    Wow! Kinda puts some of my little petty concerns and obstacles into a much better perspective. thanks for sharing.

    I thought the same thing! Like, "Wow... and I complain because I 'can't lose the weight' when I've got two healthy legs and a body that can handle a workout, I just CHOOSE to put it off some days". I'm gonna save this video and make myself re-watch it every now and again to remind myself that my "excuses" are stupid and if a 300 pound disabled vet can make such an amazing change, I have no reason to not be determined and make my own changes!
