		<description><![CDATA[Bella,
      This blog is so inspiring.  Just by browsing through some of your posts, I can tell you are a positive, fun woman who loves life and just wants her body to reflect that.  You&#039;ve definitely gained a cheerleader in me.  :)  
      I&#039;m excited to read your blog in more detail.  From what I&#039;ve read so far, we have much of the same interests, and that&#039;s always refreshing to read.  And Sofi is adorable!!!

Good Luck in Your Journey,
Violet

		<description><![CDATA[I had RNY in December and it has literally changed my life.  Like you, I did a lot of work upfront and I&#039;m convinced that&#039;s why I&#039;m having an easier time emotionally than some of the other folks who&#039;ve had surgery.  They may be losing faster than I am, but mentally I&#039;m in a much better place than some of them.  I saw a nutritionist for a couple of years and lost some weight before my surgery.  It is definitely not the easy way out...you still have to do all the work.  But it does make it easier to manage your portions and hunger.  Best of luck to you!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good luck, Bella! Those are some great, achievable goals.

Maybe another good tactic would be to find a hobby for the evenings when you&#039;re feeling like snacking? I love to read and just pulling out my book makes me forget about food for the night. Just a thought.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bella! I stumbled across your blog/site looking up some fitness reviews.  You are speaking to my heart!! I am 43 years old, we are the exact same height and within 5 pounds of the same weight.  I have made myself a renewed fitness commitment this year to lose weight healthily after a doctor tried to talk me into weight loss surgery and I had to admit that I really hadn&#039;t put my all into losing it the old fashioned way...hard work and sensible life changes.  I have been diabetic for years and want to improve my health condition and get reduce or get off medications.  I am making bold changes in my personal life this year including the weight loss.  Thanks for the inspiration...I will be following your progress and keeping track of mine as well.  Good Luck and thanks again for letting me know I&#039;m not battling alone! XOXO]]></description>
