am not where I was a year ago! A year ago I really struggled doing my cakes for the fair, this year I not only was able to work on them but work overtime at work most days also! There are too many things to tell here but truly, whether you know it or not, I have come a looong looong way and it affects my confidence and my health. Thank you.
