Why am I fat?
Why can't I stop eating?
Am I going to die today?
When will I admit that I have a problem?
Who will take care of my children when I am gone?
What am I missing out on because of my weight problem?
Does this food taste good enough for me to allow it to control me?
How long will it be before I need assistance getting myself dressed?
How am I going to get up from this couch if I keep going in this direction?
How much longer can my body last at this weight before a serious injury occurs?
How many firemen will it take to carry me from my home after my heart attack?
Do I want to live the rest of my life wishing that I would do something about my health?
Do I want to put my loved ones through taking care of me because I won't do something about my bad eating and exercising habits?
When you are done answering those questions honestly, make a decision, Make the decision to do something about the weight that is holding you back and quite literally shortening your rime on the planet. I know it is not easy, I know that it takes time and I know these things from personal experience and though I do not like wishing simply because if you shit into one hand and wish into the other we all know which one fills up first but I really do wish that I had decided to do something about my health earlier on. It took me to get to the point where I thought about if I was going to have a heart attack on a daily basis before I did what needed to be done and finally decided that I had to do something before it was too late, if you are reading this and are in that place, or even if you are not quite there yet but do know that you are on the way, do not fool yourself into thinking that its not a life or death situation because it is and starting tomorrow will not cut it.
It is easy for me to see it so clear now that I am down more than 200 pounds but back when I was heavier there was nothing anyone could have said to me that would have made a difference in the way that I felt about it at the time, just ask my wife if you don't believe me because Lord knows that she tried to get me to see it. In the spirit of Thanksgiving I want to thank my wife publicly on my blog for being there through everything that we have been through in the past 8 years and though I know not all of it was because of my weight much of it was and for that I am thankful that I am married to the most wonderful woman that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
