Alive

I saw an interview with Adro, the winner of the biggest loser Australia.   He described a scene where he had to face his biggest fear, heights by jumping out of a tall tree.  He says that as he jumped he felt his new body jump but his old body stay up in the tree calling out to him to come back.  He realized at that moment that he would never be obese again.  It was such a powerful image.  Have you reached a moment when you just know that you know that know that enough is enough and you are going to do this once and for all?

He said, "There is a difference between being alive and living."  I want to live.

I saw that too!  It was very moving.  I dont know that Ive had that momment when I feel like Ive done some specific activity that seperated the old and ne me but I definately feel that Ive learned enough to make a life long change and this time I have finally left the old me behind!    I love that show! 

the up coming 4-0

Has me on the straight and narrow! I have been here since2006 and only now have I really truly seen progress, cause I am actually doing something about it and not just sitting back and hoping that if I whine long enough the weight will just "give in" like a mother in the toy store and come off on its own. LOL...nope it didn't and now I am turning 40 and that got me moving in the right direction on the scale.....downwards!

Good luck on your journey. You're off to a great start!
