Because you are gaining everything you’ve ever wanted and losing everything that’s ever made you feel less than. It has nothing to do with weight. It does however, have everything to do with how you treat, view and feel about yourself, that makes a difference. And do you see how what was gained and lost could easily be interchanged? Because, again, it’s not about weight. It’s about who you are as a person and that starts with how you feel about you as a person. It starts with you. It starts within. ~Britt
