So Motivating

Yesterday I received the most touching and amazing text from a friend that I went to Uni with. Unfortunately we lost contact ( I was rubbish at keeping in contact with people, but not anymore) and she said the most touching things that really meant alot to me:

Hi Katherine, it's Aimee. How are you? I just followed your link from Facebook to check out your blog. I knew about it before now but couldn't face it as am not/haven't been in the right frame of mind to do anything about my own weight problems which are of course the same as they have always been... However I looked and you write with such candour and honesty that it was positive to read and made me think maybe I should deal with my own issues. So if that is part of your aim, to inspire other people - well then you have! I hope you're doing alright other than that.  Sorry if my text is a bit full-on! Just felt you might like to see that people ARE following your progress and ARE behind you in what you're doing xx

I am so glad that a) I am getting so much support from people and b) I am able to help others even a little bit. A few other people have said to me that they really enjoy reading my blog and it makes me really pleased. I know how many demons there are when you are trying to lose weight, how alone you can feel and how much of an idiot you can feel as well e.g today I am buying scales to measure out my portion sizes of cereal and food in the office...crazy but necessary I hope that if anyone else is reading this you are finding it helpful or taking anything you need from it and I know that we will succeed in being who we want to be the size we want to be!!!!
