I personally think it is a godsend that you didnt get on the show....Why? I will tell you.

1) You have a huge group of friends here who will do anything and everything to help you succed.

2) You dont have to live in a "safe environment" only to be booted back into the real world where temptation is everywhere. If you can deal with it now; you can deal with it forever.

3) If you got kicked off the first week; you would still have to lose the majority of the weight on your own (same as us).

4) There is no drama here; just friends

A long time ago, I would have done anything to get to goal...have risky surgery, pills, starve....that doesnt work. You have to heal from the inside out. Eating is not your problem. Whatever is causing you to eat is. Even if you lost all your weight at the ranch; you would still have to come home to whatever you were running away from. You can do this. It wont be easy and there are no quick fixes here. But I know that somewhere in you (in all of us) is the strength needed to journey on and change our lives. By doing that, we will also change the lives of the people around us. If you need anything dont hesitate to ask. There is almost always somebody here to talk to. My email is always open.

1) Breathe
2) Envision the woman you see yourself as when all this is over
3) Take the necessary steps to BECOME that woman
4) BE THAT WOMAN!
