Best compliment ever!
A woman at work today told me "I wanted you to know, you've inspired me". I
couldn't figure out what she was talking about. "I have?" was the best reply I could come up with. I rarely do anything worthy of inspiring others. Perhaps she too desired expired registration stickers on her car, a chipped pedicure, a bank account that would be overdrawn if I didn't make a deposit by 4pm, and dirty dishes in the sink? Then she told me that she was inspired by how great I looked, and how much weight I had lost. She said she had started getting up early 4X a week to walk with her husband in the morning, and was cutting back on carbs, and that she had lost 15 pounds already! I was floored, I can't believe I actually helped inspire somebody IRL like that. Now I CAN'T slip up, somebody is watching! LOL! Funny thing is, I posted here a few months back about the same woman. I knew she was unhappy with her weight, and wondered if I should say something about her starchy high-carb lunch choices to her. The wise asdlc consensus was to just keep doing my own thing, and she would approach me if she wanted to. Well I'll be damned! LOL!

That's great, I hope your coworker sticks with it. Looking at your pictures, I can see why seeing you morph like that would be a major inspiration to her. I think you're right, a "picture", in this case a real-life one, is worth a thousand words. HG |

I do remember you telling us about her and I'm glad you resisted saying anything, even though you wanted to. If you did, she probably wouldn have resented it to some degree. As you probably know already, we all have to find our own path to weight loss. I myself knew that low carbing would do it for a few years before I really took action to begin my own weight loss.

I'm glad to hear that both you (+ husby) and your friend are doing well. I just checked your pictures - you in your blue shirt look absolutely stunning!! You're truly 100% inspiring. |

That is so great! I'm glad for you and for her. I think seeing someone else
actually make significant progress says more than any lectures you could have given. You're doing great. Keep it up! Becky P. http://www.family.solidrockpl.org/html/my_diet_.html |
