Today I did some shopping for fresh vegetables and fruits and frozen blueberries as well.....
I sort if ran to the store from my car, as it was cold, clear and sunny but cold....
I saw a women looking at me, she sort of smiled then looked down and said I wish I could run like that..
She was in the same shape I use to be, I never know if I should approach people when they comment or not, I have in the past..but today I did not....It know how this women feels, it seems like a life time ago I use to wish I could run and move the way I wanted too....
As I walked around and got my veggies, I saw the women with her cart of not so healthy choices, chips cookies and soda....it made me realize that loosing weight is a choice, it takes hard work, it takes change, it takes courage...if you are like me and needed to drop over 200 pounds it takes every fiber of your being to keep going....I remember those really hard days when I would cry and cry and wonder why I was this way......being honest is what finally hit me hard.....
I could sit back and wonder how I got to 347 pounds, I use to tell myself , I hardly eat, I never eat, what is wrong with me...then I found spark people and wrote down what I was eating, it wasn't a lot but it was a lot of high calorie fast foods......well most know the rest of my story...if not check out my spark page.....

as I left the store I smiled at that same women as she checked out and she did not smile back....I can remember feeling so sad and wondering why any one would smile at me.....
Loosing weight will not solve all your problems, but for me it has made me more honest , when I step on that scale I know if I have slipped up or have stayed on track....I can lie to myself and others but I can't lie to the scale....

have a healthy week ....
