I've mentioned in the past that I had lost 45 pounds over a period of about a year between the middle of 2007 and the middle of 2008. I used my relationship with someone as inspiration. Since then I had gained back about 17 of those pounds. i had also gotten into bad eating habits, self pity and lots of other bad stuff.
This was pretty predictable considering the bad place I had been over the last year or so. Well, i'm inspired again, partly due to someone i've become very close to over the past month or so. I'm not talking about romance. What i'm talking about is a friendship, one that goes beyong the ordinary.
This woman has shown so much love for me and is willing take time from her busy life to be my mentor, and much more. As was true during the period when I lost all that weight, became more fit and happy, this person is helping me move forward and pursue my dreams.
I met her on SG about a year ago. She reached out to me out of the blue and has been a constant source of positive reinforcement and support. Again, this is not, nor will it ever become a romantic relationship. What it has become is an extraordinary bond between us. That someone would dedicate so much time and attenton to me despite so many things going on in her everyday life is mind-boggling.
She probably wouldn't care if I mentioned her name, especially since she's not on SG anymore, but i'd rather not do it at this time. All i'll say is that she has shown me that she's willing to go the extra mile for me. i'm back on track toward living a good and happy life thanks to her inspiration.
In a short time, i've already lost back 8 pounds and can feel the difference. I plan to rejoin the gym by the end of the year since i'll be able to afford it again. I'm eating healthy, excercizing and have begun pursuing things i've wanted to get involved in again after over a year of abstinence.
Believe me, I have good reason to trust this person. I'm ecstatic at my recent good fortune. A friend like this is a once in a lifetime find. i'm overjoyed.
Of course this doesn't mean that i don't love my other friends here and don't feel close to them as well. I never want any of you to forget that. You've all been with me through thick and thin,, mostly thin recently. I could never have made it to this point without you. I'm thrilled that I can share some good feelings with all of you for a change. I hope that trend continues.

I know that feeling of losing/regaining weight. Good luck with it and your friendship.
