Use it as fuel

For anyone out there that has ever struggled with weight and/or self image there are undoubtably moments that are more difficult then others. I personnally have come to despise it when people call me "big guy". My wife went through a situation today where some of her co-workers were a little harsh in what they said to her and how they said it. I felt for her at that moment, it is not easy to be brought face to face with the fact that you are not the person you once were or think you can be.
I have to admit I did not do a great job at making her feel better and maybe I should do better job at that in the future but I did point out that it is times like this that we have to cling to and remember in order to stay focused on the road ahead. When she got home from work she hit the road for her workout, which she says was not enough, but in time we will both work up to more challenges. I'm sure she was thinking about how great she will look in a few months.
Take it from me people, my wife is a knockout when she is at her best.
We both ate a decent dinner together, shout out to KFC grilled meals, but have to do a better job on the meal to meal process. It's not easy at all. I'm beginning to remember how much of a constant commitiment it was when I was in good shape several years ago. I never really thought about it all that much since then, however there really were a lot of things that I did not indulge in for a long while. We both have to start knocking some things off of our list of foods that we normally would consume.
All of that being said I feel that we are on the road to getting to where we want to be. The problem is we are still only a couple blocks from the house and it's all to easy to turn back. "Stay the course" right? It's all about how bad you want to get to where you are going and I know I want it bad, as does my wife. We will get there. Hopefully tomorrow we can be better then we were today.
