Inspirational

A friend of mine recently told me that I helped to motivate her to lose weight a few months ago. I was really touched.

Making the decision in college to lose weight was the best and hardest decision I ever made.

Losing weight is harder then going to college with 2 majors and a minor. It's harder then working as a teacher fulltime and going to graduate school at the same time. It's harder then supporting myself through all of my adult years.

It's hard it's hard it's hard. ...

I started dieting again on Friday after stepping on the scale and seeing numbers I passed a year ago. Numbers that of course were good when I was 230. But not now after being 160 for so long.

I looked at photos of me summer 2008 weighing 160 lbs in a bikini on Miami beach with my BFF and my arms were toned my thighs were firm my abs were tight and my booty was looking right.

I then looked at photos of me this summer in the same bathing suit in the Bahamas and what I saw has encouraged by those photos to get back in shape like I was last year.

I feel like I'm always talking about dieting and losing weight, but then I fall off the wagon or lose motivation.

My friend has inspired me to get back in shape.
