I had a fun girl's day with my friend Tera today. We had a delicious yet healthy lunch and an afternoon of strolling around window shopping. Nothing like some retail cardio! We didn't buy anything, five hundred for a dress....oh no, but it was fun to look anyway.
Tera inspires me because she's lost a bunch of weight and looks GREAT! When you're fighting this fight, it's nice to have people around you who you can go to lunch with and not feel like the only one eating a salad. We were took a break to have some frozen yogurt and fruit and do a little people watching while chatting about the weight loss journey we'd both been on.
"Oh let me show you my old license!" said Tera, handing over her driver's license. I looked down at the picture and was marveled at how far she'd come.
So of course I had to drag my license out too. "That doesn't even LOOK like you!" she said, and it did my heart a world of good!
My advice, which I give shamelessly on this blog, is that if you're trying to lose weight, meet a goal, or accomplish anything, it's so important to surround yourself with people who are doing the same. It's been amazing to me this time around in the weight loss game, what blessings come back when you open yourself up to people and let them know about your goals. I said it in the beginning and will say it again now: if you want to make things happen - whether it is with weight loss or any worthy pursuit - put yourself out there, tell everyone you know, and you will be pleasantly surprised at the results.
