Support is so important in anything we do. And weight loss is no different. I am thrilled to have support from people in my life, both on-line and off.
There are so many days I want to throw in the towel and someone at work will ask me how my weight loss is going, or better yet, compliment me on my progress…and I redouble my commitment to eat right and exercise. I even had a co-worker mention yesterday that some of my clothes are starting to hang on me!!! Wheee!
I have friends I text often, they tell me how they are doing and I report in. I love hearing back from them. My cousin, though far away, is a key encouragement. I would not be sticking with it without her. I love hearing her pride in phone calls or reading it in texts. Love it!
The on-line support is phenomenal. The biggest one is Alicia and her Weight Loss Wednesday blog hop. I know each Wednesday I am going to be checking in and getting some great encouragement (make sure to check out this week’s–it is one of her absolute best!!). And Alicia checks in on my on other days too. It means so much to get a tweet from her. You really should jump on the #wlwed hashtag if you are on a weight loss journey.
I recently found another wonderful blog, 33 and Counting. She is on a great journey to get healthier. Her tweets, @dacialee33, are great and challenging.
This weight loss journey has been fun and challenging. I had a little gain this week, but it didn’t discourage me and I just see a greater loss for next week . Soon, hopefully next week, I will be 33% to my goal weight…and now that i have put that in writing, I sure better eat and exercise right!!!
What can you do today to get the support you need in your life, be it weight loss, exercise, pursing a passion of yours, discovering how precious you are? I would love to hear about it.
Survive til you Thrive!
