Oh Renee! ::Sniff:: What a great goal weight gift - my own post on FatFighters, pats on the back, and hugs!?! I hardly feel worthy, but I am learning to be better about that.

It is amazing to me how making the choice to be healthier affects so many other areas of your life. I would never have had the confidence to start a blog, face my wasband in court, accept praise, etc, etc prior to my metamorphosis.

FatFighters is exactly the right tie-in to all of it. Yeah, it is about weight loss, but ultimately this gathering is so much more. As we cheer one another on in our attempts to get fit, it is impossible not to begin to care - at least a little - about the people behind the beakers of fat.

Sorry to hijack your comments - but I am all philosophical today - and when I saw your special post just for me, I absolutely had to share how it made me feel.

Greatful. Loved. Honored. Supported. Blessed.

Thanks, Renee.
