    Ann, congratulations and thanks for the advice and reminders. I so understand your JOY!


    "Lee, by "own it!" your daughter means that you should be proud of your accomplishment and understand that you deserve this. Not because you have to pay it forward or backward to justify your own benefits. She means that this is YOUR accomplishment, and accomplishing that for yourself is enough. You do not have to fix everybody. And you do not owe anyone for the benefits you have earned. They are YOURS!" Ann2

    Congratulations Ann for all of the hard work you put into losing your excess body weight.

    Thank you for all of the help, advice, support, information and humor you have put into your posts.

    I saw your temporary avatar (real photo) while you had it posted, you look great.
