Ok, for those of you that have seen my past few posts on here about my goal wanting to be met by September 2nd, for it's when I'll see my 'crush' again - it's totally on now! If you have any kind of encouragement to send me, private message it to me or whatever, I am going to need it. Either that or I'll read it here in posts, but I don't think what happened to me yesterday was a coincidence...
My parents, brother, his fiance and I drove 300 miles away to see my mother's hometown high school baseball team play in their last game before the state tournament (by the way, they won - Yea Wildcats!)...I was completely psyched that they won. So after the game, we all went to the local mall because it had been so hot at the game. I told my mom how weird it was that all day long we hadn't run into anybody that we knew because we spent the first 8 years of my life in the city and some of my dad's family still lives there and my dad knew alot of people there anyway. So we're about to walk out of the store we parked in front of at the mall, and my mom goes over to the guy's clothes section for some odd reason. I kid you not, and I would never imagine in a million years something like what happened would happen to me, but I look up, and lo and behold, guess who is coming toward us in the opposite direction!??! The guy I have been talking about on the message board that I've had the crush on for the past 6 years! I just walked up to him and said, "Hey! I know you!" and he says, "Oh my god, what are you guys doing here?! I would have never recognized you, you look so different!" Needless to say, that was the ultimate motivator for me to try to knock this last 30-40 pounds by September 2nd
