Live and Learn!
You may or may not remember me ranting a while back on a “lunch friend’ I have that I used to work with – I supported ALL her efforts at weight loss and was her biggest cheerleader over every pound she lost. However, when it’s MY turn, even 35 lbs. down, she’s “oh so you’re really going to do it this time, eh?” in a snotty snotty voice! I did NOT think that was cool. And then proceeded to talk about HER life, HER hubby, etc., and completely cut me off. PS I’m not the ‘wallflower’ type, I have a strong personality and like to talk so that took SOME doing!
So yesterday, another woman I used to work with and got along with really really well, came into the office after not seeing us all for about 2 months -- She’s tall and thin and gorgeous and worked with a trainer last year to get super sculpted and fit, she’s amazing looking – she takes me aside and says “you’ve been losing weight girile, what have you been doing?” and she talked to me about weight and food and exercise for OVER an hour and said if I needed any tips on exercise form, or a walk buddy, I could always call her! She said I was looking great and that I’m on the right track. It was very motivational and inspiring!
SO, my lesson learned is that sometimes the people you least expect can disappoint you, but at the same time, sometimes the people you least suspect can be awesome!
