Jonathan Walsh's Journal, 13 May 15

Good morning on the mountain side my fellow climbers. Here's to hoping your Tuesday was tenacious & your Wednesday will be be full of "Will Power." Let's all take advantage of the opportunity to continue this journey of self discovery & improvement to the next level today. Get out there & try something new; a new food, a new workout; a new place to workout. Anything you think you need to keep you motivated & on the path to the peak.

This is long journey my friends, & in some ways, I guess it will never end; but that is nothing to fret over. This is the choice we have made to change our lives & correct the actions of our past. If we seek to be the person we want to be, we must expect to put in the effort to create that reality. That is not to say we can't have fun or enjoy the transformation; but on the flip side, there is a price to pay for climbing this mountain.

You pay in sweat. You pay by holding yourself accountable. You pay by being disciplined. You pay by being honest with yourself, which is sometimes painful. Yes the price seems high, but I suspect it will all be worth it. I'd pay anything right now, to not be the biggest person I know; the biggest person in every room I enter; & the biggest person everyone I know sees.

I've made good progress on my journey, but I am nowhere near finished gang. So as we continue our climb today, be new. Be bright & shiny at something today; even if you are the biggest new person in someone else's eyes. Let the world see the big you now, so when they see the changed you; they will respect the effort you put in, to build the you, you want to be. The you that was inside, but hidden from them.

Size is only a mindset. My scales might say I still weigh 390 pounds this morning, but my mentality knows I will weigh 200 when I stand on this peak. It's only a matter of time & math; when everybody else will get to see the new me that I have made my mind up to be.

Set your mentality to new today gang & let's go climbing!!!

Wow. Very encouraging words. Thank you. God bless on your expedition. I have been turning my views on myself around somewhat. I feel that the hole I dug for myself is an opportunity to show myself and those around me that anything is possible. What a great opportunity we have before us! Keep it up. Ashock34

Once again, thank you for your inspiring and motivating words. You are an excellent writer and can put into words what I often feel and especially what I need to hear! Yes, there is a lot of pain in this process...but as a butterfly emerges from its cocoon, the battle only makes it stronger.

I think I've got it - the idea that this is change I'm making is not temporary. I'm setting up non-food rewards for different goals. Things I've wanted to do, but I felt undeserving to do - so I didn't give myself permission to do them: Learn the musical keyboard - I love to sing and play music - haven't done it in decades.

Your word struck a chord with me today. Sometimes this can feel like such a long slog up the mountain. It helps to look at the progress that has already been made and appreciate that, use that to strengthen one's resolve to continue on this quest to the new you.
