Finally Set Two Minor Goals For Myself

Jul 12, 2010

I was thinking today of my first 2 goals to set for myself, These are to get rid of my diabetes demon that has plagued me for almost 8 years. The other is to set my 1st milestone, getting down to 300 Lbs, a feat that has not been seen by me in probably close to 10 years if not longer.

As I sit here and write this I have accomplished one of these. The demon of diabetes that has plagued, haunted, and scared me many a night is finally no longer a threat to me. I was always told there was a chance if I lost the weight I could get rid of it, but in my years of struggle I had all but given up on that chance. I went to see my regular doctor Friday and my sugar and A1C levels were perfect. My A1C was 5.1 a perfect level, down from as high as 10-11 when I was real bad.  Hearing my doctor tell me that I was good now was a surreal moment. I won't lie a cried a few tears of joy.

As for the other goal I am around 12 lbs away from hitting it. Back at my worst time I was just over 400 Lbs. I can not believe how close I am. I always knew I could get this far but it always felt impossible to me.

I have one minor goal down and one to go. I will have many more to follow but these 2 seemed paramount for me to set.

All I know for sure is that I have come a very long way from where I had started. I have a long way to my goal, but my fire and passion for becoming the best person I can be has never been stronger. This Wednesday will be my 12^th week since surgery and I keep getting stronger.

 

I will succeed and I will achieve my goals.

I will NEVER stop. NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER, NO REMORSE

Eye of the Tiger.
