Since starting back to work last month, I have been touched and overwhelmed by the wonderful words of encouragement and compliments about my weight loss up to this point. Since Christmas 2011, I have lost 20 pounds. Now that's not like Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition style weight loss success, but it is a good success for me.
however, EVERYONE NEEDS VALIDATION to continue a journey.
The way my friends and coworkers have taken notice to my change in body has also helped me continue to change my lifestyle.
--I have been able to get my style mo-jo back; wearing clothes I wouldn't have dared to wear in the last two years---mainly because my pants don't create a FULL muffin top and scarves don't accentuate my triple chins.
--I have felt more confident in my self over all. Smiling more and just generally more pleased with myself and others around me.
I have felt the positive energy in my body and heart. If I quit now, I not only quit myself, but I am quitting the belief from others that what I am doing is healthy and awesome.
So, THANK YOU to all who have read my blog with me, given me a compliment on ANYTHING lately.
YOU MATTER. YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
...now go continue on your journey too (whatever that may be)
