I had a million great comments but this is one I love for sure by slimmerchar.  " I congratulate me and smile at me every time I look in the mirror."  That is really an important statement my friends.  When you love yourself and I mean truly accept yourself, getting to your goal is easy and every pound gone is great motivation.  For it really doesn't matter what other people think, it matters what we think about ourselves for long term success.  Most of us have learned to be self critical and unkind to ourselves over the years for a feeling of not being able to control our weight.  Society puts too much pressure on an abnormal image of thin and we all feel measured by it. 

You are NOT and will NEVER be the sum of your weight.  You are a beautiful wonderful person with a family, friends and who can love themselves daily like Char said in that great message.  Look for satisfaction for you within yourself and you will always be a success.  Thanks Char for such a wonderful statement and for your loss of 32 pounds! 

Have a great holiday weekend.
