Tulipgirl - Great point - stay on the path to my goal.  

Gilliansings - You are right on point. Even when we lose momentum we still have not lost what we have worked so hard to gain.  

Thanks...a long ways to go.. and it is hard work! :-D but worth it!! 

Buffy, you are so right using your start as motivation. I know it works, I keep my cane hanging on my shower rod so I see it everyday. I used to use it daily, haven't touched it since January, except to dust it. Its my reminder to stay the course. Patience wearing thin so timing is good; re: my "friend" /rider to work: always late, spread lies about me using diet shakes, kept things I loaned her for over a year and had trouble getting them back including a favorite sewing machine, chain saw, and my pressure canner, still missing my preserving book with all the custom notes. She doesn't approve of me much, her claim to fame is that she's The Pastor's Wife (attitude is she's better than others because of that).... she gets really annoyed if I stop and buy beer or wine on the way home, she's worried someone might see her in the liquor store parking lot! I just grin and ignore it. I worry about her though as she's around 400# with lots of health issues (vasculitis is the major one) and she just keeps getting bigger, even though she says she is on some diet but won't tell anyone what it is. She does have lots of good things about her so I try hard to focus on those. Will be interesting to see if she gets to work on time....  

Wholefoodnut - Maybe you will see more of her good side if you keep her at a distance. 

I'm hoping as I try my best to see the good points in people and go from there. I've always been that way. Best to be able to be free.  

"Best to be able to be free". Like so much!!! Thank you.  

Great positive thoughts, Buffy. FANTASTIC!
