I saw the title of this video and instantly thought of Paul Harvey. The good thing about that radio show is that (usually) the stories end up having a phenomenally happy surprise ending. That's what I think is in store for you.

If you're anything like me, that past stumble weighs on your mind a lot now. Don't let it. You WILL be successful. By being brave, sharing your story, letting it out - you have already rid yourself of the only thing standing in your way. Hooray for you!!!

[crosspecans]

thanks. you are exactly right, i am looking for a phenomenally happy SURPRISE ending. that is deep!!! thanks waves~~~

[eparker0015]

Thank you for being brave and telling us your experience. I'd never heard of this ring thing before. You learn something new everyday. How's the trike working for you.

[crosspecans]

well ive tried twice so far and i cant get up on the tricycle. its too tall. i figure i will try it once a week until i can ride it. so far it makes a great lawn ornament. we still should race someday. waves~~~

Good for the Queenmom for double daring you to tell your story! It was a great story! Sorry you didn't have the support you needed especially from your MD and staff. I have felt that is a small part of the reason I always gained back my weight. My doctors would give me a couple of copied pieces if paper with a diet and exercise and send me on my way. I would come back 6 weeks later 50 # down, he would say great and a year later I would be up 75#. you are not alone here! Best of luck!

[crosspecans]

thanks for the best wishes. im very lucky to have all ya'll yt folks. surgery july 28th. waves~~~
