As a matter of fact it *IS* all about me!

Sorry dear reader (whoever the brave soul named "anon" may be) I just wanted to clarify for you and anyone else who chooses to read this blog that yes, this blog is in fact all about me. It is about my daily life, my family, my personal journey of weight loss and fitness and change. It *IS* about me. I sometimes choose to share about other things but mostly just tell about myself and what is going on in my world around me. Self centered (not "senetered") maybe, maybe not. Guess it just depends on who and how you look at it. If it bothers you and you find it too much then I guess it is time to stop visiting. Whatever the case may be - on MY blog I try to focus on the positive as much as possible (thus the forced optimism title) and you trying to bring me, or anyone else down, did the opposite, just boosted me up and helped me to be even stronger! Thanks to you for your good deed! Have a GREAT day!

Ta ta for now!

Darla,
I would first like to say that you are the most inspirational person I know, and to have achieved your weight loss thus far all on your own is saying a lot about your integrity, grit, will power, optimism, dedication and all around love of life. Obviously, Anonymous has self-esteem issues and problems accepting themself for who they are. She is merely jealous of what you have and what you have accomplished. Kudos to you, Darla, for being an awesome human being, a wonderful and loving friend, and for sharing your accomplishments as well as your struggles with us all!

And for the record, Anonymous, what do you think a blog is??? It IS about you and your life -- a journal you share with others about yourself. Perhaps you need to get a blog. Or better yet, maybe try getting a life first.

Big hugs to you, Darla. I am so proud of you and proud to call you my friend. :)

Ya mean it isn't supposed to be all about you? What are you supposed to write about?
I've heard that good writer's write about what they know best. Who knows you better than you?
Geez, I hope Anon never comes to my blog. .... ME is all I write about!
Besides, I come here to read all about YOU!

You are the dearest, funniest, most kind and caring gl I know and if "Anon" can't see that then she needs new glasses. I pity her for not knowing you better.

You keep on keeping on, girl. I love YOU and I love reading about YOU!

Thanks for sharing your life with us.

Darla, I am so sorry some assinine twit had to post what they did on your blog. It's obvious it was someone who is very jealous of your weight loss and probably your life in general. People who lead sad lives always have to try and bring others down just like the school yard bullies. A cowardly bully at that.

Dear assinine twit,
You could not be more wrong about Darla. She is the most supportive, caring and unselfish person I know! If you truly KNEW her, you would know this! As far as blogs go, most people blog about THEIR lives, THEIR experiences and THEIR families. Are bloggers supposed to blog about the neighbors? The grocery store clerk? The mail man or lady? Seems clear to me you need to find another hobby besides trashing someone's blog. Lastly anonomous assinine twit...GET A LIFE!!!

Well, I didn't see the post from Anon, but just from Darla's response I came in here to put in my 2 cents worth...But I can't say it any better than these 5 people have.

I'm so thankful it's about you...I come here to read about a life that isn't mine! It's a nice break from "me". And I get inspired to make changes. I think this blog is a gift to others.

Thanks Darla!
Nancy

Darla, I posted a anonymous comment of august 16? "pooey"; if this is what you are refering to my comment was intended to be Positive, not negative. If it was offensive I apologize...I love your blog and support you give yourself and those that read it.

Anon poster, the person who posted that I am refering to made some really negative comments, it was nothing to do with what you had posted on the previous thread at all. Sorry for any confusion. :O)
