Your Compliments Have Encouraged Me



December 21

Today, I posted a new profile photo on my Facebook page to show my new haircut. Just a simple action of updating a profile photo, right? Well, to my surprise, I received so many heartfelt compliments.  I was very flattered.

Facebook is strange. We share what we’re doing, what we’re eating, what we’re wearing or where we’re shopping, jokes, political messages, religious messages and sometimes, things we shouldn’t make public but we do it anyway. I am one of those people who really enjoys Facebook. But, what I never expected was the impact this photo posting did to me and what it did, was encourage me to continue doing what I’m doing. I felt the honest to goodness urge to move forward toward my weight loss goal and achieve what I have committed to do. I’m taking better care of myself and I feel proud of myself. I have already reached my short term goal and I’m working at my long term goal a day at a time. The compliments were wonderful and I accept them graciously.
