Van...congrats on the success and thanks for the pep talk coach. I have stepped outside of my comfort zone a bit and it scares you, but the results are amazing. I am so happy for you.

Van,

I thought it was great that you took a chance and went out there to look for a change that suits you better. I am pretty sure I am going back to school in January. I want to get a BSN in Nursing, and at my old college I can get 1/2 price tuition as an Alumni! So great job Van, you are an inspiration in many ways!!

Too bad San Fran is so far from me...I would've had to come and visit you if you were in the San Diego area.

Congratulations and all the best as you persue your new dream! You have already been successful with one dream, a new and healthy you! You actually 'glow' with health and happiness.

For those of us behind you on this 'trip', did you gain confidence as you lost the weight? Or have you always been a self-confident person? I'm just wondering what to expect as I am a rather shy person but want to be able to feel more comfortable in public.

Default Missy~

I am an odd cookie...I have always been the life of the party..fat or thin...and I am also a home body...fat or thin...I know ALOT of people...but have very few friends...I am in charge of my 20th class reunion..and I can't wait!!My whole life seems like a contradiction

I think "losing" the weight helps with confidence but have always felt confident but liked the "safe" zone...Change freaks me out a little..always has.

Talking Hey Duckie

That sounded funny....about you asking your Dad if you could go somewhere..
I guess we are always someone's kid ..even in our mid 30's.
