    These are fun!

    About a week ago, I was an hour into an 8 mile run when a stranger biked past me & turned his head to tell me "You are fast!" I was a little surprised, because it's a popular path with many faster runners than myself, but it gave me an extra push on my way home. I think of that every time I come to that spot in my route, it makes me feel accomplished & inspired to do better!

    When my children hug me and then say "Mom you really HAVE lost weight".
    Love them.:heart:

    One of my good friends is always so nice when commenting about my weight loss, making sure to mention that I've worked really hard for it, that it understandably hasn't been the world's smoothest or easiest process, but that I'm doing very well and it totally shows. I appreciate it when people take the time out to acknowledge that I didn't just wake up 95 pounds lighter, considering I've been working my butt off!

    I first thought it was 'Oh My God! I'm soooo sorry I didn't say hello to you - I didn't recognise you because you've lost sooo much weight! You look great!'.

    The it was 'Who is this foxy lady? And she's coming to meet me!' on Friday.


    but then, the best of all;

    'You're an amazing person and I think you're fantastic and like you a lot, that's why I love spending time with you'

    [awkward 'friends just crossed the point of nearly admitting they [i]really[/i] like each other' hug]

    'Let's go back inside and have another drink'.

    I love reading these.

    I'm going to have to agree that when people want to know what I'm doing, or I motivate them to eat better and workout, when someone tells me I'm inspiration...it makes me so happy and realize I've made a lot of progress.

    It pushes me to keep up what I'm doing. Especially knowing I'm doing it the right way. No special pills, cleansing, or fasting here.
