Hi Mel,
I'm a new addition to the FOH family and have spent a few days writing in my journal and a few others. But one journal stood out, and that was yours (over 1000 entries! - read 3/4 of them).
I am totally impressed with your transformation.....and determination.....you are inspiring me and helping me to see that it is possible to do this.
At first, I wasn't going to write in here, cause you have many loyal people barracking for you and I almost feel like an "imposter", but I HAD to write and just tell you that what you are doing is amazing and gives hope to many people who are too slack (that's me) to do something with their lives (in this area).
I have very low self-respect after a number of years of being abused (someone calling you a Fat, Lazy, B...... for years seems to have an effect on how you think about yourself). I mentioned in my own journal that I blame others (well, one person) for my problem of comfort eating, but am trying to be more positive and take responsibility for my choices.....so any help in this area is welcomed....especially reading your journal.
Thanks again Mel, you're truly an inspiration to us all.
