Back in 1998 I did a marathon. It as something that was amazing and hard work to get ready for. I was not a small person, about what I am right now actually; so the doubt of people thinking I could do it was questionable at times. One day I found this ad by Nike and fell in love with it. I put it on all my material and posted it at home and work to keep me going. I just found it again!!! So I wanted to share the words that kept me going. And yes I did the marathon, and yes I finished it in the alloted time....and yes I cried at the end. (and yes I will do another one too)

Here it is:

All your life you are told things you cannot do.
All your life they will say you're not good enough
or strong enough or talented enough.
They will say you're the wrong height
or the wrong weight or the wrong type
to play this or be this or achieve this.
THEY WILL TELL YOU NO
A thousand times no.
Until all the no's become meaningless.
All your life they will tell you no.
Quite firmly and very quickly.
AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES.

About 5 years ago I got laid off and no longer worked with folks I'd been with for 10 to 20 years. While I was laid off I got a job in a small factory, and started a downhill spiral. My weight got so out of control, my legs got infected, I had to stop working out, and the couch became my bestest friend ever. Then the end of 2011 my doc said that I had to do something and he wanted me to get the surgery; which I refused. So in Feb of 2012 started a program through the hospital, was able to start working out again, added boxing to my routine, and was able to kick butt in the yard again.

Now you'd think with all the effort I have put into getting thinner that you'd want folks to say "you look amazing", or "wow, I didn't even regonise you". Turns out that there is another one that made me smile: "Wow, how can you look excatly the same!?!". Most would take this the wrong way. But I finally go hired back to my old job and running into old friends that I have not seen in 6 to 7 years it just makes me happy that to them I am excalty the same. Really, it means all that major damage I did to myself is gone. The extra 80lbs, the weak and uncomfortable body feeling, the stress and aging on my face, and the dull sheen my skin had taken on. It is all gone. When a dear old freind who knew has known me since I was a "young pup" gives you a huge tight hug and says: "You feel great, and wow you look just the same!!" , yes it does make me very happy. Because it means I am back from that brink of death, and happy, and healthy...and from here it can only get better and better and better!!
