From reading here for years, I know how much you adored her. <br /><br />On a selfish note, I'm glad you're back.

You have already climbed the mountain. That little voices are wanting to coax down off the summit is something you will be able to overcome. You may listen to them for a bit, but then you will realize that they are not offering you the freedom and the sights that can only be seen from the top of accomplishment and discipline. We are all human and want so much to go back and believe in fairy tales at times. Keep up your good work. You earned it, and will keep doing so.One More Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553250550872079499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-82545039342955063162012-11-16T16:39:17.857-06:002012-11-16T16:39:17.857-06:00God bless you bud, us old hats have to realize i...God bless you bud, us old hats have to realize it is never over....I have been struggling too...so much of me wants to it to all be natural. I am not sure it will ever be natural. But it is doable and possible. Luckily we both know it. We will do it. Glad beyond belief that you are honest.

It really did seem like a spiral I could not pull out of. I still feel bad for the circumstances, but I am so glad you are back on the blog man!!!Shane G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16220002629075223076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-11413320360806253942012-11-16T10:08:18.742-06:002012-11-16T10:08:18.742-06:00I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandmother.

So much to handle. <br />I'm glad to see you have your calorie budget and exercise mojo back. You have always inspired me and continue to do so.WWSuzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14200582568720343436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-5582021514539961952012-11-16T09:37:28.802-06:002012-11-16T09:37:28.802-06:00I, too am a relapse survivor.

My heart sank a little at the photo of you and your grandma. What a precious woman she was. I'm so sorry for your losses but thankful that you're back. A bittersweet blog this was. I wish you the very best.

I've found that your posts this week have been refreshingly honest... I loved reading your daily diary and relating to the challenges that you faced but if I'm honest, recently I haven't felt the same connection with you through your facebook posts. I always got the impression that once you reached your goal that you found things easy, your motivational comments and your perfect smile always sort of made me feel a bit, well... inferior as I struggled to not slip back into my own bad habits. It was only when you posted on here earlier this week that I realised that in actual fact that many of your motivational posts were as much directed at yourself as at your followers. I misjudged you and I'm sorry for that but I'm so glad that you have decided to come back to the blog. I wish you all the best as you turn things around Sean, please don't forget that you don't need to be perfect in order to gather respect - being human and the challenges that occur as we travel through life are things we can all relate to and one of the biggest draws to your story has been the fact that so many people can relate to it. :)Irish Girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-61828927283128235692012-11-16T07:15:54.112-06:002012-11-16T07:15:54.112-06:00Glad to see you are back on track Sean.

In my own selfish way, I read this post this morning and realized that you are human, just like every other overweight person who is struggling to lose weight or struggling to maintain. So if you don't have some magic secret and are able to struggle, then well maybe I am really able to do it too. I have made excuses for so long "ah well he is just that one in a million person who's body easily lets go of weight" (no offence, I know how hard you work, it was just a cop out for me).<br /><br />Thank you for being so open with your journey Sean. I learn so much from reading about your sucess as well as your struggles. You Rock!

I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling since you stopped writing in this space.
