change
Things change. People change. I have changed. I am not the same. I will never be the same. No more getting out of breath from putting my shoes on. No more getting out of breath clibing one flight of stairs or walking around walmart.
I was with an old friend and he smokes and doesnt workout. He is amazed at how i have changed. He said you can eat some fries and drink a coke its not going to kill you. I disagreed it almost did kill me. I was in bad health when i was so fat. People dont realize the struggle that it is to be healthy. It takes dedication and hard work. It is not something that everyone can do. He thinks i am stuck up and think im better than everyone else because i eat certain things or wont skip a workout to get a beer. I only see this friend once every 2-3 months but seeing him reminds me of where i came from. It reminds me of the old habits that almost killed me. I think its important to remember where you come from to know where you are going.

Hey bro your right on, I was the opposite of you, a meth addict. I lost down to 118Lbs before I got locked up. Now the people I used to hang with treat me pretty much the same way you speak of. Thats okay though they look like Hell and I dont, their still using and Im not. So hang in there do your thing and never give in to peer pressure.

Damn straight man. Don’t let his attitude affect your decisions, you know what you are doing is right for you and your overall health. Keep up what your doing, I can see from what you said that your work ethic is strong. Something I wish my friends had.
