haha... Darn it, she did it again

Ace, you go for it, Blog it... Let BD help you... And Anelim, thanks

WH certainly does have some success stories and Ace's well she was/is one little lady

Ace, I remember vividly speaking to that one on the phone, he went deathly quiet, I do believe that I fibbed and I do not wish for you to follow suit,

I do believe that I told him that my Cousin lived there, and was a Police Officer and I knew his name, where he lived blah blah blah... x Guess it worked huh ... See I don't actually have to be in your State lols.

Hey, time for the quote of the week - let's get this thread popped up ladies

"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all."

hahaha, ohh mum! Did you really do that?! I didnt know you told him that! lol

Maybe we should just make this thread a sticky....? I mean, I wouldnt mind lol

and thank you BD for the invite to pinterest. the site is addicting!

There is a whole song I used to listen to, over and over and over. I actually have the lyrics up on my blog. The song is called "Just wait" by Blues traveller

Im going to post them here as well. This song has seen me through it all

If ever you are feeling like you're tired
And all your uphill struggles leave you headed downhill
If you realize your wildest dreams can hurt you
And your appetite for pain has drinken it's fill

I ask of you a very simple question
Did you think for one minute that you were alone
And is your suffering a privilege you share only
Or did you think that everybody else feels completely at home

Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come

If you think I've given up on you you're crazy
And if you think I don't love you well then you're just wrong
In time you just might take to feeling better
Time is the beauty of the road being long

I know that now you feel no consolation
But maybe if I told you and informed you out loud
I say this without fear of hesitation
I can honestly tell you that you make me proud

Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come

If anything I might have said now has helped you
If anything I might have just said helped you just carry on
Your rise uphill may no longer seem a struggle
And you appetite for pain may all but be gone

I hope for you and cannot stop at hoping
Until that smile has once again returned to you face
There's no such thing as a failure who keeps trying
Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace

Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come

look up the song. you wont regret it

Holly smokes! So proud of you girlie! You are true inspiration!

**acerousme** · 02-16-2012 07:36 PM

Thanks Anelim!

Ive done it!! I have now lost a whopping 205 pounds!!! I feel so liberated!! Like I can conquer the world!! I went to a lingerie store today, and bought myself some new undies...only in a size "large"....It feels so amazing to feel this good about myself.

I want everybody to know that having weight issues is something you can conquer. No matter how big you are, or what you do. You just have to decide that it is what you want, and go for it!!! You wont regret it!! It hurts, I know. I still get sore from pushing myself. But thats what you have to do. Because it really wont kill you in the end. It will only make you stronger! And you will love yourself MORE for every single pound you lose. And EVERY POUND IS A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!!

I hope that somewhere out there, someone is reading this and has found the hope that they need to carry on, and keep going! Because even though these are just words on a screen, they have a lot of emotion, and feeling behind them. You're not alone in this journey. And if you fall, get back up and start over. Food is a harder addiction to break than smoking is. Because cigarettes dont taste as good...

Just know, that you can do this!

Brilliant Ace! What a truly massive accomplishment especially against the terrible odds you faced! Oh, you are just so amazing.

Its kinda funny you know, that although I don't want to lose any weight reading your story and following the struggles of others here, I find real inspiration for myself in a whole lot of other areas. It isn't just about weight loss it is about attitude to the whole of life. Nothing can defeat us except ourselves!
Hugs

Thanks snooks. I had everything against me in the beginning, but as soon as I decided to take charge, and change what I could, everything else fell into place.

My story isnt just about weight loss. Its about overcoming obstacles that look like mountains. I can only HOPE and pray that someone finds my story inspiring enough to rise to their full potential. Whether it is weight loss, or just taking control, and changing what you can.

I could write more, and more about myself, but I would have a novel by the time its all finished. lol
