As a teen, I lost a bunch of weight during a growth spurt and found the joy of it tempered by the grim realization that people treated me differently just because my looks had changed, even though I was still the same. I learned a valuable lesson I will never forget.

That scene in Extreme Love where Dante and Cait are having that conversation after her class. That is dedicated to my instructor. Not only did that man push me further than I ever thought I could be pushed, but his energy, his passion for what he does, drove me forward. Finding that was a huge part of my success. Now I love working out. Never EVER thought I would say that, LOL. <br />Esme<br />EsmeAbby Nileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465991652796663313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-61294586894744666572009-05-05T11:18:00.000-04:002009-05-05T11:18:00.000-04:00Wow, that is an inspirational story.

As a person, who has struggled and is struggling (although pregnant now so not much I can do. LOL) both of you are a huge inspiration to me.<br />I couldn't read Cait without feeling her strength. <br />You're such a fabulous writer and I learned so much from you. <br />Thank you for writing Cait and for everything you do. <br /><br />Rebecca RoyceRebecca Roycehttp://www.rebeccaroyce.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-46064197648006138952009-05-05T10:33:00.000-04:002009-05-05T10:33:00.000-04:00Thanks Tierney and December:):)Thanks Tierney and December:):)Abby Nileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465991652796663313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-67494320338246009902009-05-05T10:23:00.000-04:002009-05-05T10:23:00.000-04:00I'm just so impressed by your determination to mak...I'm just so impressed by your determination to make the changes!<br /><br />I sure hope Caitlyn gets her name in print soon!Decemberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579791487012447728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-11579943194779684682009-05-05T10:22:00.000-04:002009-05-05T10:22:00.000-04:00Very beautifully written, Jen.
