We parked the car near the small lake and walked to the chemist. It was already hot at 9:30am and our stride was slower than expected. As we waited at the chemist Mel mentioned her excitement at losing 11.7kg. A woman sitting next to her overheard and congratulated Mel before sharing her own weight loss story. The woman in her 30's told Mel how difficult it was for her as an overweight school girl and how she finally lost 30kgs and kept it off. Mel left with a spring in her step. Our next stop was Rockmans Boutique. It wasn't long before the shop assistant was sharing her own weight loss story. How strange that she also lost 30kgs; the same amount of weight Mel is aiming to lose.
Today was the first time in over ten years Mel has bought a top from a 'regular shop' and not a big girl's shop. It was a milestone moment.
