A mention on a big news site

Dietgirl (who likes to get hammered and build furniture!) was recently interviewed on The Early Show on CBS TV:

All very nice you might say but why am I mentioning this? Well look who got mentioned at the bottom of the article under Favourite Diet Blogs!

I’m rather flattered. :) It’s always nice to be mentioned by someone famous.  It’s even nicer that it’s Dietgirl.  She comments every once in a while and I must admit that every time I see her comment I am amazed.  She has 500 000 + readers and still posts encouraging remarks here.  She was one of the first bloggers that I started to follow and I’d encourage you all to visit her site.

BTW her book is fantastic!  If you are feeling discouraged read this book as it is incredibly inspiring.  It chronicles her journey and the ups and downs.  I think we all experience the ups and downs and it’s really great to see that you can have success if you just stick with it.

    The book IS great. I gave out a bunch of copies to some of my new clients.

    But, I also gave them your url (and a few others) as a great resource during their weight loss journey.

    Keep up the good work and maybe, some day soon, we will be seeing you being interviewed on tv.

    What an honor that has to be and you have to be so proud of yourself. You have a accomplished a lot and you deserve this fame as well.
    Thanks for your comment. I so love hearing that others go through or have gone through what I deal with as well. I to hope that I have learned and that my slips become less frequent and last shorter periods. It is a learning process and as long as I can recognize what triggers it I am sure I’ll be able to have a little bit more control over how I deal with it.
    Thanks again for your kind words and I look forward to continue reading your blog as well..
