She bought tread mill and weights and i've been passing her workouts and doing them with her and texting her to see how its going and she does great with the exercise but her diet is BAD (she knows how to eat and cook healthy because she has been thin her whole life) and she came out yesterday and said you know you come workout with me and I really work hard when youre here and I work out during the week but I just can't stop eating food, I dont eat for comfort I eat for taste and that her husband has bad eating habits and he is to kind to be like babe you shouldnt eat that or are you going to hit the gym today. So I kinda just said girl its not easy I eat my meals and watch everyone go back for seconds or eat something less healthy and I'm SO JEALOUS sometimes. But you just have to remember its a temporary want and you have to remember your long term goal. I also said she is going to have to sit her family and her fiance down and be like ya'll are effecting my health and I need your support to get back on track.

She messaged me today, she sat her hubby down and told him how much her health meant to her and how much she needed him to support her and she ordered P90X and she is starting a blog to hold herself accountable. Very very proud of her. And feeling quite like a boss for helping her.
Thats a wonderful feeling when you have influenced someone's life like that, its so hard when you have no support at home, I get plenty of support from Randy, Believe it or not! LOL and my kids even though they don't eat as healthy as me, although it has helped my daughter eat better, because I know if I started eating burgers and fries and unhealthy food all through the week, they would all tell me to stop and to remember my goals! anyway it may not seem people always notice but they do and makes them want to better themselves!! I Love that! Even my son told me he was gonna start eating healthier and thats a step in the right direction, even though he is as lean as can be and has a 6 pack without even trying, haha I remember thoughs days, but as we get older it takes more work!!!
