I could not do this weight loss journey without the support of friends. I think of my friend, Megan, who was working with me a while back at a church breakfast, serving trays and trays of donuts.... I was putting those things on trays...smelling them...and thinking...what if I just have a half?
I shouldn't do it. I don't need one.
Do I even want one? Well....no...maybe?
Megan said to me, "You aren't going to eat one, are you?" The way she said it told me she was already convinced that I was not going to have even one bite of one of those darn donuts...she knew how hard I was working, and it seemed that she knew I had the strength to walk away from them.
Here's the deal, though; that little comment gave me the extra boost that I really needed at that moment. She had confidence in me...maybe more than I had in myself. It made it easier to walk away from those donuts.
She was completely genuine...she believed in me...she was just caring...just because it's who she is.
I have heard her words in my head a number of times since then...at times when I needed to hear them. Her effortless words have made such a difference to me! (Thanks, Megan!)
What kind words have you heard today to boost your spirit or give you strength? What support have you offered to a friend?
