The Road Ahead |
The journey to wellness is a hard journey to take and doing it alone is even harder. There is always a fork in the road with no one to guide you or show you the correct path to take. The fork could represent many things, such as the temptation of food or even the constant excuses being made up in order to not diet or exercise. It’s kind of like the angel and devil on your shoulder telling you what to do and you really don’t know what is right. I said plenty of times to myself, “Oh, I’ll start tomorrow or the next day or next day,” but never really actually begin. Being with people facing the same “forks in the road” as I am is actually a kind of a relief. There are people there with you to give you motivation and to understand what a hard journey losing weight is. Beginning the “Best Life Diet” with Marna, Cecilia, Lakita, Mary Ellen, and Veronica is very exciting to me. We all are different ages with different problems, but yet we all understand each other – we are so different, but yet the same. Doing an online journal could help not only motivate each other, and ourselves but also motivate women from all over. We could each identify with a different type of woman out there; from single working women, to married women with children, or even housewives. Knowing that there is one woman or many women out there following my journey really makes me want to work even harder in fighting the battle of weight loss. I want to show the world that if I could do it, then the world could do it too! I’m not saying that I will not run into obstacles, but at least I know that I am not alone and neither are the women that visit the site.

I can relate to everything you say Anna. I look forward to following you on your journey, because it will be my journey as well.

Hey Anna!
I admire everything your doing. You truly are an inspiration. I feel the same way, hiding out because I feel bad about how I look. I will continue to follow THE BEST LIFE plan and hope to see results.

Anna–you are such a superstar…you keep us all grounded and always have humor to lighten our mood. Giving up [sugar-filled] soda right off the bat was so brave–I salute you and look forward to watching you morph into the woman you want to be.

Anna:
You don’t know me - I am Kristen’s mom. I am very proud of what you are doing. It takes a lot to make a committment and stick to it. Kristen thinks of you as a good friend and she tells me all the time about what you are doing and the website.
You were given an opportunity to turn your life around. Stick to it, but don’t forget to have fun too! From what I can see, there are a lot of people who are rooting for you. We want to see you on T.V.!!!! Kick Butt and keep up the good work.
