I was listening to a podcast earlier this week and heard a sound clip of a Will Smith interview. He was talking about his work ethic. I love the metaphor that he used, “I am not afraid to die on a treadmill” He’s not willing to be out worked. Period.

That mindset explains a lot of his success.
For so many years, I was afraid to “die on the treadmill” in regards to controlling my weight.
So often I just drifted, no big changes, I just drifted all the way to 304 pounds. I bought into the lie that, “I couldn’t miss that taste” of food for God knows what occasion.
It’s how I drifted so far off course.
I think that life tests us everyday, whether it’s with weight or whatever, life is getting on the treadmill right beside you, challenging you to a test of endurance. Are you so focused and determined that you’re willing to “die on the treadmill” to get what you want?”
Press forward.
175 pounds here I come!!!
