Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Hello everyone: Today is my two year anniversary from my Orientation date: April 3, 2003. Wow, so much has changed: parted ways with three good friends, two of whom are morbidly obese; and Zach and I parted ways. But there is so much to be happy for: -153 lbs! A new life! New wonderful friends! Enjoy the new me! I can't believe 2 years have passed--the two most difficult and wonderful years of my life.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Congratulations Francisco on another anniversary. You have so many milestones since you started this wonderful journey. I think the biggest one that you have is that you have really become the person that in the past could only dream if being. Yes it is a great life. Full of wonderful things yet to come.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Hi Francisco, I hope this doesn't seem like I don't respect boundaries, but I was telling one of my students about your co-worker friendship betrayal/loss. She is an author/motivational speaker and has a refreshingly wonderful way of cutting to the chase in relationships. I often learn more from her than I teach. We are both quite alarmed at what you went through during convalesance(sp) and when you returned to work. She struck me with her empathy toward your ex-friends (the blaggards in my eyes), saying " They need to separate who they are (they must be/have been wonderful people for you to have befriended them) from how they think others are seeing them (obese, failing-to act constructively as you have). I know you have been wronged and deeply wounded, and their twistedness is not justification, but sometimes understanding helps put the pain in a smaller place in our heart. Just a thought, and Happy Anniversary! Thank you for being such an incredible person and sharing here.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Francisco- Two years. Quite a lot can happen in two years and you are a walking testament to that. Now, what will happen the next two years? You have gained such a wealth of knowledge and power, I am thrilled by the prospects of your next two years! The choices you've made are just a pre-cursor to the choices to come... Experience will show which choices have helped you. To learn from experience, decide to keep making those choices. Experience will tell you which choices have held you back. To benefit from even your negative experiences, remember to avoid those same kinds of choices. The choices you've made have brought you to where you are. Now, looking at those choices can show you how to get where you want to go. You've experienced the reality of what works and what doesn't. So the choices you now make can be far more informed than those in your past. You've earned the ability to be very clear in your vision for the best life can be. And you've earned the ability to make the choices that will actually get you there. Look back at the choices you've made, and consider what they have brought you. They'll help you know what's best to choose now. Have a great two years!
