I just assume that everyone has their own personal cheerleader. You know that person you can go to with the most absurd, obscure dreams and they say… Sure! You can do it! I know you can! Go forth! Achieve! Dream big!
My big sis is that person in my life. She believes in me, quite often, more than I do. She believes that I can do anything. She makes me believe I can do anything. She’s that good.
I’ll bake a cake and she’ll take a bite. Put down the fork and exclaim… Oh. My. God. This is the best cake I have ever tasted in my whole life.
And she means it too, well, until she tries the next cake you make and then that is the best cake ever tasted in the whole wide world.
I am so grateful for my big sis, my own personal cheerleader. She truly is a beautiful light in my life. Always there. Always positive. Always cheering me on. Thank you.
*I won’t mention the time I was playing netball in my early teens and about to shoot a goal. She was on the sidelines cheering me on. Go Channy Fanny! How embarrassment.
Or the times in High School when she’d want to protect me from anyone giving me a hard time (which she still does, mind you). She’s only a little pocket rocket, but that never stops her. I must have come home one afternoon saddened by things said by a certain person. She was all fired up. I explained to her who it was that gave me a hard time and she said she’d take care of it. The next day I spot her giving this girl a serving… she was yelling and telling her what for. I sunk down and wanted to die, right there. She was yelling at the wrong person. Whoops.
I just came across your blog. I checked it out mainly because of your name. I’m a Chantelle too. I had to laugh out loud, when I read that your sister yelled “Channy Fanny!” I too played netball, and had everyone yelling that out to me as well! And yes, it is highly embarrassing. There was a time in my life when my friends just cut out the ‘Channy’ part and just called me ‘Fanny’! Ugghh.
Anyway, good luck with your weight loss journey.
Channy

Chantelle, loving your blog.It is a great read. Just wondering if you could tell me the name of the font you have used on the two pics of your sister and Lacey. It is the pink font, and I really like it. Hope you can help me with it. Thanks, Bettina xx
