FollowAs I’ve mentioned a few times now, I can tell that these last couple of months I am truly committed. I am a woman on a mission. What a difference that commitment has made. The fat is melting off like I could never have imagined.
And everyone has noticed. It seems like more people are stopping me in the halls at work to talk about my weight loss than they are to ask about work. Yes, it’s a bit of a distraction. Yes, I now know who thinks I really need a new pair of pants. But that isn’t what’s bothering me. What’s bothering me is the “weight”–pun intended–that comes along with being a role model or an example.
So many of you are telling me that I am an inspiration to you. I’m having a really hard time seeing how I could be an inspiration to anyone. I still feel like such a mess. I still struggle day-to-day, hour-to-hour, minute-to-minute.
It’s left me feeling very, well, introspective today. Of course, maybe that’s what I need. A deep long look inside of myself. As I peel away the layers of fat and reveal what physically lies underneath, I’m also peeling away layers of self-doubt to reveal the confidence that I know is there. I am so very appreciative of all of you for coming along with me on this journey, and I promise that I will do my best not to let you all down.
Anna, I am so proud of you. You are an amazing woman, everyone can see it, I am so glad you are finally believing it. Jane
