The Battle wages on

We work hard.  We train, we do the right things and I look and sometimes I don’t see it.  I have lost over seventy pounds and I look in the mirror and I still see a really fat person.  My clothes fit better people comment that I look really good but I still have to convince myself that what I’m doing is working.  I battle constantly with my mind.  Temptations still call to me but I battle on.  I am at full out war with myself and the stakes are very high I just hope I have the fire power to win.  For all the positive people that I interact with there are always some that it seems is there goal to knock you back down.  It is these distracters that have always beaten me in the past.  I have always let someone’s negative comment weigh on me until I except what they say as reality.  It’s really hard for me to do something for myself because I want to do it that my life is worth saving for me and not for other people.  I bust my ass in the gym because I want to be healthy and live a long full life.  Sometimes I got to say pardon my French “Fuck you this is for me” shitty people are always going to be there.  I write this because today I interacted with one of these people, it wasn’t what she said but it was her attitude towards me that really pissed me off.  This lady looked at me like I was a fat piece of garbage and really took a shit on my day.  Instead of letting this lady ruin me I am now even more determined than before.  I want more than ever to overcome this weight for me and well because I also want to give the big one finger salute to the doubters (Hey what can say I can be a little spiteful).  Life is short you really don’t need bad people in it.  For all the people fighting this battle I am with you, I feel your pains and your struggles.  Together we will overcome this epidemic and live today for the rest of our lives.
