NSV "Inspiration"

Slimithy

I send out occasional emails to some of my officemates/workout buddies letting them know my progress. All of them are much smaller than me but they were instrumental in geting me started on the weight less journey by working out with me and being very positive, so I like to keep them informed of the actual numbers on occasion. Well this morning I let them know I I hit a milestone. I received multiple emails of congratulations, but most suprising I received emails saying I was inspiring THEM to get back into the gym and focus their efforts. One of them had a baby a few months ago and refrenced seeing my success and knowing she needed to work off her baby weight. Another said she was speaking with a friend the other day and bragged on me (to someone I don't even know!!). This is new and uncharted territory for me here, actually inspiring others to be healthy. I mean, really? I've never been that guy before. It felt awesome to read those emails. Thanks to all those on MFP who inspire me as well!! You guys all ROCK!!

It just goes to show that it really only does take one person doing the right thing and improving themselves to start a chain reaction in those that surround them!

There is the saying, "Be the change you want to see in the world." You have become the change that other people want to see in themselves!
