This past weekend I got together with some old friends from High School, who had been away at school for the past several months. It was really great to see everyone, but I was really impressed by my friend Brooke. Brooke had been my friend since elementary school and I was really looking forward to seeing her again. She had always carried a few extra pounds, honestly probably about 50 and although she was always pretty, her weight held her back from a lot of life's opportunities. Now you always hear about people going away to school and putting on 20lbs in their Freshman year, so I figured for Brooke it would be more like 30lbs easily. Well, I can't tell you that when she walked into the restaurant, my friend of ten years, I didn't recognize her. As she approached the table, I saw the sparkle in her eyes and immediately jumped up to give her a hug. I couldn't stop staring at her. She was gorgeous and probably about a size 7. I told her how great she looked and we all started talking and catching up. She told us that she started taking diet pills when she went away to school, something that she had been wanting to do for year, but her mother wouldn't let her. Now with some freedom, she decided to give ephedra diet pills a try and honestly, she said that she couldn't be happier. She said that she has lost 43lbs and that she feels great. Again we all told her how amazing she looked. I don't even know if our focus was really on the actual weight loss, or her new found confidence with herself. She told us that she has a really hot boyfriend and she brought some pictures to show, and this guy looks and sounds incredible. He is an athlete, which she told us really helps because they eat right and exercise together. She says with him there is absolutely no pigging out, which is just what she needs.

It just goes to show that growing up can really change a person. I am really glad that her life is coming together for her, she is an incredible person and really deserves to look as beautiful on the outside as she has always been on the inside.
