CELEBRATING THE AMAZING INDIVIDUALS AT BUDDYSLIM!!

happiness.gifWow! I cannot believe that I have the opportunity today to write a blog. I am having a very nice time here but being with all of you for a little while is rewarding too. I am happy that Estel is also a member that helps!, lol! Her decision to come back gives me great pleasure. She has so much to offer and letting someone here take that from her by hurting her, judging her wrongly, is not fair. That person’s unkind email was directed to both us. I wish she had emailed me personally instead of hiding behind my daughter. I do not understand people who refuse to communicate when they feel that there are problems with the relationship. I feel that only creates misunderstandings that lead to hurt feelings like my daughter and I are now left with. Enough said about that!

I am elated to be here with the vast majority of individuals who relish everyone’s relationship and support everybody on this difficult journey known as weight loss. The many individuals who give of themselves to everyone here and do so with such enthusiasm and caring. The many individuals who never judge anyone moreover they respect everyone without prejudice. The many individuals who are “we” centered therefore “He” centered who are able to see beyond this visible world and into the next “invsible” world. The individuals whose happiness in not dependent on getting what they want from a “me” oriented society but being happy with what they have.

By getting outside of this world and existing in the next we then see how irrelevant and even selfish the “me” world is when “He” is in command of our lives. Imagine if everyone here was not supportive of one another and justified judging and sadly turning people away because of the “me” world they live in? I don’t know if the Kama’s and Bette Jo’s and Dorey’s, Catrina’s, Angela’s, Annia’s, Dawn’s, WW’s, Jen’s, Sandy’s and everybody else who has lost a great deal of weight on BS would have realized such pheunominal success. Does not pleasure come from exhalting others and not ourselves? Does not exhalting ourselves demote us in the eyes of many especially His eyes? I personally get all of my kicks in life serving others even if it means I have to go without sometimes. I only take on this attitude in a “me” centered society because I am able to exist in the visible world and be happy while I give of myself completely to the invisible world. I do not ask anyone to live my life I simply ask that I am given respect for who I am just as I respect everyone for who they are and what their belief system may be providing they do not hurt anyone because of their beliefs. Faith that hurts others, intimidates others to satisfy our own selfish needs is not of Him.

I am so proud to be a part of such a loving and considerate website who are with me, my daughter every step of the way throughout this journey. Those of you, of which there are many who truly understand and respect us I/we thank you immensely. With us you will never be judged and risk abandonment as a result of that judgement. We are both very sensitive and know only too well the pain of harsh words, the devastating affects of rejection caused by passing judgement on others.

 YAHOO!!!! to all of the BS members who have realized amazing! weight loss results due to the overall support and acceptance here at BS. YOU HAVE NO IDEA! HOW INCREDIBLY PROUD I AM OF ALL OF YOU. I AM PROUD OF EVERYONE HERE ALSO WHO CHERISHES BEING A TEAM NO MATTER WHAT! OR SHOULD I SAY NO MATTER WHO? AND IS REALIZING WEIGHT LOSS RESULTS TOO! Luv Ya! sistas and mistas. Please be patient with me about reading all of your blogs over the last week or so that may take a little while, please know I have not forgotten you and what you have to say is always important to me. Off to my priority right now, Estel and her beautiful family.

    I really love how you phrase it here, being “He centered”! That is truly an awesome way to live and I am always, always going to remember that.

    I do not know the details of what happened, all I know is that I am sorry to hear that you and your beautiful daughter were hurt and wrongly judged. I also know that I am so glad to see that she is not only back on the site but that you guys are both going to use the Lord and His power to rise above it all. You both make me proud to be here! Without doubt it is the love and kindness given to me in support by friends here at BS that have helped me tremendously in my battle against obesity.

    Take care and have a GREAT rest of you visit! :o) Love & hugs!

    Thank you Yarrow. It is women like all of you who make me who I am and that is a happy individual who loves everyone and is willing to do anything for them. A woman who considers the word “equal” one of the most integral words to base her life on. Equality regarding everyone in her life. Luv Ya! sistas!
