@leahhopehealth: People say you have to lose weight for yourself, not for someone else. But I think there’s something beautiful about changing because you love someone. My nephews didn’t need me to lose 200+ pounds. They loved me before and they would’ve loved me either way. But I wanted to be able to climb the stairs, go down the slide, run, play, hang in their fort and say yes to every memory they invited me into! Not because they asked me to change. Because I loved them enough to want more life with them. 🥰 Did I do this for myself too? Yes, absolutely! But my first motivation was wanting to be a better and healthier version of myself for someone else. It was pure love. I think that’s really special. And it’s why I’ll never take these moments for granted. ☺️
