Trust

Today I was blown away by something which could have easily been overlooked I suspect. A client of mine who is not new at all, in fact she's been with me for about 8 months or so decided to get back on track. We had been talking all along as I always thought of her, but didn't want to be all over her case. I care about her so much, if she only knew how much I wanted her to succeed... So she finally said she had just had enough and needed to try again. We reviewed balanced eating, and I checked her meal plans for tomorrow; she bounced some ideas off me. I'm really excited for her - the thought of making it happen , taking action and hoping again. She even said she was looking forward to the exercises tomorrow morning. 
But what really struck a cord was when she mentioned that she had never disclosed her measurements to anyone not even her own mother. Think about that. The kind of trust and commitment to confide what's most 'secret' to you. I get it. I do. She's likely feeling disappointed in her current progress, but she's turning it around today. I felt touched but maybe even a little awkward that someone would entrust me with that. These are sacred things, you handle with great care. I just wished her the best and hid the measurements in a notepad  in code. But it was what made my day today knowing she is trying again. I appreciate her trust to give me that gift
