Hi Ladies!!! I know it's been such a long time since I was in here. I felt drawn back here today and hope to make a habit of it....I need all you nice ladies as you are GREAT supporters.
Let me fill you in....
Last time I was here, I was a member of WW and became pregnant. Because of the pregnancy I stopped going to WW. I can't recall if I came in to update you, but in May I miscarried. I was nine weeks along. It was a difficult time, but I accepted God's will for us and put it behind me. I didn't return to WW however. I tried the Biggest Loser diet, and others on and off, and managed to lose more weight. I did so well for a while. The holidays rolled around and RUINED everything...or I ruined everything I should say. I've been feeling SO disgusted with myself the past few weeks...months actually. I remembered how well I did on WW and I remembered you guys! For about a week now I have been contemplating returning to WW. I've even asked a couple of friends to join me. I have decided to go back and will do so soon. I loaned out all my books to a friend that lives out of town and she's mailing them back to me soon. As soon as I get them, I'll attend a meeting and get a new routine going.
Now... I am finally student teaching!!! 2nd grade right now and I LOVE it!! Teaching is so rewarding! I will graduate May 12th!! Getting a teaching job is on my mind constantly now! It's just so exciting. I feel like the WW plan will really work well with my schedule. Finding time to get in exercise has been the biggest challenge. I've done NOTHING for weeks. I really feel it too...and the scales show it! I'm just trying to turn over a new leaf in life and I felt like coming back here had to be a part of that!
There's more...lol God has been pulling at my heart strings for so long, and I've been turning a deaf ear to Him. I have a lot of guilt and shame over it but I KNOW He's waiting with open arms with nothing but forgiveness and love for me. I need Him in my life. I know some of you ladies lead a christian lifestyle and that's the kind of support I need. You're all so special! When I was here before, someone gave me a website of a small christian forum. I have lost it somehow. If any of you recall, please give it to me again.
I will close for now as you are SURELY tired of reading at this point!! LOL. I look so forward to posting with you all again.

Kassidy...I'm so happy that you're back here with us! And, I'm even happier that you've come home to the Lord! He'll get you through, He really will. I'm also thrilled that you've come to the soupbowl! You'll find so much love and understanding there that you'll feel like you've found a family. I think we ladies have prayed eachother through just about everything there is...and we will (Lord willing) til He calls us home.
You look wonderful in your picture...know that I'm praying for you and I know you'll do well. The WW program has been updated and changed a bit...so you'll be getting new materials at meeting anyway. Enjoy it!
You made my day by coming back...you'll never know how many times you've come to my heart over the past few months. Glad you're back! Blessings....Colette

That means so much Colette. To know that you ladies thought of me while I was away just proves that I needed to be back here. It's such a special place. It's feels wonderful to be back!
