Cross Posted at Losing Inspiration
I have found so much support since I started this journey. I have tried many times in the past to lose weight and have failed so many times. This is the first time I have ever tried doing it so publicly. Blogging is new to me and reaching out is new to me as well. I have always been a bit of a loner. I knew that I needed to reach out for support, besides to my own family, and knew that I needed to be accountable for my actions. I am being accountable by blogging. You guys know exactly where I am in my journey and by not moving forward, or cheating, or slacking off, etc… I am not only letting myself down, but you too in some way. The reason I am saying all this is because I care about you and have learned over the last few weeks, that you guys care about what happens to me too. I thought I was alone, and now I have so much support. The support can come in many forms, a response to a comment that I left, a comment about a post I made, or a e-mail to me about something, but tonight I received a comment from Teresa at Mama Wants a Six Pack expressing concern about how little I have eaten the last two days. I was touched by this because it really proves to me that we are looking out for each other and not just writing aimlessly to who may read what we write. I clearly have eaten to little the last two days, and even though I felt I wasn’t hungry, I knew that I should have eaten more so that my body doesn’t go into survival mode. Thank you Teresa for your concern, you have touched me in a huge way, even though to others it may seem minor. I look try to give inspiration to those in need and look for it where ever I can, and you have provided just what I needed today. You showed me that there is more to this than just typing, it’s personal.
Thank You!
Enjoy the Journey!
