Question Who inspires you?

Not even necessarily for your weightloss. Just in life, in general. Who do you look to for a reason to push on, and succeed? Who do you aspire to be like?

For me, it's my Mom. She's always been my hero. For the sacrafices she made all her life for her family, never complaining. She is the epitomy of grace and beauty, on the inside and out.

Your turn.....opcorn:

My dearest friend Kathy. Always had a warm welcoming smile, even in the midst of terrible pain. She was wise in things that mattered, and smooth in things that didn't. While she wasn't perfect, she sure was close! very pretty, best cook I've known, and excelled in everything from raising her children, to dog agility and even showing horses! I like her for her knowledge of scriptures and adhering to it in her every day life.

I'm happy to say she's gone home to be with the Lord.

My older sister. She has been through so much in her life. She is a recovering drug addict and i commend her so much for getting help. Now she is 4 years clean and had 5month old twins. She is the best mom out there. Being 22 years old and having twins is hard. She lives 2 hours away. She named my niece after me. She is just so amazing and always has the will to keep going. She is very blunt and to the point, but thats what makes her so great. We are only 2 years apart, but when we were younger our worlds couldnt have been any more different.

Thank you carinna. She is the main reason i stayed away form that stuff when i was in highschool because i say how horrible it was. I wrote a 12 page essay on her in school and the teacher (4 years later) keeps it as an example for her students to read

Definitely my mom, in general and for weight loss. She is the hardest working woman I have ever seen in my life. She was working right next to my dad for about 26 years on a dairy. She has really been the glue to hold my family together since my father died two and a half years ago. She also took care of him while he was sick, which was not an easy task. After he died, she had a gastric bypass and lost 170 pounds and has kept it off.
