Last night I decided to "put myself out there" and post my Meltdown results thus far on FB! I could feel beads of sweatform as I started. So far only my family and a few friends knew how serious I was about it. Putting it out for everyone that Lori, once again, was trying to lose weight was going to be either brave or a not so smart move. Turns out it was a smart move! I'm amazed at the amount of support. Not only that, I know if you have a goal in mind you need to share it with those that are supportive friends. In. My circle of amazing work friends we call those your "balcony" people. They raise you up, support your goals, cheer you on! As opposed to basement people....you know the ones...you say what your gonna do or a goal you'd like to achieve and they tell you how hard it will be, how many others have tried and failed, etc. They drag you down to the basement instead of raising you up like a good friend should! I wish for all of you to be surrounded by many "balcony" people and separate yourself from those basement folki. If you know you have great Balcony friends in your life, share with them. It allows them to cheer you on, it puts a bit more pressure on you to succeed and you'll be surrounded by good, positive talk. Some of us have a hard time separating ourselves from those basement folks, cuz damn if we aren't related to them and have contact with them often. More of a reason to reach out! Meltdown buddies you all are my balcony people!! Thanks and love ya!
Lori
