I was going to be judgy...

Options
Yesterday as I was reading through the challenge section, I came across a person who stated she was 5’7 weighed about 135 lbs and had a goal to get to about 133 by the end of the month. My first instinct, shame on me, was to say “are you kidding me?” Then I realized that someone out there may see me, someone who wants to lose 15 lbs, the same way. I have no right to judge anyone!! We are all on this journey for a reason. And some like me have been in it every single year of his or her life since They were first called fat. For me it was a gym teacher in the 8th grade. Ironically, I weighed in the 130s at that time. So I promise not to judge, but to encourage you all on your journeys.

    We are all on our own journey non are exactly the same but some similar , we should never compare ourselves just provide support that is the key for me.

    5'7" 133 is 20.8 BMI, right about at the center of her healthy weight.
