Chad, How is it going?
Today I was introduce to Fatman Chronicles by its creator Chad. He simply asked me do I write and if I do I should check out his blog page.
Now its no accident that Chad told me about this blog I am truly a fat man.
I thought about this for a moment a way to put my thoughts in writing where others can read them and be inspired or inspire me.
Its like I was destined to express myself on this blog, all my life I’ve been the big guy in the room. In elementary school I was Big Larry, in high school I was Big Tim and in college the nick name was hip I was called DaddyBig and now since I’m over 50yrs of age its just the Big Man.
So you fans of Fatman Chronicles get ready to laugh, to be motivated maybe even feel sorry for me. A true heavy weight is on the scene stay tuned.
Sorry my post is so long! Your post really made me think… 
Wow… thought provoking post… The image here of the fit man inside of the really big guy is powerful, sobering and very thought provoking… wow. I don’t think that your post here is just limited to us “fat folks” though. I believe it touches most people in many ways. I think the ones that go far beyond & walk the walk they truly determine to… are the minority. My humble words to your readers: It is so important to change & wake up & feel & live & move… move… move… until you wake up one day & “wake up” to find you have become like some (I’m one) who is very limited in mobility. I am fighting to get my health, energy & mobility back. I cherish the thought of once again just being able to walk & go & do things without thought of the limitations. Move, live & do it now before it becomes even more challenging to get yourself healthy again. I wish I had not let my work & a million other excuses take precedence over my own well-being & health. When I hear Chad going to the gym every day & committing himself so strongly to change in so many ways, it thrills me for him, reminds me how thankful I am again to be his Mom… but it also challenges me to keep committing & to not accept my own excuses anymore! I hope it challenges you in that way as well…
As far as Christian paradigms etcetera… I know you love God, I know your heart & character… not worried a bit. All the things contributed to Christianity aren’t necessarily Christianity anyway. So much judgment & craziness abounds in the name of all religions. But Christianity is founded upon the true loving amazing God of the Bible. I won’t go off anymore here because I think as long as questioning is combined with seeking & reading the Bible… not just the world’s view… the truth will make itself known. I know the depth of honor & character you possess. I love & respect you as a son as well as a man. And I am so proud of who you are. I am thankful you are focusing on your health & getting this piece of the puzzle in tune but wow what is inside of you now & I see you continuing to develop… You are destined for great things. Yes I am your Mom… but it’s true! I also know the depth of God you have within you. You’ll iron out the details…
I had to say one more thing… your pushing yourself through to that 30 minutes and then beyond to 45 minutes… wow… I read that & I felt like I was there too. I could hear you pushing yourself & challenging yourself & just not allowing yourself to back off. It inspired me but even more than that, it made me tear up because that is the stuff of greatness. That pushing beyond what we even knew we could & what we certainly wouldn’t have unless you made a strong resolve, an absolute commitment to yourself to do so. Self coaching to the point of wanting to slap the coach in your face (like Jill on Biggest Loser – just not a big fan of hers lol…) But you are right, we have to do that for ourselves don’t we? I have always done that when it had to do with work, but when it comes to exercise and physical labor… not so much. Wow… Excellent job Chad! 45 minutes, YOU ROCK!
