in Motivation and Support
So I had this idea. Maybe it will catch on.
What if a lot of people just post general benefits of the healthy lifestyle?
Be it.. feelings after exercise, adding another hole to your belt, the fresh taste of avocado, peeing clear(strange, but still a great feeling), no longer needing medications..

And you can just look through, to be reminded of why we all keep going, keep supporting eachother, and turned our lives around.

Mine to start: My manager having to place another order of medium shirts for the summer being as though I'm swimming in all my XLs (:

    - Becoming stronger
    - Telling a man I can bench press more than him and proving it (may be mean, but it's an ego boost)
    - Almost no Asthma flare ups in over three years. (Give or take an allergy season)
    - NO back pain
    - Blood sugar balanced to the point of no longer needing medication.
    - I actually prefer water over any other drink option.
