You always make me smil...Susan, thank you so much! You always make me smile, thanks for your advice and kind words. My doctor was pleased when he saw me this week, he told me to keep it up. The weather is amazing right now, that makes me feel better too. I love the fall and winter here, lol. I'm sure you can understand why ;)Its me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15520813780079948188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435796215811370380.post-53780841086151023902011-09-11T08:02:50.917-07:002011-09-11T08:02:50.917-07:00I’m back from vacation and slowly catching up. You...I’m back from vacation and slowly catching up. Your wonderful blog is one of the first places I wanted to visit, Dinah. :)<br /><br />First of all, you must do this (lose weight & get healthy) for yourself, not for anyone else. Seriously, the hell with what anyone else has to say, especially when their comments are cruel and hurtful. Never give anyone the power to hurt you like that. Being overweight and struggling with dieting makes you no less worthy of love or respect than anyone else. You deserve to be treated kindly and with respect and should not accept anything less.<br /><br />The part about not getting comments: get yourself set up on an online stat counter (something like http://statcounter.com/) so you can see how many people visit your blog on a daily basis. You’d be amazed. Most people visiting blogs are lurkers. Just because they don’t comment doesn’t mean they don’t stop by and read what you have to say, or care about you. Dinah, your personal story is touching many more people than you could probably imagine--and helping others who may be in the same boat as you! So forget about not getting comments. They’ll come eventually.<br /><br />And the part about not juicing? We dieters tend to fall into an “all or nothing” mentality, whether it’s juicing or Weight Watchers or raw foods or low carb, lowfat, etc., etc. If we slip up, we’ve failed. Part of the reason is because promoters of different diets, health programs, etc., keep stressing that we simply MUST do it 100% or else we’re not on program. <br /><br />What we dieters DON’T need, Dinah, is added guilt heaped upon us. If you feel like juicing, then juice. If you don’t, then don’t. You don’t owe anyone any explanation or have to make any excuses when you’ve strayed from your program. It’s just called being human. Nobody is perfect.<br /><br />No matter what your weight or your success/failure dieting, you’re worthy and lovable and you deserve all good things. But me telling you that isn’t half as important as you telling yourself, Dinah. You WILL succeed. In your own way. In your own time. Believe that…because I do! :)<br /><br />**Hugs**<br /><br />--SusanSusan Bodendo/Super Earthlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552499547660991944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435796215811370380.post-36073814042144756012011-09-01T11:35:44.377-07:002011-09-01T11:35:44.377-07:00Seriously, lack of juicing? NOT an issue :) What...Seriously, lack of juicing? NOT an issue :) Whatever is working for you is what you need to do. The only thing I'm an expert on is what works for me and most days even that's a stretch!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775794907218052899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435796215811370380.post-83977021796792024632011-08-30T18:00:27.638-07:002011-08-30T18:00:27.638-07:00Pffffffft I'm not giving up on you.
