forgot one more point
I forgot to add one more poiint to my secret. A little girl reminded me today.
11. Never get comfortable. Too many of us lose weight until we get to a place where we are too comfortable. We can now find clothes that fit, people don’t stop an stare as bad and we feel better. I will not and actually, can’t . I can’t get to a certain point and then be comfortable because over here, that is not encouraged. I can’t buy any clothes for me till I get to goal. It is impossible because all the clothes are too small. No big dept here. I can’t get comfortable in a certain weight because over here, I am still fat. A little boy(my student) told me how one of the girls was talking about the big fat foreign teacher. Let me tell you, that took all the pride out of 60 pounds. I am not saying to forget and not be proud of losing what you ahve but just don’t get comfortable! They will not let me over here and I am thankful for it becuase when they do it, it reminds me and solidifies my will into iron. I look forward to the day they call me thin because it will not be said to make me feel better, it will be the truth.

Wow, I can’t imagine what life is like there for you. You must be a very strong woman! More than you even know, I could’nt leave the U.S.A…for a trip yes, but for good….never. I hope you find some good friends there and some people to just help support you through the transition….how long have you lived there?
I have lived here going on over nine years. The first few were really hard to get use to things over here but after I got used to it and then have a family here, it does help take the focus of the attention from me to the kids but most of the time I try and take it in stride. I have some good friends over here but thank you for the thoughts
