Day 15: Reaching Out

After posting the photo in my post yesterday, both here and on Facebook...oh, my goodness: my email inbox (both at VLendman@beachbodycoach.com and on Facebook) exploded!! Some of you wrote to offer encouragement and help boost Papa L and I as we go on our journey which I am so grateful for, some expressed curiosity and interest, but what thrilled me more was that a large number of people reached out for help.

People I hadn't interacted with much over the years (other than the occasional Facebook "like" or birthday wish) started writing to me, explaining weight challenges, unattained fitness ambitions, and low self-confidence, eagerly looking for something or someone that could help. I just happened to be the right sign at the right moment in the right place, yesterday.

Please, don't stop! If you or anyone you know has been looking for a sign of encouragement, something that pushes you to finally take that step towards feeling better or improving your life, whether it's physically, emotionally or psychologically: DO IT! Reach out. Share. It might be a step (or ten) out of your comfort zone to reach out like that, but, trust me: I have been in the exact same boat, too. (More on that in tomorrow's blog post.)



I suppose a picture really can be worth a thousand words.
