I love what I do SOOOOOO MUCH!
By Beth | January 17, 2008
I mean, seriously. Does it GET better than this?
What could possibly make a day more than receiving an email like this, as I did today:
“My wife and I have read your diet book and started the diet on 1/7/08. We both have been on a 1200 calorie diet before and as for myself I was hungry all the time. We have been amazed at how fast the time passes and we have to have another meal. As you said in your book we seem to be eating all the time and one of the hard parts is deciding what to have, because there are so many choices. After 9 full days on the diet I have lost 9 pounds. My wife has lost a little less, but we think that is because it seems harder for women to lose than men. We both look forward to reaching our goals.
“Many thanks for writing the book and sharing it with others.”
I don’t know–I just couldn’t figure out whether to laugh with happiness or cry with being so touched to the heart when I read that.
I guess the main point is that, when I started figuring out this diet, it was only for myself. And when I decided to share it, it was just a practical matter–no emotional content involved: Person X needs to lose weight. I know how Person X can lose weight. I will give that information to Person X. Person X can then lose weight.
But the EMOTIONAL aspect of this is just surprising me into a total head twirl!
When I am reading all these testimonials about the quasi-miraculous weight loss on the Six Word Diet, and reading the thank you emails to me for having shared my formula, and letters that people have taken time from their busy lives to write to me, often simply THANKING ME!–and having it really begin to sink in, that SO many people are losing SO much weight–all kinds of people, all over the world…..
……..never, never, ever did I foresee this kind of profound joy that I am feeling, that people are reversing obesity–and it is common knowledge that obesity can kill!–so people are literally saving their own lives, and reversing their risks of a slew of godawful diseases–merely to think (perchance to dream!) that I was able to offer ANY ONE of them a hand, much less to offer a hand to so many….
….they say you can’t do what you haven’t first dreamed.
Wrong.
I never dreamed how much I could love doing ANYthing like I love this.
And I love doing this SO much.
Thank you. Everybody. Thank you.
