So I’ve had some comments handed to me ever so graciously over the years that I would like to use to fuel my fire.
Comment #1:
My child’s preschool teacher comes over for a home visit. We give her a tour of the house. She sees my home gym…free weights, bench press, 3-sided weight machine, mirrors on all the walls, etc. Then she asks me…
“Do you use it?”
Comment #2:
Hanging out chatting with a friend at church one morning, we’re talking about exercising and such. I comment on how my problem is not being consistent. I say “I’ve worked out my whole life…” and he finishes my sentence with…
“…and you have nothing to show for it?”
Comments #3 & 4:
My ex-stepdad can be a real jerk sometimes. Last year he came to visit us while we were camping. He says to me…
“Don’t you feel bad your wife being so fit and you being so fat?”
Two weeks ago, at my brother’s wedding reception, he tells me…
“You WAY over married.”
I get it. I’m overweight. I have worked out pretty much my entire life, since probably junior high school, and I do struggle with being consistent. Consistency is vital.
But my main problem over these last 3 years has been stress. I took a huge pay cut and have been carrying a huge financial burden. I have a wife of 25 years and 3 kids. I’ve had a lot of pressure on me and its been hard. But I’m desperately ready for change.
I’m desperately ready for change.
