Friday morning, Brenda (one of my trainers) decided that terrorizing me first thing in the morning was an awesome idea. I actually agree. I want her to ~~brutalize~~ push me, because that is what I need. I like to be pushed outside my comfort zone. What can I say? I like the abuse, I guess. Being this overweight has wreaked havoc on my life, and put me in constant pain. I feel pain all day long, from the moment I wake up in the morning until I fall asleep. No whining here- just stating facts. Now, I feel all sorts of fun things going on, like joints cracking and sore EVERYTHING…but I LOVE IT. I love knowing that I worked hard to earn that pain. I get enormous satisfaction from knowing that I will NOT be turning back to old habits. I will NOT be sabotaging myself “just this once” for temporary pleasure. That plate of French fries is just not worth it anymore. I’ve never been this motivated in my life. Participating in this opportunity means so much more than a free gym membership, an Xbox Kinect and personal trainers. I am getting my life back!! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. I can see a life without constant pain (imagine carrying a person on your back all day- that is what it’s like to be this heavy). I can see a life where I might actually heal from the pain of my past. I feel so much better knowing I’m making these changes on my own. No one is “babysitting” me at home…it’s all on me.

Me and the SUPER BAND (real name). Good times.

This Is Fun… Right?!
