"Wow Cindy you lost a lot of weight, are you taking diet pills?" I have been asked this so many times. Sometimes I feel like it's a compliment. Other times I feel it's an insult. Why do some people go there? Why do they go down the diet pill road? Why not the working your ass off at the gym road! I'm not going to get into diet pills and whether they are good or bad, if they work or not. I don't use and I don't want to use them. It just amazes me that so many people instantly think that's how I lost weight. There isn't a pill that can do for me what I am doing for myself. I'm working hard for my results. I have the sore muscles to prove to myself. No jitters, no unknown "natural" weight loss ingredient. Just sweat, determination, and support. Every pound I lost, I earned. The weight has been coming off slowly...but it's staying off. I want the credit! I deserve the credit.
I have learned a lot about myself through this journey. I have failed and I have succeeded. I like working hard. I like trying new things (sometimes over and over again until I get it). I like the people I have met and the friendships formed. I wouldn't change that. I remember saying to myself in the beginning 'be patient Cindy, this will take time' and it has. Being patient has definitely helped.
I still have lots to learn and lots to try and I will do it.
