Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t—you’re right.
Henry Ford
For so many years I told myself that I was the fat guy, even when I was not really fat. I kept making jokes about myself. I did that until March 15, 2017. I would have looked pretty foolish posting my weight loss journey on Facebook everyday and still making jokes about myself and how fat I was.
My story changed that day, the day Hyo Kim, challenged me to post and declare to the world that no matter what it took I would get to a healthy weight of 175 pounds. It became my new story. You’ve probably read that I said it was like jumping off a cliff. Now the story is not if I reach 175 pounds, but when.
I don’t make fat jokes about myself anymore, because even though I have a lot of weight yet to lose, that fat guy is gone, he doesn’t live here anymore. My weight loss is as certain as gravity bringing the cliff diver to a safe landing. It may look uncertain to you but not to me.
Funny how our thoughts and words change things.
Where there is no vision, the people perish
Proverbs 29:18 KJV
175 pounds here I come!!!
Press forward.
