There was a pretty tough challenge at bootcamp tonight. After we were done, a woman who has been coming to class for a couple of weeks came over to me. She wanted to know how long I’d been coming to bootcamp. After I answered her, she told me that she thought I was awesome. She said that every time she felt like she just couldn’t go on she’d look over and I was just really pushing. She told me that I was an inspiration to her.

That’s not the first time I’ve heard those words. And every time I hear them, I am humbled.

I know this weight loss journey is mine. I know I need to do it for myself, I get that. But there is definitely something in knowing that people are watching me. Not to see if I succeed or fail, but to inspire them to keep trying. I don’t want to let them down.
