I use to go to your meetings but was not a regular but you always inspired me. I was so worried when you had your backslide but I never lost hope for you or me. We do not fight an easy fight. Our battle as you have told me is daily and fresh each day. But you always said and it stuck with me not to give up. Michael I pray for you and your family and many of us out here love and respect you and thank you for sharing.<BR/>a dear friendAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664614322133943133.post-75052201632601856192008-02-06T13:18:00.000-08:002008-02-06T13:18:00.000-08:00Dear ChrisI want to first tell you that you are no...Dear Chris<BR/>I want to first tell you that you are not alone. What you write and feel many of us feel it or have felt the same way at one point or another. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard the same pain expressed to me by so many. I myself at times have been where you are. The first thing I have to share with you is "lighten up"! Go easy on yourself; forgive yourself for all mistakes, attempts, trials etc. Today, right now is a new opportunity for you to take care of yourself. <BR/>Take the first small step, give yourself an emotional (if not physical also) HUG! Love that person who has been by your side for the past 41 years. Through the good times and bad times. You deserve the break!<BR/>Chris you can do it! The first step is about forgiveness and love... all for yourself!<BR/>Good luck I and so many are out there for you!<BR/>Love <BR/>MikeMike Hebrankohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974721680912289482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664614322133943133.post-57668605924489962242008-02-05T11:05:00.000-08:002008-02-05T11:05:00.000-08:00Dear MikeThank you for sharing your thoughts with ...Dear Mike<BR/>Thank you for sharing your thoughts with so many of us. You have been so open and so willing to speak over the years. There are many of us who draw strength from you and appreciate your willingness to give so much of you. I for one am a lonely eater. I struggle everyday and more often I do not do well. I cry insode of myself from the pain that I cause myself. My quality of life is almost none because of me eatinag myself to an early grave. I am 41 years old I live alone and for the most part am alone. I blame no one but myself. <BR/>I found your blog today and read it. I ate a good lunch. I am planning a good dinner.

You really have come a long way and you know about being a DOER and have proved it and work it every day. Great to hear about that exercise it is inspirational.<BR/>Hang on (but not on the phone too long) and leave that pretty hair alone.<BR/>Love <BR/>MIkeMike Hebrankohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974721680912289482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664614322133943133.post-27810255560996621172008-02-01T12:17:00.000-08:002008-02-01T12:17:00.000-08:00My sweet gypsy CarolI am glad to hear you are stil...My sweet gypsy Carol<BR/>I am glad to hear you are still in SC. By the way family does not always have to be blood related. My greatest family member doesn't have a drop of my blood. Often friends too make great family, as you well know.<BR/>I also believe you know more about politics that you like to admit, you are a very bright and tuned in person.<BR/>Greatest news (and I know it is that you are a DOER and you are doing the things you need to do to take care of you! <BR/>I love it!!!<BR/>Be well Carol and my love to you and your loved ones (family blood and not).<BR/>Love <BR/>MikeMike Hebrankohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974721680912289482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664614322133943133.post-32514917432543550792008-01-31T12:41:00.001-08:002008-01-31T12:41:00.001-08:00300 of my 550 pounds had to do with being on hold ...300 of my 550 pounds had to do with being on hold then getting disconnected lol! but i'm serious can u imagine that we would sabotage our health for these reasons. i have pulled out hair over trying to talk to aol and having them in a calm voice after 45 minutes just repeating the question in a calm manner. id rather keep a 1900 dollar computer that was a lemon from the day i got it then to have to call customer service. . i guess im just trying to tellyouthat you must not miss the birth of your next grandchild cause of your wait on hold!! glad to hear you took action. as for politics i would not miss for one moment hilary as president and bill as first man! now that will be something to watch! your friend staceyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664614322133943133.post-81397867902568257332008-01-31T12:41:00.000-08:002008-01-31T12:41:00.000-08:00Well ok I suck at politics wont even pretend to k...Well ok I suck at politics wont even pretend to know what is going and secondly I am never in a state long enough to even register to vote as i move so much lolol Dont worry Mike im still in Nc for the time being.....but I do understand being a doer and making changes in my life. Right now in my life I am surrounded by very positive people who I call family..No we are not blood related but have been together so many years we might as well be. We support each other on so many things and one of them is beating this battle of a disease they call obesity....Our eating habits have changed and our attitudes are alot healthy and if it takes me the rest of my life to take off this weight then so be it...at least I have the rest of my life to do it.....<BR/>Oh yeah there was a point to this blog it was making a change. People promise us many different changes but we need to first make that change in ourselves and learn how to do for us before we can look at others<BR/>And Michael for you a special Carol smile only cause you asked so nicely for one in the last blog...<BR/>huggs to all and smile to allAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
