Facing the Critics
Even after her transformation, there were still critics. Some people couldn’t resist making comments, questioning her motives or speculating about her next steps. But Claire had learned to tune out the noise. She no longer cared what others thought. She had found her own peace, and she wasn’t going to let anyone take that away from her. Robert stood by her side, as he always had, reminding her that the only opinions that mattered were their own.

Claire’s focus had shifted entirely from losing weight to maintaining her health. She no longer saw her fitness journey as a means to look a certain way but as a way to feel stronger, more energetic, and more alive. Her workouts became a celebration of what her body could do, rather than a punishment for how it looked. Robert, who had never cared about her size, appreciated how happy and vibrant she was. Her health had become their shared priority.
