So, my daughter Ashley reached a goal this week and it was a big deal.
A while back, she decided to lose some weight. Ashley had endured a difficult time in her early junior high years (kids can be so mean) and slipped into a pattern of helping herself to comfort food.
After two years of homeschooling and a successful transition back into high school, she set a goal to lose 20 lbs. I am so proud of her efforts. She did not starve herself or go on a trendy crash diet. Instead, she learned about metabolism and the effects of sugar on one's system. She set herself up on an exercise routine and motivated herself to lose the weight for all the right reasons.
We had a deal that when she had reached her goal I would take her to lululemon to buy an outfit. Well, the other day, with tears of joy in her eyes, she announced that she had met her goal! That very night we went shopping and this is the outfit that she chose.
Way to go, Babe! This is a Big Deal!
Be proud of what you have accomplished...I sure am. xoxo
