Well,I think the moral of the story for me was,it is important to lose the weight,but we have to stop and smell the roses along the way,or like she said,have a ice cream cone with the kids,take time out to LIVE and enjoy life too.And not beat ourselves up over it.Both can co-exist.We just keep going,that's all.If it takes 4 yrs.so be it.I don't want to stay on it to the point if my sister comes down and say's let's go have some pizza or what-ever,I say no I can't.No,I am going to have pizza or what ever and enjoy it with them.When she goes home,then I can get back on track and work hard and lose another few pounds.I been doing that,and it works for me.I don't mean go crazy and eat everything in sight while,we do have to use some common since.Anyway,I saw this and thought,like the gal that posted it said,it was just too good not to pass on.And it should encourage us to be happy with our selves,no matter what our weight is.I'm happy with what I have accomplished.But was happy at 250 too,just didn't like being that weight and it was very taxing on my joints,heart,and stamina.And just wasn't healthy.I admire missy for doing something.Cause she is right,she would of died with out it.She has what it takes to get it done and see it to the end.I'm sure and know she struggles too,and has slips like I do.But she will keep going and get it off.I couldn't even tie my shoes,bend over,and barely fit under the steering wheel,and didn't fit under hubby's jeep steering wheel,no way.Embarasing as all get out.Anyway,stop and smell the roses along the way,life is too short as it is.Hubby.or me could keel over at any time.I don't want any regrets.
