Me and my goal..

I want to start by saying I've always been a shy person, because of that i never went into any activities and so i sat in my room and got big.. especially when puberty hit. a year ago i made the choice enough was enough when i reached 300 lbs... i started to eat a little better and was going to a gym with a trusted friend and went down to 278 lbs. that friend moved and i was hospitalized for an injury received trying to make sure a neighbor got out during a house fire... it showed me how out of shape i was and how horrible i had become, yet the feeling of helping people drove me into an old dream of joining the army. after a month of down time from injury i have finally been cleared to work out again but i feel I've lost my motivation when i went back up to 288 lbs. My dream is to one day be able to wear the tan beret and call myself a RANGER (Medical) and I'm in the process of re-motivating myself to go back to the gym and keep pushing until i can achieve that dream. Thats my story
