Not hardly. Because I love the music and because we have so many new WISHers--I just felt like posting this again :)
I was thinking, last night, about how great it would be if I could wish upon a star then go to bed and wake up thin.
I decided, however, that I am glad that losing weight that way isn't possible. If I could lose weight that easily I would have missed so much.
If we could all WISH away the pounds we wouldn't need WISH. If it wasn't for WISH I wouldn't have been able to get to know so many WISHers better. I wouldn't have made so many new friends and I would have missed out on a lot of celebrations.
I would have missed the kind words that give me joy and courage. I would have missed the chance to encourage, support and help other WISHers (and what a gift that has been for me) who are struggling with the same challenges and issues I face, myself, who, in turn, encourage, support and help <b>me</b>.
I would have missed wonderful words that make me feel better about myself and empower me to stick with my healthy eating plan and lifestyle.
So, I'm glad that I can't WISH this weight away. I'm not willing to give up the joy and friendship that I find here on the WISH board.
<i>Oh, who do I think I am kidding--I would <b>kill</b> to wish on a star and wake up thin! </i> :teeth:
I mean, can't I have all the benefits of WISH that I just named <i><b>and</i></b> wake up thin?
And one more little rambling, while I'm at it. Would it <i>kill</i> you lurkers to post? Too shy to type words? How about just posting a smilie face? How about if you think this post is silly you post a sad smilie? How about you post a period or comma? You don't have to use a lot of words if you don't want to just give us <i>some</i> indication that you are out there.
How can I get to know you better if you don't post? Don't be such a meanie. Come on, you know you want to :teeth: When you decide to join us we will be here waiting. We're saving a place just for you.
