Change http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/itistime/comments/79043/change And as is always the case, change does not come easy.&nbsp; As if in a holding pattern, I accomplish nothing.&nbsp; I accomplish nothing because I try nothing.&nbsp; I need only take one step, the first step.&nbsp; But just as soon as I do, I spiral down a whirlpool of self doubt and regret, depression and even anger.&nbsp; I come out on the other side three steps back of where I started.&nbsp; For me, the key isn't anything on the outside, nothing tangible.&nbsp; Change needs to come from within... A concept so foreign to me, I'm not sure what can trigger it. <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/itistime/comments/79043/change">Comments(1)</a> 79043 Sunday, October 30, 2005 22:04:19 Prologue http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/itistime/comments/78113/prologue <p>This is big.&nbsp; My world doesn't take kindly to change.&nbsp; Negativity and indifference are my comforts.&nbsp; Have been my comforts.&nbsp; I need to turn it all around, otherwise I won't be here much longer.&nbsp; Won't be here for those that love me and depend on me.&nbsp; Won't be here for the ones I love.&nbsp; </p> <p>Pinpointing the problem isn't easy.&nbsp; I'm a malcontent.&nbsp; As a youth I never had what I wanted.&nbsp; As a young man, I got as much as I could.&nbsp; It never was enough.&nbsp; Never enough to fill that void that had grown within me for so many years.&nbsp; I've slowly but surely destroyed my mind and body.&nbsp; With anything and everything I could get my hands on.&nbsp; I'm amazed that I stand here today.&nbsp; I was invincible for a long time.&nbsp; Those days are gone.&nbsp; I see the dark clouds approaching now.&nbsp; I feel the cold creeping in.&nbsp; I can't say I haven't grown wise through all of this. </p> <p>I want to turn it all around.&nbsp; I want to be here for those who need me.&nbsp; I want to be here for the ones that I love.&nbsp; I want to be here to see what could be.</p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/itistime/comments/78113/prologue">Comments(0)</a> 78113 Sunday, October 30, 2005 22:00:21
