I do follow Sean's blog, but have not yet had the chance to read from the begining and as such had not read this letter yet. Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09579814438118079024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-64334518679613431172009-07-16T12:32:05.399-04:002009-07-16T12:32:05.399-04:00Thank you.Thank you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844191762138935136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-32505764885909674332009-07-16T10:51:38.683-04:002009-07-16T10:51:38.683-04:00moved me to tears this morning too, your post and ...moved me to tears this morning too, your post and rereading Sean's letter. Back when I found Sean, I went to Day 1 and read all the way to the present day. I had already decided to change my life, his blog was exactly what I needed. I have patterned myself after him, 1500 cal and exercise daily, and in 6 weeks I've lost 22 pounds.<br />I'm just thankful that it finally 'clicked' for me, as I hope it has for you. Good luck!Laura Ward *aka Zaababy*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853938876914029214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-42039739634934171792009-07-16T10:50:23.150-04:002009-07-16T10:50:23.150-04:00I loved that letter, and it made me remember how I...I loved that letter, and it made me remember how I felt when I too was morbidly obese. If you haven't been there you may empathize, but you just don't know how it feels. <br /><br />On another note, don't let yourself get too hungry. For me, it always set me up for a cycle of overeating. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Diane, Fit to the Finishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03563578757721307599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-66422985705408521242009-07-16T07:16:29.742-04:002009-07-16T07:16:29.742-04:00I agree with Rebecca about the filling foods that ...I agree with Rebecca about the filling foods that make the most of the calories you are consuming, but I would like to add that you need to LISTEN to your body, Tammy. <br /><br />If you are hungry - there is a reason (like sped up metabolism from hauling a moving man's day's full of boxes for days on end). <br /><br />I know you are H@ll-bent on your calories, but on these days, maybe you could ease the grip and little and go over them a little, but with lean meat and veggies instead of Krystals? <br /><br />Just a thought....Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15462280506557043575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-6646403888428585752009-07-16T07:05:12.517-04:002009-07-16T07:05:12.517-04:00Tammy, thank you and Sean.

Thank you for your ...Tammy, that was so inspiring. Thank you for your wonderful post, and for sharing that letter that I probably wouldn't have read otherwise. It's so great that you decided to take control tonight, and not give in to the bad food. :)<br /><br />But about you being hungry all the time, maybe you're not eating enough filling foods. If you try to eat some protein and some fiber (vegetables, whole grains, fruits, etc.) at every meal, this will really help to keep you full longer you. You might already be doing this, I can't remember what all your days look like, but that's what I always read is the best way to stay full while eating fewer calories.screwdestinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777895976599010393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-7431999729140238142009-07-16T02:37:22.042-04:002009-07-16T02:37:22.042-04:00OK, I am in tears too now!OK, I am in tears too now!Fat[free]Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657562694069139967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-50069777686559267172009-07-16T01:20:16.276-04:002009-07-16T01:20:16.276-04:00No, Tammy--thank you.

I needed to read that again.<br /><br />After writing that on the night of day 135, I tried to read it to my family but I couldn't without bursting into tears. I tried to inject some humor because I think I felt threatened by how deeply moving the writing process of that letter was---it was from my heart and experiences---and it made me cry like a baby. I don't think Courtney had ever witnessed me cry like that.<br />And it just did again, but mainly I'm crying because of your words about it's effect on you.<br /><br />I made an audio version of that letter and included it in one of my Lose To Win Seminars. I sat down at a table with a pad and pen and started "writing" as my "thoughts" were audible to the audience. As I finished with the last line of the letter, the song "Freedom' by George Micheal started playing. It might sound over the top dramatic, but it had a profound effect on many that night. after that seminar, a young man came up and told me that he wept all the way through the presentation and dramatization. <br /><br />It's truly an honor and a blessing to me that my journey and past experiences can help someone else break free from obesity.<br /><br />Bless you and again---thank you for posting this.<br /><br />My best always<br />SeanSean Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973189725254566966noreply@blogger.com
