Cowgirl Tuffy, this is beautifully written. You are doing so well and should be so proud of yourself! I am not a religious person, but I think the way you express the combination of your faith plus your action is just lovely. One of the things I love about DietBet/social stuff online is the chance to interact with and learn from people different from ourselves...I so appreciated reading this and know that I am out here wishing you well! Good for you!
