New Beginnings
Submitted by teri on Thu, 2009-11-12 00:46
So this is my first blog entry on my website. I waited until today to start the blog as a commemoration of my losing 100 lbs. I actually weighed in this morning bringing my total loss to 101. It's really weird because I remember last spring when I would hear of people losing so much I thought to myself I wish I could lose 100 lbs. Now my wishing is just I wish I had done it sooner. Not sure what the mind block was, but am glad it's gone. Not that its not still hard sometimes. Sometimes I think "I wish I could just sit and eat bag of potato chips", but that's all it is: wishing. Doesn't go beyond that and then it dissipates. Funny how old habits can consume you and don't want to be let go. I want to use this blog for fitness updates and the like. It's getting a little hard for me to use facebook and twitter. I dont want people to think I'm blowing my own horn to get attaboys! This would be the forum for me to share those things. I am truly blown away by the support and love that everyone has been sharing. I truly hope this site will inspire and motivate others to change thier lifestyle. I was in such bondage to food that I know if I can do it, anyone can do it. It really isn't as hard as you think. Getting started and sticking with it in the beginning is really the hard part. Like quitting smoking. To all of my family and friends: Thank you, thank you for your love and support as I continue this journey. And Anita, I wouldn't have made it this far without you. I love you, my friend.
Teri, I am so proud of you,

Great web site. What a
Great web site. What a wonderful story! You are really motivated. The pictures are amazing. Congrats. Love, Barb Webner
Well done
Hi, I'll second that. Just stumbled upon your site. Losing 100 pounds is no mean feat. It's good to do it gradually, making sure that you don't skip meals as some poor souls do - in their rush for slimmery.
Congratulations.

I Love You
Teri, you have no idea what your friendship means to me. You are an inspiration to me and so many others. I have prayed for you for years and the Lord has answered abundantly more than I could have asked. I am assured of having my best friend for many years to come. I know that I haven't battled weight to the degree that you have but I have battled negative self-image for many years. You have shed the light of Jesus on this dark place and healing has come. The Lord is using you in a mighty way and I know that others will be touched by what God has done in your life. You are beautiful inside and out.
You keep me accountable and for that I am grateful. I know that we will continue to get up way too early and run/walk in the cold and do those stupid pushups til our arms fall off. You make it bareable.
I love you and I am so proud of your accomplishments and I know we will be seeing a lot less of you as the months go by. You look awesome and you have a glow that everyone comments on.
See you at the finish line my friend.
Love,
Anita
Re: I Love You
I am so glad I didn't wear mascara today. :)
You look marvelous. I hope
You look marvelous. I hope that switch turns on soon in my brain. As I am an emotional eater and have other issues in my life to deal with I am tired of not letting go and having that baggage weigh me down. I love you and hope to join your wagon train to healthy eating.

Teri, I am Aaron Voynar's mother. Aaron sent me your website because you are one of my favorite people at his church. :)
Teri, this is wonderful! I am so proud of you! You look great, and I wish you all the best as you grow in health and vitality. And, although you may not realize it, you have begun a ministry through your website. You are an inspiration to others by what you have done and are doing. Today, we need people of inspiration in our lives. May God bless you as you continue to bless others.
