If someone held a gun to my head and told me they were going to kill me, you had better believe I’m going to fight them. I might lose, but there is no way I’m going to just sit there and let myself get shot.

If I was attacked by a grizzly bear, I’d wrestle it with all my strength and kick and punch and gouge and fight.

If I was clinging to a rock ledge, hundreds of feet off ground, and if I slipped I’d fall to my death. My hands would have to break off before I’d let go.

I am willing to fight for my survival in any of these cases.

Then, why I ask you, am I so willing to eat and drink and slowly kill myself in the name of food that tastes good for just a moment?

Fuck that, let’s fight. I’m willing to fight for my life, my health and my happiness.

From 360 lbs becoming a Warrior.

The journey has been long with many traps and falls, but we're moving again and this time I'm training for a Spartan Race.
