Dear Lady that Ran Past By Me That Day,

I don't know your name, I hardly remember your face. I remember you had dark blond hair and some dark navy blue shorts. I also remember the stretch marks I saw as you ran past by me on that hike, as if you've done it 100 times. I imagine you might have, considering how much those shorts barely hung on you. I could tell that those shorts were at their tightest and if you lose anymore weight, you'll need new shorts. I can tell by your stretch marks on your back that you've lost a lot. I was getting really winded on that hike. It was the 2nd time I've ever in recent memory climbed that hill. But you just reminded me why I'm there. I got my second wind but I knew I was never going to catch up to you that day. I got to wave hello to you when you came down the hill and I saw the rest of your stretch marks. Every one of those seemed like a battle scar to me and to me, you are the victor. You fought the hardest enemy in the world, yourself, and you have won enough battles and I feel that you will win that war. Thank you for doing your victory lap around me, maybe one day I'll join you.

Thanks, You're my encouragement to prove that it can be done and it will be done.

    I really enjoyed reading your post, especially liked your comment," you fought the hardest enemy in the world yourself'. As they say we can be our worst enemies especially when it comes to weight loss. thanks for the inspiration. I think I'll add this comment to my board and read it everyday so I can remind myself to fight the enemy that I allowed to come into my life. Thanks :)

    Good luck!
