I love it when someone I know has lost a considerable amount of weight. Number one, it just feels good to see them because they feel better, more confident, and usually love it when people notice their accomplishment. I also really like seeing this happen to someone I know because it motivates me. Seeing everyday people lose weight successfully is so much more believable than seeing celebrities do it. Celebrities can pay for a physical trainer and someone to fix all the meals so they are delicious and nutritious. For us normal folk, it is a little more difficult...a little more real.
Last year we had a Biggest Loser contest at my school. Along with the contest came healthy meal ideas and even exercise classes after school. I think the contest inspired some of our teachers to change some of their habits. Now that the contest is over (and has been for 6 months) it is inspiring to see some of these people just melting away. I read their posts on Facebook and "see" all the effort they are putting into getting healthy. It makes me so proud and happy for them! Plus, it tells me that I can do it too! Love that!
Who inspires you? Who moves you to move?
