A Life Worth Weighting For - May 14th, 2013 by Donald McDermott

             

           - The good Lord gave you a body that can withstand most anything. It’s your mind you have to convince. – Vincent Lombardi




For me personally, no truer words have ever been spoken than the ones in the quote above. Forget torture chambers, forget red rooms, forget the DMV at lunchtime. For me the most dangerous place in the world is that moment when I become trapped inside my own head. I am and probably always will be the biggest obstacle in my life. I can turn the slightest negative into a huge crater for myself. Sad to say, but totally true. At least I can admit it…and I am trying really hard to move on from that. Having said that, I got some personal news today that I wasn’t ready for.



Not fair to say that it came out of nowhere…because the writing was on the wall…but at the same time you still hope it won’t happen. And then it did. In the past, bad news would result in me feeling sorry for myself, eating everything in sight, then finally falling asleep in front of the TV. Then I would get up the next morning, feel down on myself for my actions the day before…and I would eat everything in sight again…thus the pattern begins. So this time, I am on the phone with my best friend in the world, venting. It dawned on me that I was standing in my kitchen, opening and closing my refrigerator and cabinets while I was talking.



At that moment the pity train stopped in its tracks. I told Donna I had to get out of the house…and I forced myself to go out for my run. My goal is to get in at least two miles every day. Today….the evil voices in my head telling me I was worthless and I shouldn’t even bother….I pushed myself to run for two and a half. I was proud of myself. My former trainer and longtime friend Jonathan once told me that before you can change who you are you first have to break yourself of destructive old habits. I think I proved to myself today while the old feelings are still there, I am definitely strong enough to overcome them.

Until tomorrow!
