Reaping Rewards

Now Playing : "Maria" - Oscar Peterson Trio

(This is NOT a brag post)

I've received a lot of compliments from family and friends about how I've lost weight and how much better I look now and even encouragement such as "keep it up!"

But today, one of my best friends gave me the best compliment thus far. He came up to me and announced out of the blue that "he lost 1 kg and said THANK YOU for showing him what rewards motivation can bring and my results have motivated him into trying to lose weight and get fit again".

I'm really not used to getting compliments and usually feel really shy when I do, but when he said that I felt not only flattered but I felt SO PROUD that I was able to help people who want to change, start. In all of our 11 years of friendship, we have gone on countless weight loss attempts, all failed and last year we both threw in the towel and gave up (He's a tall, big guy as opposed to short, pudgy me :P). Well now I'm really glad that I decided to give it one last try. Who knew that I was going to help the both of us!

Thanks for listening, I couldn't wait to share it with everyone!
