thank you , as i read your story, i had so many of those problems and ques. that it was hard to talk to any one about, yours is such an inspiration. and it helps so much, and take away, alot of the worries, for me personally, to think that alot of us have the same questions and fears, to explore still, you really look so good and so young, at that, thank you again,i'm still malling your letter over...

Hi Magen,

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I think you are doing a wonderful job re-inventing your life and your words motivate me to take a closer look at my own. I can see myself so clearly in your story and over the last few months it has become very clear that I have so much emotional baggage to deal with along with the physical changes that my band is helping me make.

Your before and after pictures show a beautiful person finding a more peaceful happy self. Congratulations on your progress and here is to another year of more good fortune.

Keep up the great work!

great post - you are truly an inspiration. My lossses have come in spurts fueled but emotional upheavals in my life. They are slow but consistent. 1 lb per week I think working on a whole new you is difficult. I had my surgery 19 months ago have lost 74 lbs still have 50 lbs to go - during which i got divorrced lost both my mother and grandmother so much of me is lost and i feel myself struggling to try to regain me or rebuild a new me i really dont know which but the fact that i am not alone and that i am trying i think counts for something - thanks for sharing your story ! :wink2:

I loved this! Isn't it funny how sometimes we can completely forget that We are important too? You can so easily lose yourself trying to fix everyone's problems around you. Kudos to you for finding YOU and finding out how important You are!!

Well Done...:smile:
