It’s hard to be the biggest person in the room for most of your life…

It’s hard to go shopping in the big & tall section of the store. Clothes never fit you right. They either hug you like a sausage casing or the hang from you like a tent. There is no happy medium. I went to Macy’s the other day and they had a shirt there that was 3XL slim fit… I’m wide as a house as it is. Why in the world would someone need a slim fit shirt at 3XL or 4XL? Can someone answer that for me?

It’s hard not to punch your doctor in the face when he/she call you a fat ass. It’s hard to have any self-confidence about yourself to let that roll off of you like a duck’s feather but my friend that’s what YOU GOT TO DO. You got to use that as your fuel for your fire and set their world ablaze!

It’s hard to start couch to 5K. Week 1, Day 1 is a bitch but trust me if you stick with it you’ll surprise yourself with what you can do.

It’s hard to call yourself a runner… especially when you have a 17:00 min/mile pace. It’s going to hurt when people walking around the track are lapping you…. But you can’t worry bout them just worry about your self.

It’s hard to lose 80 pounds…

It’s hard to run a marathon…

It hard to go from marathon to couch… To be that person that ran the races, lost the weight, clothes fit better, to be on TV, to be in the Newspapers, to be in the magazines. To do all that and go back to the couch…

It’s hard my friend… It’s like hitting the lottery for a 100 million. Your life has changed, people are nice to you, and everybody wants to be your friend. However, when you go bankrupt the following year and you got to go back to trailer park… Man that’s hard! You had a taste of the life or what your life could be and you dropped that ball. Your pride, your ego, your mind starts to play tricks on you… It tells you that you should still be there. It tells you it was yours and now it’s gone. It tells you that you don’t have to start fresh you were just there. Then you start to be resentful… Depressed! You start to ask, Why ME?!? Why do I have to go through all of this again?!?

Then it hits you… If not you then who? I responded, shit I don’t care just don’t let it be me.

Now you’re the biggest person in the room again…

Now you’re shopping in the big & tall section again…

Now your doctor is call you a fat ass again….

::Sigh::

It’s hard starting over….

But you got to do what you got to do…

Strip down your ego…

Shed your pride…

Quit your job…

Cut your hair…12027780_743664519112904_1971434519681038040_n

Just do something new… Do something thing different because we all know what the definition of insanity is.

Start doing yoga…

Mediate…

Read self development books…

Listen to something positive or educational 30 minutes a day…

Write in a journal…

Talk to a therapist…

Go to bed at a decent time…

Take vitamins…

Get active…

Do things that make you happy….

Hang around people who bring you joy…

Say nice things to yourself…

Dress up…

Repeat affirmations…

What ever you got to do. Because this is not the old journey, so stop living like it is. The good ole days are gone, so let’s leave it in the past. This is a rebirth… This is redemption… This is the reset button… This is your opportunity to shock yourself again. What ever you do just have fun. Let’s make the rest of your life he best of you life.

Until next time.
