While losing weight, I think is it incredibly important to have support. The folks that offer me support sometimes will lend me a shoulder to lean on or a (much needed) boot to the rear depending on the situation. They also celebrate with me. Today I have something to celebrate and it has gone out in a mass email to those who are sharing my little adventure. I'd like to share it here too! Here's what went out:

Hi Everybody!

    I am sending this email out to those of you who have been supportive of me in my weight loss adventure. I have a HUGE celebration today! Some time ago I cleaned out my closet. I packed up anything and everything that really didn't fit...I had 4 garbage bags full of clothes by the time I was finished. I closed each bag, wrote my name on an index card, the weight at which point I thought the clothes would fit and tied it all up with a pretty ribbon. It went into the storage building. As you ALL know, I have sagging clothes issues these days (oh, the woe of it all *GRIN*!). I decided I'd take those bags out of storage and see what I could fit into. Are you sitting down? Are you ready for this? In the "NEW" collection of clothes, I have 14 work shirts, 3 Play shirts, 4 jackets, 2 sweaters and a pair of pants!!! WOOO HOOOOO! Not only that, I found that many of the too small clothes I had packed away are now too big!!!! I packed them up and they will go to the yard sale this summer. That bag holds: 16 shirts, 2 sweaters and 2 pairs of pants!!!! I am PSYCHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

I am hoping that you guys will share your celebrations too...after all, we're all working hard to meet personal goals and celebrating is part of the fun!!!
