Hello All! Well, I've well established that I haven't been able to show you a journey of weigh loss and keeping it off. One day...though...hopefully soon. Anyway, I wanted to introduce you to Heather. We grew up on the same island in Alaska. Heather's a couple of years younger than me, so I didn't really know her that well. If the truth be told, if you weren't partyi. ng every weekend or on a team I was on, I probably didn't know you real well. I do remember Heather as being quiet and a sweet girl, though. Anyhoo, I was friend's with her bff, Joy. Joy ended up going to college in the city I lived, and Heather ended up moving down (down south as us Alaskan's refer to it) to live with Joy. I think she went to school, too. Anyway, it was at this time that I got to know to Heather. Let me tell you something, you couldn't have known two better friends. Joy and Heather were truly two peas in a pod. They both have gigantic hearts. Truly, you'd be hard pressed to meet better people. I could go on and on about how sweet she is, and giving, and how she's overcome unthinkable loss that nobody should ever, ever have to...but I still wouldn't be doing her justice. Quite simply, she's a very fine person. Okay, I digress. Heather recently posted on Facebook about her weight loss journey and added these pictures. I don't think the Seahawks picture was in it, but I lifted it anyway. Go Hawks! This is her seven year journey, although the weight has been off for quite a while now. She shows you that it's possible. In spite of all that life can throw at you, the reasons why you can't (as I know all too well), blah, blah, blah...YOU CAN DO IT. You can feel good about yourself. When I asked Heather if I could show her pictures, I didn't ask about how she did it. We all have our journey that we think works for us. We know we need to burn more calories than we take in. I believe in a vegan diet, but that's by no means the only way to do it. You've (we've) just got to keep at it. We need to believe that we are worth it. You are worth it. Heather is worth it. I hope she inspires you, as she has me.
Much Love,
Jen
