Thoughts

I have recently been made aware of someone who is walking down the slippery slope I traveled on the second part of my journey. The first part of said journey was sincere - fat out-of-shape dad decides to turn his health around. The second part was dangerous and ultimately destructive - prideful boasting on social media. I watch and know that nothing can be said or done to stop the eminent train wreck. I hope the other side of the wreck is something s/he can recover from.

I am so happy to be where I am right now regarding my health. The obsession over measuring myself against the approval of others is gone. I would be ashamed of myself if I didn't find the memories laughable. What a jerk I was - ha! I have this blog which (I'm pretty sure nobody reads) keeps me in touch with my progress. My posts on fb about working out are subdued and give me healthy rahrah support.

My soul is peacful. My mind is focused.

Physical health is great - but it isn't everything. In fact, there are facets of it which can bring demise. Balance.
