Standing Tall

Today at work I had to give a presentation to over 100 staff members, the majority being managers & directors.

 

Before I was banded I would get so nervous fearing all they would see was this talking whale….

 

Today, I felt confident in myself. I knew the subject matter, I was dressed professionally and I was ready. The presentation went off without any hicks and after it was over my coworker said to me, “Wow, you were so confident up there. How do you do that?”

 

It made me think. I am confident, I am in control, I like myself…. No I love myself. I stand tall!

 

All because in February 2012 I decided to put myself first, to change my lifestyle, to eat right & exercise. I got a tool to help me accomplish this, my band, and together we have done incredible stuff.

 

I have changed and improved myself and today I do stand tall.

 

I thank the band for that!
