Thankful for my health.

I'm thankful for my health.
*Today is a great day to be thankful for such a powerful thing. I may not "look" physically fit compared to a common stereotype; being skinny. But, under this layer of fat I truly am a fairly healthy person. A lot of people tell me not to put myself down by calling myself fat. I'm not putting myself down, I'm facing facts. I'm working my ass off, literally, to fit into that common stereotype of being skinny. I want to know what it feels like to be under a size 12 of which the last time that happened was fifth grade. Though, after my accident in '07 that size just increased steadily from '07-'09. I decided I would take initiative and get into shape. My highest weight was 360 pounds. I got all the way down to 243, I lost 117 pounds in about 9 months of continuous gym time. Well, I've gained about 47 pounds back. (Due to a lot of circumstances, though I won't blame it on a single thing because this is life, and my weight loss is a change cycle, google change cycle and I know everyone has gone through it.) But, we're all human and our biggest goal in life is progression. I work out 5-7 days a week. I eat fairly healthy and I have even started meditation - it truly has helped me to see who I am and why I'm doing what I'm doing. Things could be a lot worse, and things happen for a reason. So, call me what you must but know that it won't phase me. :)
