I had been with Dr. Jack since October 5th, and more than anything, I had wanted to lose 40 pounds. Originally he had asked me what my goal was and that is what I named. Both of us knew I needed to lose more than forty pounds, so he asked me why I had named that my goal. “If I can lose forty pounds in the first twelve weeks, then I will know it is working and I can keep going.”
Christmas Eve, the gift came. I got on the scale Christmas Eve morning and I said a little prayer. Then I got off and looked down. There it was…. like a gift from Santa Claus. I looked at it and the tears came to my eyes dropping on the scale. I grabbed my phone, took a picture of it and sent it to Dr. Jack. I was so excited, I sent it as a text to his phone.
I think he was about as excited as I was. He wrote me back the sweetest note and although I share a lot of his emails and messages to me, this one is personal, one I kept and treasure. He told me a lot about how proud he was of me, and that I should look at it as my rebirth.
Forty pounds….. I could hardly believe it. And then, all of a sudden I started thinking that if I could lose forty pounds, there was no reason I couldn’t lose fifty…. or SIXTY!!! Or EVEN SEVENTY!!!!!!!!!!! There was going to be no stopping me now.
Best Christmas gift ever!!!
