So,

It seems like 2010 is the Year Nicole Got Her Groove (back?)

I am the thinnest and healthiest and happiest I have been in my entire adult life.

I have challenged myself and pushed myself beyond every limit and come out the other side all the more improved.

I am now embarking on a new chapter of my life... and as a friend put it - I've created a new (body) home for this new and fantastic woman I have been yearning to be for a long time.

Every day is a new day and I can only take them each at a time. I may seem to be moving slowly but I'm really moving in much bigger strides that I thought I would.

I am stronger by the minute. Yesterday was my first day not crying or blaming myself for things I shouldn't blame myself for.

I have so much hope.

I can do this.

As for the naysayers who've told me I'm looking BONY, I give them a great big.....
