Eva: I am so sad that I will miss you when I am back in NYC for the Fourth of July. But I can't wait to read about your new adventures in NOLA. BTW, I've tagged you over at my blog. :)
Cait: JeAnne - I've been following your progress for 5 yrs and not long ago I saw your "Tim Gunn" episode & then last night I saw your "I Lost It" episode. I lost 100 lbs in 2003 & you were part of my inspiration. In the past year I've been struggling again, have gained back 30 lbs. I can't keep from compulsive overeating relying just on my WW & exercise & behavior mod tools. Losing the weight didn't end these problems. So I've joined OA online and finally have some hope & relief.
Angie: Jeanne - you are at a great place in your life. Best wishes
Garf: hello...care to exchange link?if so let me know so I can add your link yo my blog.

Keep up the great work. Hope you enjoyed NOLA! Try Port of Call if you haven't already. Best burgers ever!

GRR ARGH!!!!!

  • Mood: Happy! Scared! Nervous! Excited!
  • Music: Avril - Girlfriend
  • Hunger scale: insert vomiting icon here...food? really?

Bah...I'm nervous!  It's like worse than performing!  At least with performing, it's live and you know it's over after that moment.  With tv it's like there, in your face...over and over ad infinitum   I think I'm having serious control issues.  I'm scared that because I had a mike on practically 24/7, they caught me saying something stupid like I want to be a zombie extra or I eat babies for breakfast or something.  Or that they edited it so that my women empowerment in any size comes off like fat = horrible!  skinny = fabulous! which is not me.  I guess the torment will soon be over...please be gentle with me on the commentary after you see it folks.  Like mom says, if you having nothing nice to say, just don't bother!

Here are a few teaser clips:

I suspect there will be plenty of "after" content at Bravo website as well if you are interested:

Anyway, t minus 6 hours!  Thanks so much to everyone who has read my story, followed my journey, helped to keep me going and shared parts of your struggles and successes with me.  It means so much to me to just keep on keeping on and knowing that others feel as importantly as I do that the success is in the journey as well as the destination.  We create our happy endings! We make it work!

JeAnne

I just saw the show. I have seriously looked forward to it all week. I laughed, I cried, I thought it was just SO great the whole show. You are such an inspiration. And you are BEAUTIFUL!!!! UNBELIEVABLE! You look a lot like the mom on "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle" with your hair colored. Just so adorable. GOOD JOB!! GOOD JOB!! GOOD JOB!! You also make me believe that I can be beautiful too, even if I'm never 130 lbs. or whatever.

I just happened to visit your website a few weeks before sawing you on Bravo TV. I was so surprised and kept counting the days for the show a week before it was on air. You look fabulous! You are a woman with tremendous inner strength!
