What I love best about CK is all the people. Everyone here is so different. Different personalities, different background, different values and/or beliefs, different likes and dislikes. Yet here we are united for one purpose, to lose weight through support, commitment and even failure, learning from our mistakes and the mistakes of others, but never giving up.

I can reach out and touch someone who I would probably never even take the chance to know, due to our differences. They can reach out and touch me, build me up, without even knowing me, living or working with me, being related to me. Here we are united for the sole purpose of supporting each other, because we are all going through the same struggle. We might not be friends in our physical world due to our differences, but in our on-line world, the differences do not matter.

Some are just beginning their journey, some have almost completed their trail. Yet we all know the internal struggle with emotional eating, self-sabotage, binging and all the other vices. We all know the external struggle with family and work parties, peer-pressure to "have just one bite", even the media, constantly luring us with commercials and advertisements. Using their blowers to distribute the wonderful smell of food cooking as we drive by, timed just right for dinner hour or lunch rushes, when they know we are the most hungry and at our weakest moment.

For me, the CK people make all the difference. I read their blogs. I feel their frustration. I understand their struggles. I applaud their success, and I know I am not alone.
