Note to self!!

Dear me,

Don’t ever freakin listen to people who tell you to relax on your eating.  To relax on  your fitness.  To relax or to take a break from the healthy life.  Just smile at them and tell them that you just might.  Then walk away and rebuke those dang thoughts and tell yourself that what you just heard was bullshit! (sorry for the language).  

When people say the following things, don’t even consider them as even a half of a truth:

• Oh you ran 20 miles you can eat that.
• Gotta have a little here and there.
• It is just fine to take a week off from exercise, I mean you have been doing sooooo good.
• One won’t hurt you…..
• Don’t be so hard on yourself about this Weight Watchers thing
• Your in great shape you don’t need to watch what you eat THAT much.

Just remember, this is all bull crap.  These kind words of wisdom will lead you right back to weighing 307 lbs and to an early death.  It will lead you back to being a fat guy with a skinny beautiful wife who just wishes that you would live healthy so that you can be with her for a long time.  It will take you right back to not being able to walk from a parking stall a long ways off.  It will lead you right back to hating the way you look with a passion.

You know what it takes to stay fit, strong, healthy, lean.  Not a single person can do it for you.  Only you can do it.
