Family Support

This morning I went to visit my mother who is up for the entire week to tend my sister's children. While we were preparing lunch, she made sure to have fresh turkey that we just cooked in our oven, lots of leafy greens, and some other healthy things for our turkey wraps. She inquired how my diet was going, and she remained mindful of my goal for weight loss.

When it comes to personal projects like these that take weeks and weeks to accomplish, it really is help like this that keeps a person going. The little things like my finacee telling me how proud she is that I'm losing weight, and my mother changing what she might eat normally to what I woud typically eat as lunch. It makes a person feel like they are doing this goal for them, too. Like the weight loss is somehow benefitting others as well.

And this is what truely keeps a person going. It's not the Wii Fit saying you've dropped another pound, but the ones you love validating your efforts.
