Hi all - it is I, Krista, back from the "big salad toss" and YES, I made it to see the other side of this transformation! I just got home, today, and first thing in order that I need to do is to give MY ANGEL - MELANIE JORDAN a BIG HEARTFELT THANK YOU! She is the best and is such a beautiful person, inside and out! I will always be in her corner for anything she decides to take on in her life. I feel bad I cannot respond to the many wonderful and supportive emails that I received from many of your out there -- so many that I know and don't know. Just know that I love you and I'll be getting back into the swing of things slowly. The ride home from the hospital took a lot out of me, so I am recooperating from that, but I will talking with many of you === soon!!!!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my heart also for the prayers and well wishes, they kept me feeling like I had a halo of angels all around in all of my experiences thus far. :o) LOVE TO ALL! -- Krista

Angelreporting - Krista S leaves today for her surgery on Monday with cute Dr.Perez in Fort Lauderdale. Please visit her page..and wish her well... Krista wrote a farewell to Food..that I thought should be shared with everyone...SHe has a great way with words ! Dear Food: When I first discovered you, you were so sweet (literally). You appealed to me in my weak moments, and offered a temporarily relief from my cares. You would make me feel full, nourished and cared for; albeit your charm never lasted long, and I always needed you again, and moreso after each time I depended on you. Not long after I met you, hunger became my constant companion, and it didn't take long before my physical appearance changed in the mirror, but at that time, I was so dependent on you, that I needed *you* more than I needed to approve of my reflection, so I chose you over everything else, and we stayed "happily" and sloppily married this way for several years. These years were not easy years, and when I look back now in hindesight, I can see that you caused me as much pain as I thought you were chasing away. You were a clever illusion, all smoke and hand gestures, keeping my eyes on you and promising a cure, all the while robbing me blind. And in my pursuit of you, I lost contact with my true sustainer, my Body, and abused myself mercilessly, allowing my body it to be overrun and crippled. So, I am here today to tell you, Food, that we are through. Like a bad romance, I am ready to put you behind me and shed you like a second skin. I'm ready to say goodbye to your chains and not look back. I will spend no more time lamenting over the time you have robbed from me. I am getting back together with my Body, as it is my priority now. Don't bother knocking, because I won't forget the end result of our love affair. I won't be changing my mind. I sing the body electric (!!!!!) and I crave nothing more than to wrap my arms around my Body and feel my own arms hugging me back. And so, Food, although you will always be a part of my life, it will no longer be a part that is in control and calling the shots. I'm taking back that control now, and guess what??? It feels damn good! Sincerely, Krista-the-Free
