day thirtyeight

My wish for tonight. I wish that all of my friends could see themselves through my eyes for just a day.

A huge thing I've learned during this undertaking is that for all the worrying about calories and workouts and carbs and "ose" endings and emotional eating... could the list be any longer... for all that, it's the simplest word from a friend that pushes me forward. And not just the encouragement from others but the knowledge that I'm helping them on their journey. The friend who notices my jeans and takes the time to tell me, the one who shows up for swimming even tho her life is so full right now, staying home would be easier, the one who shines a new light on the process with her own diligent and insightful blog. These people blow my mind and keep me on track.

I wish all these people, when faced with their own challenges just tried to be "Cath" for a minute and realize how tremendous they all are.
If they could do that they'd see a remarkable group of people: strong, talented, loving, supportive, funny... a really great crew!
