I have to say that I have great friends. My friends believe in me more than I do sometimes. For example, a friend of mine stop by yesterday because it had been a while since we visited. We talked about many things his unfulfilling job, my new role as a work at home mom, soap operas, and then I brought up my weight.
I probed him to give me the "skinny" so to speak on his friends. You see the girls he hangs out with are slim so you know I had to ask him how do they stay so slim. Is there a secret? He said no not really other than they're mindful of what they eat and they exercise. You know a "healthy lifestyle." Well I was looking for some dirt but apparently his other friends aren't as "dirty" as I thought. Then he mentioned to me "Erika you CAN do it. Never say never."
I thought to myself...HE thinks I can do it? Has he seen me impersonate a slug, unmotivated, discouraged, and broken? The closest way I get to a yoga class is by pulling on my yoga pants. Of which my 7 year old doesn't understand why I call them that because you have to wear yoga pants TO a yoga class and my pants have only seen the bus stop and the occasional quick trip to Wal-mart.
Here I have another friend who truly believes I can actually get to my goal weight. I'm blessed to be surrounded by people who believe in me when I don't believe in myself. Are you? If not why not? Post below.
Best.
