I rode my bike to the river today - about 4 miles there and 4 miles back. On the way home, I stopped by the nature store and finally grabbed a watermelon I’ve been eyeing for a while. Managed to fit it into my backpack and rode the 4 miles home with it.

That weight on my back really got me thinking. People who are overweight - when they shed 10, 12, 20 pounds - that should be massively celebrated. Just carrying that watermelon for 4 miles made me feel how much of a difference losing that kind of weight must make.

When someone tells you they’re down a few pounds on their journey to get healthy, hype them up - it’s a huge deal and can change how they feel every single day.
