Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? People can be so cold

 I've been thinking a lot about support systems this week. It's so important for all of us to have support in everything that we do. Whether it comes to us in our work relationships or our personal ones, it's nice to know you have someone who's "Got your back".
 
 I would argue that support is as important on any weight loss plan as the food and exercise plan.

  My team mates are certainly supportive. On the Sunday of our walk in the Buddy's Race Against Cancer, we were all supportive for each and every step of the way. Some of us haven't walked 2 miles in a while so it was nice that we could encourage each other along.

 And, in the days since we last saw each other, we have emailed each other little encouragements to get through the week. It's been fun seeing all the emails in my mailbox and know I have a little nugget of encouragement/advice waiting for me. I've also received encouragement from many of my friends and that has also encouraged me. I thank you all so very much for the nice words you've sent my way.

 I would encourage you to try and be encouraging to others. You may not fully realize how saying a few kind words can make all the difference in the world to them.
