I have been invited by a friend (and Nebraska state Senator!) to be on a panel for a Young Women’s Leadership Forum next month. Its for teens and college girls and one of the topics selected by the teens to discuss is body image and the media.
She asked me to be a part of it because I work in the media and she said I lost my weight the healthy way.
I was honored! The panel meets October 17th and I happen to have that day off because I have to work that Saturday for football. So I told her I was in! I am guessing that I will have to bring some of my before pictures. Before I made this blog I would have told you that terrified me! Putting pictures out there of me when I was fat? No thank you! But now, after such amazing support from this community, I don’t mind at all. If I can change one person’s life, that will make it all worth it. Losing 144 pounds (that’s right, I’ve lost 2 more pounds!) has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. I just hope I can inspire others to make the same kind of changes.
So that has made for a pretty good day. I hope your days are going well too friends!
