You get the picture right? Cause it has been 4 years since that journey began. It has not been easy, things never will, I am a much different person now to what I was then. There are still parts of me that I am not happy about, that I don’t think I ever will be happy with, but each and every day I work towards this new life.
A lot has changed in the last few years and although I still struggle each and every day with my weight, I am happy with the way I am now. My habits have changed a lot and I am thankful that every day I spend on this earth, alive, healthy and well is a good day! Can’t complain about that.
There are times that I don’t want to get up and go for a run, there are times when I don’t want to do anything, but then I remember that I still enjoy those things, I get up and do it anyway! How much has that changed since 4 years ago when I couldn’t even run at all. I wouldn’t run…
Looking forward in life right now, I am happy that I have a future that I see as positive, that I see will be worthwhile. What does my future hold? who knows! but either way I am going to be healthy and alive… and a lot lighter than I was 4 years ago!
Hi Mal, just want to offer you some encouragement. The Mal in the first picture is the one I remember from school. He loved travel and I still have the ‘Captain’ doll from then; actually my baby nephew has it.
The new Mal is that same good person, developed along the way, but a lot healthier and I guess heaps more confident, able to enjoy his life. I’m proud to have gone to school with him and I hope that you are proud of yourself.
