It's very true. The TDC is special because, for the most part, we don't judge. We've all been there are know that it's not that we didn't want it bad enough, that we were weak-willed or that we were lazy, there is something more than that.
I was just talking with my sister the other night and she was telling me that everyone she's talked to that knew me pre & post weight loss has commented on a change in my personality (for the better ) since. Apparently, I'm more positive than I used to be. I'm not surprised. I don't think I'm a different *person* than I used to be, but there is something about failing each and everyday at something you desperately want to accomplish, losing weight, that was killing that light inside of me. Everyday, I tried, and everyday I couldn't find the key to make it work and it sucked the life and joy right out of me.
I don't think the general population would understand that feeling, but I know most of the people here at the TDC understand.
