I have never been a competitive person, I do my best to not only finish what I started, and to do my best at whatever it is I am doing.

I sent out a friendly challenge to family and friends (whom I thought wanted to improve their health by losing a few extra unwanted pounds)and challenged them to be more motivated. 

I kept things simple by going for a walk, light dancing , and even posting a few exercise videos. I got replies like: “Are you really doing everything you are posting?” “Why are you posting this?”

Needless to say, I stopped posting for a while. Then I realized who I was and started posting once again. I am doing this for myself and I don’t need anyone else’s approval.

I then challenged myself to keep on being the person I want to be:

• I am Loved.
• I believe in myself.
• I am someone Special…
• I will continue to be me…
• I have Faith and Know where I stand…

• I can do more than what people think I can do.
• I will NOT let anyone STOP me from being a better me…………

When it’s all said and done, how can you Not Laugh, because you are LIVING YOUR LIFE THE BEST AS YOU CAN. Those who do see that or don’t want you to see it are frowning every time their unwanted words are NOT being acknowledged.

Bye IV NOW,LD*
