Shine Like The Sun

When trying to lose weight, everyone needs to first set a weight loss goal. At the moment, I'm still afraid to step on that scale. I'm not sure how much I want to know exactly how much I weigh. In addition to setting a goal, some people (myself included), choose an individual that they look up to for weight loss inspiration. My inspiration is Broadway performer, Megan Hilty. Ms. Hilty has been in numerous shows Broadway shows, one of them being a person favorite of mine, Wicked.

Currently, Ms. Hilty is playing the role of "Doralee" in the musical version of 9 to 5. I recently wrote to her to tell her how I feel that she is a great role model for a positive body image and also mentioned my struggle with weight loss. She was kind enough to send me an autographed photo for motivation and also enclosed a small note.

























































I look at this note when I need motivation and I know that it will help me along my journey.

If any of you reading are in the NYC area, I really recommend going to see the show. It's amazing. Ms. Janney, Ms. Block, and Ms. Hilty all give outstanding performances.
