I woke up yesterday morning and strictly out of curiosity I checked the scales. It read 242. I don't believe I have been 242 since high school. That is very much good news. I believe once I see 239 or less I'll be able to have the drive necessary to reach my goal. I've also realized that my self-esteem is negatively correlated to my weight; or in English, I lose weight and get happier.
Happy, that brings me to my next problem. I feel like I'm ready to go forward with my life. I feel almost as though there is an opportunity just waiting for me to take advantage of it and grow on in life. I think I need to be a little more selfish in my life. Everybody else does it, why not me? It is my time to seize my future and nothing will stop me.
So here's the deal, an apology for anybody I might hurt along the way. You probably deserve it for those you have hurt but I'm not petty enough to claim that as my defense. I'm sorry. There, now that should make you sleep easy at night.
I feel different than I have felt in a long time. Confident, hopeful, happy, it's a scary combination in somebody of whom it is often said can achieve anything he puts his mind to.
So once again I must bid you all adieu; for today I shall be productive before it is required of me to go to work.
