I don't know what to say, well right now I can't say anything because of the tears but once I stop crying I will come up with something. You are an amazing woman!! AMAZING. You just experienced that once in a lifetime feeling that some people NEVER have the pure joy of experiencing and you chose to share it with us. I feel honored and so darn excited for you I want to jump over to your house and give you a big hug!!!!! I'm humbled that sharing my pictures would affect you or anyone, and I'm so glad I've done it. Rejoice in your victory, soak it in, stick your tongue out at those nasty girls from 18 yrs ago and tell them "I told you so" or something really childish :) :)Congrats on your success of weighing the same as your hubby. I remember that day

too. I LOVED IT. We used to go to a water park where they said the heaviest person has to sit in back. I would just cringe as I climbed back there, head down.What an amazing statement that you feel worthy of being for the first time! You are worthy and you keep going girl!! Your an amazing women with much to celebrate!!! Cyrena Weeks hi everyone! new victory!

first i want to say i saw pictures of cyrena and they inspired me to

post because i usually only read.

i always thought i would be okay with just being 230. chubby, still

somewhat normal size. that was my GOAL, to be not overly fat to where

life was a burden. but cyrena, you have showed me i can indeed reach

even a more intense goal. its funny how pictures and events all

coalesce at certain moments.

my victory is this. i have lost 134 pounds (as of today)and am now the

same size as my husband.

since we met as teenagers ive never been smaller than him. from the

very first day we met, i got looks from girls and heard "why is he

with HER" ..... (so many countless times)

fast forward 18 years. hahahahaahah.

the other day, my husband got into the car and was very upset and i

asked why and he said "you didnt see the way that guy was looking at

you?"..... (i didnt because i am trained to look down.) and i stopped

and made him stop the car so i was sure i heard it right......and i

know it is silly but.... i felt the redemption of 18 years worth of

scowls from other women and nasty comments. that night, january 4,

2007.......i became free and i dont know exactly why...but i just

finally..... finally.. .felt normal.

i laughed hard and loud and screamed YESSSSS!!!!! !

FINALLLY!!!! !!!...... ..and then made my husband drive around so i

could see this so called "checker outer"...... he obliged because we

both are super cool that way and i looked and......... the guy was

pretty handsome .....which made my husband that much more wonderful

and i know it probably sounds silly and juvenile but.....it just made

my heart sing more than any scale number could.

i felt worthy of being .......

with my husband

with myself

on earth

i just felt worthy of being for the first time......and it was very

powerful to me. i thought i would share that.
