Inspiration

Sometimes I need to know that other people have gone through this battle and have come out successful on the other side.  I need to know that losing a significant amount of weight really can be done.

So I go searching on the internet for inspiration, and the internet does not fail. 

Here's an article about a woman who went from 350 pounds to become a personal trainer.

Here's 40-something stories!  I haven't read through all of them, but the one's I've seen are true inspiration.

And something from Ladies Home Journal.

And something from Weight Watchers.  Here's a story about a woman who lost more than 100 pounds!

Dorie,
A girl I went to high school with has lost over 116 pounds over the last year with diet and exercise alone! You can soooo do this and I have made a vow to try and eat better in 2010, so we can motivate and encourage each other! Family functions are the hardest cause we always have such yummy stuff. Power to you sister!!!! Stay strong!!!

I do the same thing, but my inspiration to even start this journey has come from you, and my friend Michelle, who lost just reached her 100 pound milestone at 11 months and 11 days. You can do it Dorian! This is exciting and I love reading your blog. I knew you were creative, anyone who's seen you with first graders knows that, but I didn't know you could write too! :)
