Who Are You Doing This For Anyway?

Ok, you are on a weight loss program.  As you shed the pounds, you look in the mirror and notice that your weight loss is changing your appearance for the better.  You go to the beauty shop - no one notices your weight loss.  You go out to eat with your friends and they have the nerve not to tell you that you are looking great and they can really tell you have lost weight.  Stop, right now, and ask yourself, "Who are you doing this for anyway?"

Just make sure that you are losing weight and getting in shape for YOURSELF!  In fact, you are the one who will reap the biggest benefit.  You do not need the approval of your friends and family although it is nice to hear.  Don't let the absence of compliments that you know you deserve keep you from making progress.  They will notice in time.  In the meantime you are getting thinner and stronger.  Keep that resolve to stay with it!

You will shine from within as you shed the pounds, you will gain confidence.  You don't need approval of anyone when you know you have done your best.  Your improved health will be all the approval you will need.
