We usually keep it well hidden & portray we have it all together! None of us do. If I could say one thing to you, it is YOU are not alone! You have my prayers and my thoughts are with you! You can do this! How do you climb a mountain...one step at a time! There will be days you will need another to give you a hand, reach out and grab someone else's hand! None of us in this life have to walk alone, you don't either! May God give you the strength you need for this journey, may He provide you with friends along the way to laugh with, cry with, & share with! Remember you to, can touch another!<br />Laugh often & God bless you~<br />Karen :)Karen Burghardtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-34247465504617459272010-05-21T13:21:37.414-05:002010-05-21T13:21:37.414-05:00LoL .

I highly recommend you start your own blog, and post often. It will help in ways I can't even describe, you just have to trust me and do it. When I first started blogging last June, I stumbled across Sean's blog and he quickly became my weight loss mentor. I copied his approach of 1500 cals a day and whatever exercise I could do. Believe me, it was VERY LITTLE when I first started. But I did it, and I kept doing it. Still got a ways to go myself, but I'm getting there, and you will, too. Some days are harder than others....that's when I stop looking at the big picture and just take it one day at a time, one healthy choice at a time, sometimes one HOUR at a time. The important thing is that you've made the decision to get the weight off and get healthy....now it's just a matter of getting it done. Never give up on yourself babe. You are worth every happiness in the world and I believe in you!! I hope we'll be seeing you around Blogland...we're welcoming you with open arms. Feel free to stop by my blog or email me anytime...it's listed on my sidebar on my blog. Make this weight loss THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN YOUR LIFE, and you'll reach your goals before you know it. :)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903038555489140718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-6121223941853261132010-05-21T04:51:01.850-05:002010-05-21T04:51:01.850-05:00Hi Nathaniel,

I know he's helped me so much... I had (and still have) a long ways to go, and his example and advice have made a huge difference to me. He's the real deal, and you can trust his advice.<br /><br />I'd love to see monthly photo updates of you and Sean too, if that's possible. You are going to do just fine!<br />Loretta<br />=^..^=Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-81688544594689385772010-05-20T12:35:30.922-05:002010-05-20T12:35:30.922-05:00Welcome to blogland Nathaniel!!

Good luck with your new lifestyle! Ma...Nathaniel,<br /><br />Good luck with your new lifestyle! Maybe it will help to think of losing weight as a very long car trip: every day you put in as much mileage as you can by eating in a healthy way and exercising. More important, if you get a flat tire and have a bad day, don't give up - just fix the tire by figuring out how to avoid that mistake and get back on the road. Eventually you'll get where you're going.Prof. Sancho Panzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11688178243832561724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-91162428070448265772010-05-20T11:04:28.479-05:002010-05-20T11:04:28.479-05:00Nathaniel,

You have probably the best weight loss mentor ever. It really is baby steps until you notice all the new things you can do and WANT to do.

But do not let yourself off the hook either.

Make one good choice, have a glass of water instead of soda with your lunch. Add a salad to your dinner. You can do this, you don't have to believe it, we'll believe it for you. You'll have missteps, it's okay. You are worth it. Take your time and be good to yourself. Consistent, positive tiny decisions all add up to success. And call on your support system. We're out here, reach out to us and others, ask for help, make your life a priority. You are a beautiful young soul, your life's journey may be different from others, but just as meaningful. You may find in the end that there was a reason for your suffering. Now is the time to turn it toward something wonderful. Make the commitment to yourself. God Bless you. You're in my prayers.maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07059026475982590981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-70733228201187728082010-05-20T10:05:05.053-05:002010-05-20T10:05:05.053-05:00Nathaniel, the journey might be long but don't...Nathaniel, the journey might be long but don't forget that you get to experience all the good stuff along the way. It's not like you have to eat well and get some exercise and see no results until a switch is flipped at the very end. Nope, you get to see the benefit and the success of every pound dropped....and they are like a snowball. Maybe it's only a couple now but those couple will get a couple more and pretty soon you have something really tangible to help keep you going.<br /><br />You know how you got to where you are....which means you know exactly what to do to get where you want to be.<br /><br />:)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851740853114439145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-63137052221145276662010-05-20T10:00:55.011-05:002010-05-20T10:00:55.011-05:00Nathaniel, you have found a good friend and mentor...Nathaniel, you have found a good friend and mentor in Sean.
