in Motivation and Support
Dear Friend, Enemy, Stranger:

Today, I logged into MFP only to find that you were having a tough time. Today just wasn't your day, and you felt the world crushing down on you as you contemplated weight loss suicide. You were either stressed out from work, school, home, depressed for your own personal reasons, or just felt like it wasn't worth it to keep up the work you've done so far.

Today, my heart was broken by the cries of frustration, the burdens that you carry too much to bear. You wanted to give up, losing sight of your end goal as it slipped away.

Today, you believed you would never lose the weight.

To the person this letter addresses, I want you to know that, when the whole world stands against you, I promise to stand by you. I promise to pull you over that ledge on the difficult climb to success. I promise my unconditional love, support, and friendship through your tough times, and through your best times. I promise that if you call, I will answer. And when you've lost faith in yourself, I'll be there, covering for you, and letting you know I still have faith in you.

My friend, enemy, or stranger, you are not alone, for I am by your side, no matter what.

Sincerely,
Me.

This letter goes out to anyone who is having a hard time in their weight loss and needs motivation or support to continue on. If you ever need words of encouragement, feel free to drop me a message. I'm here for you, always, whether I know you or not.

    Hehe, I may try bumping it every week instead. ;) Every word in that is true, though. I'm here, even when it seems no one else is. :)
