Deanna:

For years when I would say my weight out loud, I would say " one

hundred and (insert various numbers) " . As soon as it flew out of my

mouth I would say " boy, am I ever in denial " Because I hadn't been

under 200 pounds in over 25 years. There has always been a part of

me that could not, would not except weighing so much.

Having said that....Know that I understand it's about more than a

number on the scales....It's an emotional place to be; under 200

pounds....and the blessing is...it's gone FOREVER!!!!!

I think I heard that yippppeeee all the way here in California....so

happy for you.
