The BEST Medicine
Thank you for the wonderful and supportive comments you left on my last blog titled, “Utterly Disappointed & Frustrated.” Your words have made a world of difference in my gray and sad little world. I am honestly very frustrated and sad to say, hopeless. I’m glad I came in to blog last night because your comments have given me new perspective, renewed faith and wisdom. Buddyslim and the people who make it happen is by far the BEST medicine for the blues.
Anyway, I am still frustrated, disappointed, but I am no longer hopeless. My vacation might just be what the Dr. ordered, although my Probation Officer expects me to exercise while I am on vacation and she made valid points for doing so. (Thanks Tatiana) 
I am slowly, but surely coming out of my funk. I HONESTLY do not know why the scale keeps going up and staying there, but I will continue to do what I must (eat well and exercise), for this is afterall a lifestyle change, but above all else THE HARDEST THING I’VE EVER HAD TO DO and hey, I am up for the challenge ****HUGE GRIN**** thanks Rebecca!
So even though I may not be the happy-go-lucky-Jo you guys are used to, I want you to know that as I’ve said to so many of you before: THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

Love you Jo. As do about one million other people on this site. Don’t forget that, and remember, there are strength in numbers. We shall get through this together, k?
Hugggggggggggs,
Shan
hi jo,
hope you are feeling a bit better today, it’s really tough some days isn’t it.
I’ve been reading blogs catching up on whats happening while I went AWOL and when I read ” my parole officer said” I was stunned for a minute…thought you meant a REAL parole officer! LOL!
take care
Hey Jo, I’m glad to hear you’re beginning to feel better!! I truly empathize with you on this one, and I want you to know that we’re here for you. You’re right, this too shall pass, and you’ll be back on track before you know it. You’re one of my oldest BS friends and one of the most supportive and faithful. You’ve always been an inspiration to me, and you continue to be so. Everyone is allowed to have bad days, Jo, and Shan is right when she says we all love you and are here for you!! Stay strong, and remember that you are worth it!! Keep your chin up honey!! Hugs!! xoxo Angie
Bless your heart! I have come on here feeling as though I COULD NOT DO THIS. Please don’t be so hard on yourself. I was one who thought I had to stay exactly on plan or give up for years. All that matters is to keep trying….over and over. We are human beings. We screw up and must forgive ourselves and go back to the plan. I’ll bet you don’t hold others to the same standards you set for yourself. Use your vacation to get some good self-talk going with yourself. You have helped me so many times. We love you and want the best for you. Love, Marge
Aawwww Jo…”giving you a huge hug” its ok…you don’t have to be happy-go-lucky all the time. Its literally impossible.
I just want you healthy…and confident. You have such a big loving heart and you’ve just come across rough times. You have alot happening in your life with the move and all.
Things will come together…keep your faith and remember you are loved
Hey Jo, I just put some motivations quotes up on the blog today and guess what one of them was?
The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it
Hmmm, this is the hardest thing you ever had to do? Think of how you will feel when you look back and go “Wow, that’s done.”
Love ya!
We all go through it, we have to ride the bumps in the end we’ll come out on top.
Jo. You and I both know where we are, and where we stand……Time takes its course, and yet again, we will have yet again the inspiration we need. Just keep going, keep moving, try to focus, and love yourself. You will get there. Everything in this life takes time, and that includes, the time it takes to believe in ourselves. You will, and you more than likely, already do….you just don;t know it yet. Lots of love your way….flo
I LOVE IT…. This too shall pass
This is the best thing to ever be said for so many to hear and so many to read. I am wild with enthusiasm. My day did not start to so swell, but this is the best. Thanks for this. Day did not start so swell, but this makes everything all better 
You ROCK!
Blogs are my salvation, and awesome people like you, Jo, love you lots, and “this too shall pass” is one of my grandmother’s sayings!
Jo, you know we love you whether you are up or down. So just take care of yourself. PS I Know Tatiana will keep us all in line LOL. -Dee
