A wonderful list of inspiration and just what I needed tonight!
My favourite.....and its HARD to decide on one, would have to be Edmund Hilary. I am learning, very slowly to conquer myself and my life with food. It isn't about fighting the fat, its fighting me and my behaviour.
With the help of each other along the way we will get there...I really believe we will. I will be here to celebrate when you both do!
