Hi, Sandi! \:\) I just finished reading through your original thread and ctaching up with you here. I am trully inspired and awed by how far you've come. It takes amaxing strength to make the journey you've made, and you are such a pillar for the rest of us.

You mentioned in an ealier post that you felt that you may have lost your spiritual gift after the EA - well let me just say that I don't think that's the case at all. It may have changed, or a new gift may have emerged, but one has to only glance at your threads to see what an impact you've had on so many lives here. I believe encouragement is a spiritual gift, and can totally see that in you. To be honest, when you came and posted on my thread, my heart actually felt lighter.

You are such a help to all of us, and I know that I am so thankful that you came by to talk to me. *hugs*

I'm so glad that your Christmas went well, and I'm rooting for you as far as the diet goes. I know you'll do a great job, and as annoying as it will be in the beginning, you'll feel so much better in the long run. I need to start doing the same myself. I'm pretty young and yet I'm overweight and probably lazier than most people three times my age. If I wasn't a chain smoker, I'd hate to think how much more I'd weigh....

I hope you and your H start feeling better and that you see nothing but improvements in your health. I will remember you both in my prayers. \:\)

Thanks so much for your support again, and God bless,
~Nas
