Turned out mine was medication related (why in the world do people voluntarily take steroids?) - didn't make it any easier to take the weight off, and then, oh irony, when the weight was gone, so was my cleavage!!!!!!<br />SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07737945408448245076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082514854778837141.post-79090929699994427472011-03-30T10:13:49.043-07:002011-03-30T10:13:49.043-07:00Thanks Rachel for you honesty and for exposing you...Thanks Rachel for you honesty and for exposing your struggles to everyone. I think when we all see that we are not alone in this food battle it makes us all a little stronger and less shameful. I love me some cupcakes and I would give up lunch anyday for some sweets of any kind. I love the small group moto "Doing Life Together" it is so appropriate to what Team Lean has done for me over these last 12 weeks. We are all stronger, thinner, and healthier because we have done life together for the last 12 weeks. I have been changed from the inside out and I am so blessed to have endured this journey with so many awesome ladies!!!Donyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267759247669521443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082514854778837141.post-80457281702401909402011-03-29T15:01:34.374-07:002011-03-29T15:01:34.374-07:00oh, dear. amy, thanks, but perhaps you should spe...oh, dear. amy, thanks, but perhaps you should spend more time with me before you jump to that glorious conclusion ;)rachel beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596528108025086898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082514854778837141.post-77428064590356533112011-03-29T10:56:31.350-07:002011-03-29T10:56:31.350-07:00Not only are you a sweet person, talent hair-sylis...Not only are you a sweet person, talent hair-sylist (is that correct term?) and a amazing baker...well, you're just amazing.Amy Bazemorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392663595085320331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082514854778837141.post-52523463061036405532011-03-29T10:23:29.226-07:002011-03-29T10:23:29.226-07:00oh, girl. cannot wait to see your hair! there ha...oh, girl. cannot wait to see your hair! there have been times when the pixy was ok, but others (when i thought i could do it myself), when it was NOT becoming. and thanks to both of you who think i am cute in those pics. i feel greasy just looking at them:)<br /><br />and portia, man, those things WERE everywhere! they still are, really, now that they are... hmm... post baby with 36DD capacity with not so much to fill said- ew. joys of the postpartum body. <br /><br />thanks all.rachel beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596528108025086898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082514854778837141.post-89386567097930733762011-03-29T09:56:41.046-07:002011-03-29T09:56:41.046-07:00Since I've only known you with the pixie and t...Since I've only known you with the pixie and the ample tah-tahs I have to admit to being partial to that look :) I'll never forget how distraught a certain kid on our trip to Ecuador was when he kept bumping into them: "I'm sorry, but they're just.... EVERYWHERE!!"<br />But since we all look best when we feel our best, I'm happy for you that you've managed to balance the scales (literally) and find your happy medium. Self-discipline is not only SO attractive, but it really does get you a lot further in life.. obviously in many areas, not just eating or working out, although for a lot of people those are the most obvious ones. And I love reading your blog. It's real and funny. You're great with words! Much love from down here.....Portiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02502344570696042375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082514854778837141.post-70609467356935348952011-03-29T09:39:47.407-07:002011-03-29T09:39:47.407-07:00Not to disregard all of your hard work to lose wei...Not to disregard all of your hard work to lose weight, but I think you look cute in some of those pictures. :). And I like your pixie and I'm not just saying that b/c I just went and chopped off all of my hair. ;)Anjelicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076491023195353445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082514854778837141.post-67602589600641988842011-03-29T08:54:14.800-07:002011-03-29T08:54:14.800-07:00ha! suh-weet!ha! suh-weet!rachel beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596528108025086898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082514854778837141.post-73564496990758641782011-03-29T08:34:24.335-07:002011-03-29T08:34:24.335-07:00This was amazing.

God is doing His work and teaching me so much about Him through my food! Crazy as that sounds, it's working for me. A single cupcake can be enjoyed, but I'm not at a point where I can have cakes and more than one of certain things in my home. I glad you shared this. I pray for the day that I am comfortable in my skin and around food. ...until then GO TEAM LEAN!! Now. Off to the gym I go, working extra hard so i can enjoy breakfast Thursday morning! :) love ya!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901328441740616924noreply@blogger.com
