      Thanks Jo. You know I've been re-reading my journals and diary and I don't even know the woman who started this journey. She was filled with wishes and hopes, but didn't have a clue how to change things. The ADBB has helped me turn my life around and live instead of watching others live their lives. I love my life now and I know that this WOL has given me strength and courage to step outside my comfort zone and enjoy my family and friends.

      My attitude has improved 1,000% ~ my health, my relationships, my outlook on the future and I can say although things in my life aren't perfect...I can now deal with obstacles in a positive light instead of reaching for comfort food.

                          Congratulations on 4 years! I love seeing your progress in your siggy. I've started and stopped diets and exercise programs so many times that I keep telling myself that when I reach the 6 month mark following this WOE then I will know that this WOL is really part of my life and not just a passing fad. It's people like you that keep me motivated.

                          Thanks for sharing!
