Playfully healthy

So I have started to only post once a week, but I couldn't resist the urge to comment on my latest finding.  Throughout the last couple of weeks, I realized something, I have slowly started to make a community of healthy strivers around me.  Virtually everyday, I am approached or approach someone in my work, church, online who want to talk health.  WOW! Is this really who I am becoming??? Someone who is known by my friends, co-workers, and family as a go-to person for encouragement, advice, experiences.  I hope so, not for my own pride, but rather for my own support.  I find when I am told or tell someone that we should choose an orange over icecream and can have the icecream tomorrow if we plan for it, that not only do I make the right choices, but I also feel like I've taken yet another step in the right direction.  Community and buddies are really the way to go.  When you make healthy living a part of your every day community and conversation its really hard to not make it a part of you.  So rather than be embarrassed about losing weight and joining weight watchers, I suck it up and shout it loud and proud! its a good way to create accountability. :)
