From Not to Hot!
“From not to hot” was the phrase MEDICO6 used when adding me as a friend yesterday. I laughed when I read it. I have heard a lot of comments from people viewing my before and after photos, but I had never had it put quite this way.
So, I got to thinking about it…not about the HOT part! About the NOT part!
I am NOT confined to a table anymore. I can fit with ease in a booth.
I am NOT desperate for attention anymore.
I am NOT a people pleaser anymore.
I am NOT as nice as I used to be!
I am NOT afraid to go…well…anywhere!
I was NOT afraid to send my story into the magazines to consider for publication.
I am NOT afraid to follow my heart.
I am NOT afraid of rejection based on my size….or anything else for that matter!
The choices I make are NOT directed by my size.
I am NOT a 256 pound couch potato!
I do NOT hesitate to find a gym anywhere I go.
MEDIC06 was right. I was a NOT. I was NOT living life to its fullest. I was NOT enjoying it the way I should have. I was hiding underneath a 121 pound blanket of fat…
…and I am NOT doing that anymore! Really…I’m NOT!!!

It’s nice to be able to say that your life is now defined by what you CAN do, not what you cannot do.

That is awesome. So good that you feel that way. It has to make you feel like you are on top of the world. Good for you and everyone you’ve touched with this!

That is wonderful! And what a goal for me to achieve tonot worry about anythingto not worry about whether I can fit in to a booth and not let my weight dictate my life. Keep doing what you are doing!

Hey Adina, your words are simple and true!!! I am still a "Not" but steadily progressing in the other direction. I know once I make it I will refer back to your words here to reflect and remotivate myself!!! Thanks….Andre’
