To all the regular lurkers that help with motivation...

hewwokitty

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU. You have no idea how much the MFP regulars keep my going.

I grew up pretty crappy. I was never actually considered 'over weight'. But still I've always hated my body (a big thanks to my childhood environment). At one point I was in the hospital for Anorexia because I thought that was the way to like myself. I've learned to move on from my childhood emotionally first, then when I joined here I'm learning to move on physically.
I was always pretty weak. I always thought I weight 10-15lbs too much. And I tend to get my motivation down to a low level. But you guys, geez. Without you guys I could never learn to love myself. Everytime I start feeling stronger, it's a huge confidence boost. Everytime I sweat while I'm working out, I think about how it's going to bring me closer to my career as a paid fire woman. And everytime I need a kick in the butt, I come here.
Whether you're helping me, or anyone else, you're effecting their entire future. Maybe I'll end up saving more lives with my journey to a stronger, leaner me.
I'm just at the beginning of my journey, but my stanima, strength, and confidence has improved. I love MFP and the people who make the community.
So if you read this, and you're one of the people out there to help, THANK YOU SO MUCH! :drinker:
