Something cool...

So today at work I was approached by my supervisor to become one of the health champions at work. I'm totally honored because it means she believes in me and my ability to influence others. What is a health champion? It's someone who helps promote the various health and wellness programs that are sponsored by my company. So, why would they want an overweight girl as a health champion? Because I'm making positive changes, because I'm real , and making real choices to make a change. She thinks that I will be able to have value input and be someone that the other people at work who are also overweight could relate to. Now she didn't specifically say that in so many words, but I'm ok with it. I think it's great because not only does it give me the opportunity to share my journey to becoming a more healthy person with others, but it will also help keep me accountable. Cool huh?
