Someone was inspired...
by me actually. I went to pick up my son from after school care, only to find that my husband had already got him. His teacher said hello and told me he was gone. As she did she made the comment of how much weight I had lost, and that I was looking good. She asked me over and wanted to know what I was doing to lose so much. I told her that I made a life style change after I hit rock bottom. I did it for me, myself, and I. I just explained my exercise routine, my eating habits, etc. The most important thing I guess, was that I told her I needed this for myself, and that I wanted to love myself again. I wanted to be healthy, happy, and to be free of the control that obesity had over me. Then I explained to her that without this site and the wonderful support group that I have with all of you that I probably would not have made it this far. I really hope she joins up.
She told me that she felt so inspired after our conversation that she had made her decision to go for it and do something about her weight. I can't begin to tell you how overwhelming this was for me. I actually helped someone with their weight, something I have struggled with for so long. Then like a slap in the face I realized that yes, I am still overweight, but I am becoming the success story now. Ones like I have read over many times before, and always wished it was me. It's actually happening, it's my turn!
I am so on cloud nine, 10 in fact. My emotions are running high, I don't know whether to cry, laugh, or smile. I just know it felt good for a change for someone to complement me and to look at me as their inspiration. This makes me want to reach my goal even harder.
Thanks again to all my EP friends for being there. You guys have really set the foundation for my success so far. I love you all.
