If The Shoe Fits....

Last week I went to the mall and I stopped by a few shoe stores because I want to start wearing high heels but can never seem to find ones that fit right or that are nice.  I decided to try on the shoes that I have always salivated over, the ones with all the straps that would never close because I was always too heavy to fit in them.

To my complete amazement the first ones I tried actually went in smoothly AND I was able to close the zipper!.....OMGosh if you guys could have seen my face you would all be laughing at my dumbfounded look.  I tried on every shoe that I could never touch before just for the heck of it and I was able to fit in all of them.  I have lost 1/2 a size in shoes and I don't know how much in width.  

Although this may not be a big deal to you guys, it was such a great deal for me because being heavier hindered my ability of being normal to the point that it controlled the type of clothes and shoes I wore, the things I could do with my family, my health, it controlled my entire life.  I am not sure how I allowed it to get that far but I am most certainly glad that I am not there anymore.   

Today I want to tell you that if you started on a journey to change your life that you don’t stop because it is worth every drop of sweat, every sore muscle, every moment you spend in the gym and every time you say NO to bad food.  I know because I have been there and I am glad that I changed my life.
