Hero?

Thoughts for the Week…
I’ve had a
difficult time the last couple of weeks getting myself to write my blog. I’m
bored with the format of Week ___, and have decided to go with titles to match
my thoughts. Isn’t there a saying about when you feel your life is out of
control, change the furniture around because that is something you can control?
Maybe I just made that up. At any rate…I’m not changing furniture around, just
the blog!
The day before
Thanksgiving has always been a non-student day at school and teachers
participate in wellness activities as part of our School Improvement Plan. I
was asked this year to do a 45-minute session on healthy eating and my journey
of losing weight. Three days before I have to give this presentation I start
having a panic attack. Talking to other people about healthy eating is SO far
out of my comfort zone! I just simply shared my food journal, how I track my
food in my food journal and what I believe has truly helped me throughout the
past 9 months. There were several times I thought I was going to cry. It was
very emotional for me and I can’t quite figure out why.
On
the Monday after Thanksgiving, a colleague walked in my classroom and put a
small gift bag on my desk. She simply said, “I’ll explain later.” This is the
email I received from her…
I am so proud of you and your accomplishments. I know that you
are the inspiration I need to meet my goals and I truly appreciate the
opportunity to listen and learn from you. I've been on this dieting
roller coaster and last week I heard hope from you.
So, enjoy this gift.....because you earned it and it is your birthday
soon. CELEBRATE, my HERO, because I have much GRATITUDE for all that you
have done and will do to help me.
Needless
to say, I shed a few tears! One of my goals to my own weight loss journey is to
help other people with their weight loss journey. I guess I’m on my way!
