This is why we do it...

in Success Stories
Ever sleep with no blankets because you are so overwhelmed that you are worried about suffocating
Ever feel like no one, absolutely no one cares about you, not family, not friends, not co-workers
Ever fail so hard at something, you doubt why you even tried it in the first place.
Ever wonder why you even get up in the morning
Ever look into your child's innocent eyes and think "They are better without me"

We do this so that we don't hurt anymore
We do this so that we can prove to ourselves that it can be done
We do this so that we can get our significant others love us more
We do this so that we can finally get the courage to get out of that abusive relationship
We do this so that we can get over the mental abuse we received from other kids which has been haunting us for decades
We do this so that we can play with our kids and actually enjoy it
We do this so that we can earn respect
We do this so that we can get strangers to flirt with you
We do this so that we can be complimented
We do this so that we don't second guess all those glances we get from strangers
We do this so that we can move furniture and enjoy the new comforts a redesigned room gives
We do this so that we can finally reach those dust bunnies which have been ignoring because its too much effort
We do this so that we can meet new people
We do this so that we can take selfies.... Don't ****ing hate.. We deserve it..
We do this for ourselves, because we ****ing deserve it...

We all Fail... It takes the heart of a champion to reach that goal.. But it takes more to keep fighting everyday.. Don't ****ing quit.. Don't let the set backs put you down.. Who ****ing cares if you gained some weight back..

I'm not the fastest
I'm not the strongest
I'm also not the overweight miserable person who sits on the couch anymore.
