"Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal"

Obesity is ruining my health . I can't fix the damage already done. I can make my future better by losing the excess weight. At this point failure is not an option.

My friend lost over 70 lbs by changing the way he eats and exercising . I am very proud of him. He sent me a picture the other day. Honestly I did not recognize him at all. He looks really great, but he doesn't look like the man I know.

How will I look after I lose 70 lbs ?
Will I recognize myself at all ?
Will I see a stranger staring in the mirror ?

Like a hurdler in a race looking down will only make me fall. I have to keep my eyes on the prize. Only then will I ever see what I will really look like minus 70 lbs. Outside I know that I will look very different. Inside though I will still be the same person that I am right now. Just a little lighter on my feet I suppose. *LOL*

** EVER FORWARD **
