With a Fighter's Heart I Go!

Nov 23, 2012

Muhammad Ali's words...sorry I cannot exactly quote where they came from,

"Cause if you're willin to go through all the battling you gotta go through to get to where you wanna get, who's got the right to stop you.

Now if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth.
But you've gotta be willing to take the hits.
And not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody."

I think this really fits for many of us fighting this fight over obesity for it is a great foe and sometimes seems insurmountable....it is not  insurmountable any longer for me with this tool I now have....I have limits and now that I have used them to my advantage despite the naysayers and the fearful ones....I have risen above all of my previous failures...I am feeling who I  really can be....the person I've always felt I could be on the outside as well as the inside....it's like a flower blooming....it's growing more beautiful by the day with each new development...my mind is filled with beautiful thoughts and happiness that has not been mine in so long.

I am now the center of my own success; yes I've had help getting to this point, but I am willing to take this on, this battle and I am well armed...mentally, physically, and emotionally....I have no foe that can defeat me...nor shall I lay blame on anyone else anymore for my failures.  There were lots of things that hurt me in the past but that is where they are...they are blown up and gone...they cannot hurt me anymore, because that was then, and this is now.  Nor can regret rear its ugly head and growl deep pain and regrets in my ears that it's come so late and why didn't I do this before, why did I let so much painful life experience drag me down to this point? All that is in the past, some of it helped be grow albeit it a terribly painful growth; this will only serve me to share my experiences others; and for that purpose it may serve me, but I won't allow the pain of the past to serve my future.  I will rise above them and feel strong and successful.

For I know what I am worth; I am worth every bit of the fight, every drop of sweat, every moment that I take for myself....I am worth it all.
