It's lunch time here at work and like most days I ventured to the cafeteria. As I made my rounds to see what the options were I was stopped by one lady who remarked "You've REALLY lost a lot of weight." I smiled and said thank you and we parted. At that point I decided lunch would be the greek beef wrap and a side of tater tots. So, I strolled back to the deli station to wait in line where I ran into a guy I saw in the fitness center last evening. After the usual hello, how are you exchange, he said "You've really trimmed down." Again, I smiled and said thank you. He went on to tell me it's great to see me in the fitness center. I smiled. My turn up at the deli. Greeted the lady working and ordered my wrap. She commented about how good I look and what a great job I'm doing then asked if I wanted any sides. I told her while I had planned on grabbing tater tots I would instead take a side of cucumber and tomatoes. We joked about me keeping it light and staying away from the grease. Then, the highlight for me....the guy in line behind me said I inspired him to skip the tater tots too. :happy: I'm holding on to this smile the rest of the day.

Happy Thursday everyone!

    Great NSV, I love it! Keep up the good work.

    And you're passing along the smart decisions to others, even better! If all of us made one good decision today and it caused one other person to make a good decision and so on, think we could stop the obesity epidemic? :) Food for thought (pardon the pun)

    Also, your workplace sounds like a really positive environment!

    That is fantastic!! All those compliments helped you to make a GOOD decision for you...and you, without even realizing it, helping someone else to make a good choice.

    GREAT NSVs!!!!
