A Happy Ending

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.

I didn't want to live my life fat and miserable anymore, I didn't want to die early of an obesity-related disease. I wanted to learn how to run and become the best runner I knew how. I wanted to ride my bike for miles and enjoy this great country I live in. I wanted to become the best person I could. Basically....I want a happy ending, not a sad one.

So regardless of how I got fat or how long I've been fat, I've changed my ending. Everyday I'm out there proving my strength to myself and the world.

I am thankful for the opportunity to do so. What an amazing gift. So many go through life wondering whether they're strong or not-I know I am, I've proved it!

I will never be the fat and unhappy person I was 2 years ago, I may fall off the wagon here or there, but tomorrow never comes-all we have is today and I've become the healthiest and happiest person I could have ever imagined. I can hardly wait to become the "triathlete" I've craved for months and then to do what ever comes next in my life!
