Hi Abby and Paige,
ReplyDeleteI have a few things to mention and since I have no idea how to access my facebook page I'll put them here.
Frist: Paige, I first met you at 5W5K in July. What you have accomplished so far shows. Aside from the basic weight loss you look more confident and happy, and being happy with yourself is the only true way to improve every other aspect of ones life. It happens thru what I call the waterfall effect, you like you better and it effects every other aspect of your life, from you own self confidence to your relationships with everyone else. That said I need to pass onwhat someone else once told me; when you are late, or blow me off all together, it says that you believe that your time is more valuable than mine. Its like when your at any sort of appointment, like a Dr. office, and you aren't seen until well after your appointment time, you know they have that attitude. Its annoying, disrespectful, and even hurtfull. I know I don't like it when it happens to me and I try to keep others from feeling that about me. Next, and Abby didn't, and probably wouldn't say this, but, this is her livlihood, when you skip a class, thats actually taking money out of her pocket. She is giving you something that has a cash value. (I know, Ive paid for the classes I've taken, and it's the best physical and mental money I've spent, probably in my entire life). I, end I'm sure everyone else who knows you are pulling for you, we've seen you progress, and want to see continue.
Now Abby; You have encouraged me, and helped me more than you realize. And no, I havent noticed a change for the worse/meaner in your dealings with me, or our MTP group. Theres something I've learned (the hard way, like most of my lifes lessons). I learned this fron Bill W (12 years)., when you are helping someone, its really up to them, if they succeed, its thier success, the credit you get is what they credit you with and by the same token, when they fail, its not your failure. It all comes from inside, that person has to want to accomplish whatever goal we are talking about, and then make themselves follow thier trainers (or sponsors, or teachers, or,or,or) advice/instructions. Its OK to take satisfaction in thier success, or to feel sad obout thier failures, but its 100% on them either way. I am not as good at the written word as it sounds in my head, but those are my thoughts (and where the heck is spell check on this thing?)
