It has come to my attention that people are signing up, posting, and running off to places unknown. This is even happening with frequent posters. I realize that all of you have lives; but please check in every so often so I dont worry. Once you have decided to share your lives with us; we become "family." I have become very attatched to everyone here and when you dont show up; I worry. So I am adopting a new rule...If I dont see or hear from you every few days; rest assured. I will track you down via email. I want everyone here to experience and/or know the following things:
1) Success
2) To know what it feels like to have people (like you) who care about you
3) To log off feeling better than when you logged in
4) To have a boosted inner self esteem level & more positive body image
5) A journal where they can see how they began & how they have evolved since that day
6) To know that people can conquer the battle of the bulge without taking drastic measures
7) A 100% non judgemental environment does exist for people of size
8) To know that small changes do really make a difference
9) It's ok to admit that you had an "off day."
10) Every day is a new chance to start over, or build on the previous days successes.
I am not going to let anyone fall (or throw themselves) under the diet bus. I have done it many a time and I am through. Failure and worthlessness end here and now. It is now your time to show the world (and more importantly) yourselves what you are made of. So all that said; check in and let us know how you are doing. Even if it is only 3 words long. If not; expect an email from me! I will be relentless and morph into Jillian if I dont see you....Regular postings; albeit positive or negative, increase your chances for longterm diet and lifestyle changes.
