I posted this on Rhonda's site last week and thought I would share it with you guys, too. Since it was last week when I talked to her, "today" means last Thursday.
Oh my holy goodness...I am so very honored that I got to talk to Rhonda today. Rhonda was interviewed on Voice America this morning and I called in with a question. She was excellent! My question was about my weight loss journey. I told her that my biggest fear with losing weight is that I will fail again. She gave me great encouragement and a great assignment to do, (which I have already started), to help me with my fear and my image of myself. She also shared some of her accomplishments regarding her own weight and body. She looks amazing and absolutely adorable on her new book cover.
I have been on Cloud 9 all day long and I am that much more encouraged and that much more determined to succeed at losing weight because of the words Rhonda shared with me today. She said, "Love yourself Selena is the answer, not losing weight, that will come automatically." I always thought that I had to lose the weight first and then I would love myself, but now I know it's the other way around and it makes sense. I never thought to do it that way and I see now that is why the weight stays on. If you would like to hear Rhonda's interview you can go to this website:
