Leap of Faith

There will always be times in life that you look back on, some sad, some happy, some exciting. I have experienced several that are still very vivid in my 29 years on this planet!  My wedding to the most wonderful and beautiful bride on the planet and the birth of my two beautiful baby boys stand out the most!

There are also those times that deep down inside, you know that in that moment in time you are living an experience that later in life you will look back on with a clear idea of what it was you went through. I feel like I am living in that moment right now, my mind is in a place that I have never experienced. I feel so very focused on my goal of a healthier me (Mario 2.0).  In my long battle with weight loss, I have been through more yo-yo stages then I can possibly remember. This week has been wonderful! My new found addiction I will call it to FNS is still very strong. I am at point with my weight loss that I have not quite experienced before. In my mind I have made it to the edge of the cliff, standing there taking time to look backwords as well as peaking over the edge.  Going back means that quality of life is less, weight will come back and everything I have worked for would quickly be forgotten. That is most certainly much easier than the other option.  The other option is taking that leap of faith, trusting that with support from friends, family even though the road ahead is tough, the prize is well worth the battle. I want to be clear, I think I know what I am in for, but there will be a time that its harder than I ever imagined.  

Well….  trust me when I say that I have taken that leap. The road ahead will be filled with emotions, mental breakdowns and temporary pain but reaching my goal will be pure bliss and excitement! I will look back at this moment, reflect on this week and this post in just 6 months and remember how I felt when the leap was made! I thank each and every one of you for taking the time to read my blog, follow my story and providing me with support. Have a happy Friday and a great weekend!
