HEY SHIRLEY(WonnaBeStrong)

[claridge]

I just want to say that you should change your user name to (I AmStrong)

because in the last few days, you seemed to have taken a GIANT step forward in positivity.

Your sharing jokes, yourve got alot more positive attitude coming through in your posts, and I can see you sitting at your computer with a smile on your face most days.

THAT is a BIG change from the Shirley who first joined this mad house, and I think its FANTASTIC

You deserve all the happyness that comes your way girl, and I really LIKE you because your such a great person and your letting other people see that to

It was important to me, to tell you that

Marion,
Thank you so much! Well, I think it finally hit me that I can't let other people bring me down so much. I've been letting this affect me for so long...I mean years and I told myself the other day "just let it go". Also, I'm so sick of arguing with Dh that I figure it's not even worth it to open my mouth most of the time. Why waste my breath? Right?

As for being more positive, I think you gals on this board have had a great influence on me. You all are so great! I used to visit another message board (the site will remain unnamed) and most of the people on that board are so cynical and sarcastic; (Not that there's anything wrong with that sometimes) and didn't really offer any help.

As for weight loss, I kick myself everyday for not eating right but that's another story.
Hopefully, someday, I can post body pics. I don't even dare tell anyone my bodyfat percentage. It's scary.

Hugs,
Shirley
