Inspiration

One of the most amazing aspects of my weightloss has been when people say that I inspire them. How crazy is that?!? It's definitely a "who'd have thunk that?!" moment for me. It also makes me do happy to hear that, by taking control of my life, I may be helping encourage others to do the same. I never understood why my sister was always so set on me getting healthy. I am beginning to understand, it's addictive - the endorphins, the feeling great about myself and my body. It's definitely something that I want to share with others. A few weeks ago one of my teachers called me out in class, highlighting my progress. She asked how much I has lost (45 pounds at that point). Little did I know at the time but there was another girl in class that was floored by that number. Today she approached me and shared that that was her inspiration to join weight watchers and make the commitment to get rid of those few extra pounds that she always has wanted to shed. She's lost 10 pounds in less than 2 months! It's just astounding and flattering to hear people say that my progress impacts them like that. Ana told me a while ago "learn it, do it, teach it". First I hope to stay dedicated to my healthy lifestyle but I'd also love to help others. If I can do it, anyone can!
