Holy Shit! I Have Been Blogging Here for a Year!

Today is my one year Blogoversary. :D

In that time I have lost a pile of weight. I have learned so much about myself, my heart, mind and what I really want for myself. I have finally learned how to get my head in what I am doing so that I can keep on keeping on. I have learned that I don't have a run clock, anymore. And I can continue. I don't have to quit. I don't want to quit.

I have met a pile of wonderful people. Diverse, funny, sharp, caring, silly, endearing, inspiring people. People who have an endless capacity to support, uplift and encourage and I have learned that I have that, as well. I doubt I would have discovered that, had I not decided to start this blog.

So raise your glasses, everyone. I want to thank each and every one of you for becoming a member of my circle. For being my peeps, my posse, my friends. I wouldn't have come this far without all of you!

  5. You're amazing--a whole year of excellent writing and thinking. I've always loved your writing and the power of your descriptions. You don't hide behind bullshit, either. You're out there, honest and open. To do that for a year is impressive. Plus you've lost so much weight, it's incredible.

    Congratulations!

  7. Thanks for letting me follow your journey! I love to check your blog, especially when I'm extremely hungry, sad, grouchy and feeling like I'll be "new" to weight loss forever. I am only about a month into this and sometimes I just need to read your blog to remind me that I can hang in, I can do this! xxoxoxox GP

  13. Wow! That year has gone by so danged quickly, hasn't it? Happy one year anniversary, darlin'. I know my blogger friends have kept me going when I needed it most, haven't judged, criticized, nor condemned. And while I haven't met them in real life, I still think I have some wonderful friends out there. I know you do too. (Are you still blogging on LHC?)
