You ...Racheal- thank you so much for your kindness. You always leave such great feedback. I am so glad that you see my blog as an accurate representation of what life is like before, during, and after weight loss. I try to talk openly and honestly and not hide away the bad parts for that reason- so other people don't feel so alone. Because when I was 286 and I hadn't even started blogging (or even for awhile there at the beginning) I felt oh so alone. It is was difficult. But I am lucky. I found others online that knew what it felt like to be that heavy, to be in that much pain, to experience fatigue just from walking a short bit. It helped me get to where I am now and all I want to do is help others. So they know they are not alone and that really anything is possible...with a little work, encouragement, and kindness :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15416582691283851891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310603097959518489.post-73396263520473187902013-09-20T20:51:40.354-05:002013-09-20T20:51:40.354-05:00Seriously Dacia, you already are that person. You ...Seriously Dacia, you already are that person. You are amazing & have unlimited energy training for a tri, working, going to school & being a great wife! I have grown so much just reading & interacting with you. I am really not a very outgoing person. Striking up a conversation in person is not easy for me but is getting easier.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05664017577407668960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310603097959518489.post-24597305721734188532013-09-20T20:51:03.922-05:002013-09-20T20:51:03.922-05:00I have to agree.

Some of the things you've gone through and shared are things that every person (women especially) have at least cross their mind through their own journey. I have grown so sick of seeing the "I lost 100 pounds and love my new body" because I've lost 50 pounds and hate my body now. I honestly felt like I was the only one until reading your blog. It made me realize I'm not the only one that feels that way. You have helped me find some confidence and the perserverance in myself when I've wanted to throw in the towel. And I know I'm not the only one that's getting these kinds of things, and more.<br /><br />Keep doing what you're doing with sharing your story the way you do. I think each person that reads your blog takes away what will help them in their own way. I think that the only thing more you could possibly do is become some sort of affordable personal trainer in your spare time to help those that know they need help but have a hard time finding or affording that help.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372404063342343255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310603097959518489.post-9294381147094269522013-09-20T14:36:53.053-05:002013-09-20T14:36:53.053-05:00You are too kind!

You are participating in social media, not just nabbing all the good vibes.<br /><br />For every person you get encouragement from I am betting at least two draw inspiration and motivation from you.<br /><br />Really, we should thank you. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
