I would agree with that sentiment, tangible.
I know a lot of people have wondered that in the past for me, even close friends.
I had a really good friend (we are no longer, but that's another story)
that thought that I really wasn't sore all the time - that I was just lazy. He couldn't figure out why I wouldn't get much done sometimes. I know deep down he thought that I was just lazy, and that's how I got fat. As he got to know me better, he realized that I wasn't lazy.
Then you always get these people that try to "remind" you that you need to lose weight. Like I didn't know that!
The way I look at it is this: I am on a journey. I had to be fat to become thin. I am exactly where I should be in my life. In order to become the person I will be (a superhero
), I must conquer my weight RIGHT NOW and once and for all.
Because of that, I am not ashamed of who I was. I want everyone to know what I have gone through and what I will go through.
Anyway, sorry to get off in a rant. I am just very serious about taking this weight off, once and for all. I want EVERYONE to know it. My e-mail signature at work says at the end: "79 pounds lost and counting".
