Persevering for a better life

Please note I’ve added some commentary above about the ads Google displays here.


Do you have your own personal site about your transformation from fat to phat? If so, and you’d like to be linked from here, drop me a line with your URL and I’ll add it to the links page I haven’t made yet.


As you’ve no doubt heard before, each day is the beginning of the rest of your life. Knowing this, let me ask you a question: What does the rest of your life look like? Is it a long and vibrant one, filled with good health, joy, and love? Do you see yourself playing with your children, your grandchildren, or even your great grandchilden?

Or does the future look a little darker, made joyless by time spent on the sidelines because you can’t join in, wishing like hell you’d done something—anything—while you still could? Do you see a little Ebenezer Scrooge in yourself, someone ending up dead before their time because of the way they lived?

I have good news.

It’s never too late to change, to take charge of your life right now and do something to ensure a bright future. You can release the person you know lives inside you, let him or her out and show the whole damn world what living is all about, if you so desire. But it requires something from you. Are you willing to give it?

It takes time.

It takes effort.

Most of all, though, it takes perseverance—the dedication TO yourself, the love OF yourself, and the trust IN yourself to make a commitment and raise your standards. So often we want things instantly, because in our fast-paced society we’ve gotten used to quick fixes. I wish I could tell you that you can change your outward appearance in no time, but I’d be lying if I did.

I’ll tell you this, however: if you start living like the person you see in your head—the person you want to be —you can become that person. I already know you have what it takes to transform, most people have that innate ability. The question is this: do you believe me?

Are you willing to do it, to change yourself for the better, or would you rather close the browser down and go get another Oreo from the bag hidden in the closet? The choice, as always, is yours.

Remember, I’ve been down the path already. I know what it’s like, and I know what’s possible. What do you choose to do today?


Live for your life today, but eat and exercise for your life tomorrow.
