A letter from August 2nd, 2022

Dear FutureMe, You started your weight loss journey again the last week of July 2022. We’ve had so many day ones at this point I have lost track, but this time IS different. You aren’t going to restrict what you eat. You aren’t going to shame yourself for eating one bad meal or skipping one walk. If you don’t want to do it then don’t, but also remember why we started this journey this time. I bet you had the best summer with Mari. Y’all went to six flags and water parks, you fit on the rides and you weren’t self conscious in a bathing suit. Yesterday, I chose to take a walk instead of going upstairs to lay down. We walked around the neighborhood and Mari had so much fun and wants to walk again today after school. Whether you lost the weight or you didn’t, just know we are proud!!! If you didn’t accomplish what you thought, here is your motivation to start again. We will start again and again and again until we do it because YOU CAN DO THIS! I believe in you.
