Support system

I can not begin to tell you how important my support group has been. I have had Beth through this whole journey and we have encouraged and supported each other the whole way. You also need your friends and family supporting you. Tell those close to you that you are trying to lose weight and that any support and encouragement would be highly appreciated. A true friend will support you and be happy for your success. People will talk. That is what some people do but be proud of yourself and what you have accomplished. They are just envious of what you have achieved.

When I went to pay for my RMR test, I found out that my wonderful friend Kenzie paid for it as a thank you for all I have done to help her. I have worked with her over the past few months and helped her lose 25lbs. Not only did I help her but she has helped me realize how much I love helping people with fitness. I realized because of her, how great it feels to be a part of someone's weight loss journey.

My friend Jessica has also been such a great support system. One of my goals was to buy a new pair of Seven Jeans as a reward to myself for hitting my goal weight. Once I hit my goal weight, I kept putting off buying the Jeans for fianial reasons. One night Jessica handed me a card which explained how proud of me she was and a check to go buy a pair of Jeans. Totally unnecessary but such a wondeful unselfish thing to do.

I know any day that I feel weak, I can go to my support system and they will lift me back up. I love all my friends who have been supporters and I could not have done it without you! I know you know who you all are!
