Introduction Text Convincing Myself To Be Strong Sometimes it's easy to forget the very important reasons why I'm doing this. For me it's a desire to have a better life. I want to have a longer, healthier life. I want to feel freedom from obesity. I want to experience the things in life that being extremely overweight prohibits. I don't ever want to be scared about a little twinge in my chest, wondering if I'm about to have a heart attack. I want to be active with my family, do things that we've never done, because it wasn't what fat people do. I want to swim. I want to run. I want to free my family and my mind of worry over my weight. These are the reasons I must continue this mission faithfully, honestly, and with a determined spirit. A real transformation begins on the inside, not in a bottle or a package. The magic is sitting inside you, just waiting to be let out. The transformation is a learning process, one that comes from realizing you control your destiny, and that you can accomplish whatever you decide you're going to accomplish." "Make the decision, then do something - no matter how small - toward accomplishing what you want." You can achieve great things in your life, but you need to fully believe in yourself to do them! Hi my name is john, I live in west palm beach, fl.I had a problem with my heart (A-Fib) and I was told to lose weight or I would not be around long, My goal is to take back my life,so ill be around to see my grandkids grow up,I will take all the support I can to reach my goal weight,I need all of your help thanks I've come to terms with the fact that I CAN'T "be like everyone else" when it comes to eating and drinking what I want, when I want. I'll have to do my own thing for the rest of my life, but I'm actually okay with that. Numerous people have told me that I inspire them. That just blows my mind! I've never been "the success story" before. "The greatest revenge is to accomplish what others say you cannot do." If you can forgive yourself as well as others and learn from your mistakes , problems and heartaches will be steppingstones on your path to growing wiser and stronger. If you can love yourself as well as others , you will learn acceptance and understanding. Smiling and a good laugh can change your mood, no matter what kind of day you�ve had. So do some self-medicating every time you feel your mood darkening; watch a funny movie or spend time with a friend who tells good jokes. Just laugh damn it. Now I want to help others the way I helped myself. No matter how many road blocks life puts in the way, jump over them and keep plugging away. You will be happy you did. I know I did! The power of prayer and determination is unstopable ...''Today, I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it." - the Dalai Lama There are no secrets to Success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, learning from failure ...Just for today, I will not worry. Just for today, I will not be angry. Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings. Just for today, I will do my work honestly. Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing. I say this twice a day and try to live my life with these beliefs Never give up. Never give in. Never quit trying. Your dreams WILL come true...NEVER stop believing The day you decide to change your life....It wont be easy.....It will cause you pain.....you will feel loss....It will be difficult at time...But always remember, NEVER GIVE UP!!!! Because one day in the future it WILL be easier....you WILL heal.....you WILL find a new life......& you'll be so glad you went through it all & came out the other end!
