Now, you're here, so the title isn't telling you anything you don't already know, right? But I recently had it brought home to me how much community matters for weight loss. I met a man at work the other day who I told about my weight loss and exercise. I remember that I said that I might not be able to compete against a twenty-year-old who was exercising as much as I was, and he said, "No, but you're competing against yourself."
He was absolutely right. That's what this is about for me. The fact that yes, I can walk over 10,000 steps five days a week and feel just fine. I can lift weights and stand up for all my work shifts and feel good. And yes, I can do this all now when I couldn't have two years ago.
