Weight loss has changed me for the better but still a struggle
Hello to all my Buddyslim buddies out there. There are alot of new faces on the site and that’s great. To everyone that still remembers me, hello!
Sorry I haven’t been on at all in the last few months. I lost alot of the weight I wanted to lose and I started to feel better. I made a New Year’s Resolution to be more social and I’m doing it. I’ve joined two mommy groups and it seems we are always out doing something. I’ve made a couple of good connections in those groups and found a couple of friends where we do “girl’s night out” stuff too. Losing the weight brought me that old confidence I had long ago. I don’t feel so bad looking for clothes anymore to go to these events either. If anything, losing weight has helped me keep myself up.
I’m really writing because I feel like I’m a bad buddy for not being on much anymore but being social with people around me has been good for my soul and good for my mind. I sometimes border on leaving the site completely because I do feel like this bad buddy. Not to mention I know no one really wants to hear about a person who weighs 155 complain about their struggle with weight loss. I’m more in a maintaining stage right now and trying to lose those few pounds that can come from socializing. Just so you know, if you feel I have not been there for you lately, feel free to delete me from your buddy list. I just don’t come on that much anymore but I didn’t want to just disappear without an explanation or whatever. I don’t think I will leave the site completely just yet but so many people still send me boosters and it makes me smile that people still think of me but bad that I’m not doing the same.
Keep up all the hard work out there. It was so worth it for me to tackle it all at one time. Don’t take to long trying to get ahold of your weight loss problems. Life is too short worrying about how to lose weight when we could just tackle it and then maintain it the best we can.
Good to see you….I would hunt you down if you left completely
You know it was really nice to hear about you again.
You’re not a bad buddy, you’re just out living life. Something alot of us want to get to do as well. I know becoming more social is on the top of my list. Being overwieght causes me to shut myself in.
And even though you can’t come on here every day, it sure is nice to here from you every so often to know someone from here is a success story.
Maintaining is alot of work also, so don’t think you can’t complain just cuz you’re alot lighter…
You inspire people like me, and I remember you from a year ago. Keep getting out there and living life, that’s what it’s all about. And when you get a chance, drop us a line, we love hearing about you even if its been a while.
WW - i don;t have much time, but am glad to see you doing so well and socializing and enjoying life! I was wondering how you were so that is great to see you here. I think you should come on when you want and not feel like a bad buddy! I know it is hard to do that, though, so do what is best for you. I believe everyone here has to take care of themselves first and then focus on the buddies. If your community is growing else where good for you! Keep on!!!
Great to hear from you WW.
Enjoy your social life and know that you will still be my buddy.
Welcome back!! And woot for the inspiration. Thanks very much! BTW, you look smokin’ hot!!! xoxo
We always welcome back a returning buddy…don’t you know hearing from someone who has made it, and is maintaining, is food (pardon the comparison) for our souls. You have much to offer, like advice on how to deal with the dangers of complacency…I’m sure that’s a real threat. It’s like having a friend “on the outside” giving us a peek at what awaits those of us who hope to follow in your footsteps. You are our real life WonderWoman. You Rule!
(that’s me, green with envy….lol)
Hey you better not leave we all remember and love our wonderwoman; some people I never delete especially long time buddies just let us know how you are doing from time to time and we’ll be okay!!! It’s a good thing to be social and get to know people and interact i know you shyed away because of your weight so have fun…we still love you very much here!!!

Don’t apologize for living life. We are all glad that you are out there doing what you want, feeling good about just being you, and making friends. That is not an easy thing to do, so if you are successful at that, don’t apologize for it. Keep in touch & best of wishes to you.
Glad to see you’re still around, but you shouldn’t ever feel guilty about not being on-line as much.
We always like to see you, you are an inspiration. I am glad you are getting out and mixing it up that is awesome.
