I am getting close to one of my (mini) goal weights and my trainer reminded me that it is getting close to our agreed "train the trainer" time. Our agreement was that is that when i get to my mini goal, that she would allow me to train her which is a real priviledge because she doesnt normally do that... I guess I'm special :)

I am really looking forward to my time at the health camp. For those just tuning in, I was asked last week to speak at a weight loss seminar for overweight kids and their parents. I was really touched by this, that the trainers at the wellness center would have that much confidence in me that they would make me their first choice. I was very overweight when I was growing up and suffered emotionally because of it. Now, it is my chance to give someone hope and let them know that it can be done, that they can love and believe in themselves. That they are worth something despite what some loser at school says.

Everyone wants to be loved and feel a sense of belonging but never at anytime should we allow others to determine who we are and what we become.
