Finding Yes (After 100 Pounds of No)

When you are overweight life says NO a lot. Your body says NO; NO you can't fit into that; NO you can't do that, NO that hurts..and, your brain says NO even more, NO that's too hard, NO that's embarrassing, NO ...Even if I summoned the courage to take action then the "experts" would say NO. NO you can't have that, NO that's cheating, NO, NO, NO… And then would come the worst NO of all...NO I can't change, not really. Until the day I Found YES. Copyright 2009-2019 All Rights Reserved
