Support is everything |
So, this weekend was really cool. As the other ladies have already states we had the opportunity to meet with Janis and discuss just about any and all nutrition questions we had. She is very patient and understanding. We also spoke briefly with Bob Greene. It appears as though my biggest challenge would be fitting in additional exercise. I haven’t decided how to finagle it, but I guess you have to do what you have to do.
It has been stated that those who lose weight I a group tend to lose more weight than those who try it alone. That has definitely been true for myself. I am now consistently seeing a change in my clothes and the way they fit. I know that the progress I have seen is due in large part to my “sisters in the struggle”. They are there to provide support and encouragement to me when I most need it. They understand my weakness to chocolate (really most desserts) and have helped me find alternatives. When I am fading at the gym, they urge me to continue and remind me why we are there. We all are very different, but in many ways the same. I ame truly blessed to have happened upon such a great group of ladies.
When we are not together, it has really been helpful for me to read the other ladies postings. From Cece’s determination and strong will to quit smoking to Marna’s simple sensibilities… I can truly say that I am drawing from each of their strengths and wisdom to help me reach my goal. I know that I am only beginning on a life long journey to be fit and healthy. It feels great to have my friends there with me all the way.
