I looked in the mirror tonight and saw a new person. It made me stop in my tracks. I haven’t lost enough weight to make a difference. Haven’t changed my hair, I didn’t have on make-up. Nothing had changed except the way you all helped me see myself. I love what I saw. Thank you for helping me find that love again.
