I ran into a neighbor of mine the other day at the grocery store. I live in a very rural area, so my neighbors actually live quite a few miles away from me, so I don't see them on a frequent basis. Summers, when I'm out on my long walks, I'll meet up with Helen and we'll catch up and chat, but during the long dark snowy winter months everyone hibernates a bit.

SO ANYWAY... I was at the grocery store, and see this VERY skinny person that looks an awful lot like Helen. I go over, and sure as heck, it's Helen. 70 pounds lighter. She looks terrific. I ask her what she did, and she said -
WEIGHT WATCHERS!!

Hoo-Wah! I told her I started WW a few weeks ago, am down 10 pounds, and looking forward to keeping up with Helen on our walks this summer! How great is that...and now, if I get frustrated, or need support, I've got "Slim" just down the road!

Great that you've got that support - but what a fantastic friend You are! You have real generosity of spirit!

That is amazing!! It is so nice when you see a friend succeed! =]
