Home for the weekend

So, I'm home from school for the weekend. Many people I have seen this weekend haven't seen me since August, and they are non-stop complimenting me. I visited this one family member who is somewhat critical at times (very hard to please), and she said, "Wow, you look like a different person. You look amazing." So, hearing that from her really meant a lot. Someone else said, "Where's the rest of you?!" I just laughed. It feels good that people are noticing and motivates me to continue my progress.

Congratulations!  Isn't it GREAT!  Remember the feeling you have now to keep you motivated and help you through the speed bumps.
