I was just sitting here watching Biggest Loser and the contestants made a video from their old self to the new self. I was in tears seeing the things they said to the new self and decided that I need to do the same. So, I am gonna take a minute to write a letter to the "new" Carla.
Carla,
I am so incredibly proud of everything you have accomplished for your health these last 11 months. Please don't ever let yourself go back to the way it was before. And when you feel like giving up, think about how hard it was to be 287 lbs. Think about the struggle to do simple things like getting up off the floor and walking a couple miles. Don't ever let yourself feel that way again. You want to have kids so bad, so please take care of yourself so that you will live a long life for those kids you will have. You have so much more fight that you ever thought you would. When you get to that place when you feel like you can't do anymore, find someone that loves you more than you know and let them lift you up. Think about how great it felt to run your first 5K, or finally slip into a size that you hadn't been in over 10 years. Most importantly, never let that drive and determination die out. You are a fighter!! You got this girl!!
