What does HONK, HONK, HONK mean?
One of our members posted a resignation to BCB. She felt she couldn't stay OP the way the others were. Many posted to her, trying to encourage her to stay... but one post stood out from all the rest. It was a post by KimR (kwannabee) and this is what she said:
"Hi Jenny! I've been where you are, and know how you feel, and
admire you caring enough about yourself and your health to
seem so upset and worried about your progress. Can I tell you a
little story, about a goose? I have about 23 amazing women I
met over the net, we've never seen each other or heard
each others voices, but almost 3 years later we are the best of
friends, and all of us are on this same journey. Our mascot, or
hero is the Goose. Why?? Because geese all travel the same
distance, make the same journey, go the same direction to
achieve the same goal, but sometimes one falls out of formation
cuz she is just 'too tired to fly any longer'. She knows where she
is supposed to go, the rest of the flock are well on their way,
but she just can't keep up. The joy of being in such a strong
formation though is that when all seems hopeless she is carried
forward by the strength of those flying around her, she is lifted
and kept in the air by the sheer wind of wings flying beside her.
When she regains her strength, she is still in formation, and on
her way again, with the never-ending support of her flock. And
when it is her turn to keep another in the air, she will remember.
On NSD or any number of other weight loss boards, if you ever
saw a post that had 'honk honk honk in it, it was one of us
Geese calling to each other. This story is for you, but i think we
can all benefit from the gift of group support, and to
YKminor...wherever you are on BCB...HONK HONK HONK!! BCB is
about staying OP, but no matter what, never give up your place in the flock!
Good luck, keep us posted!
