I believe that in every single one of us, lay the same desires; to be loved, to be wanted and accepted, and to dive headfirst and mouth open into a pool of milk chocolate using a giant Krispy Kreme donut as a life preserver and giant Twizzler floaties while air-filled bags of chips float lazily around you.

Just me? Oho,  YOU LIARS.

But for real, who DOESN'T want to indulge? Especially when life is seriously smacking you in the balls- or punching you in the boobs as the case may be.

We have all been through our own personal hells- they don't need to be compared and we don't need to be judged. We need to be applauded and celebrated for surviving.

Could we have done things better? Probably. Can we go back? No! Was there a manual on how to succeed at this thing called life? Heck no!

No one can ever walk the path we have walked, all of us. It will NEVER be the same. And I just want to put out there that as long as everyone keeps striving and trying- you are succeeding.

You don't have to win the dietbet. You are here trying. You are out there, drinking water, adding steps to your day, trying new foods, working out how to make a difference. Kicking A$$ and taking NAMES!

That's incredible! You know how easy it would be to quit and retreat to our comfortable place of being uncomfortable? How EASY and cheap it would be to quit the gyms, forget the higher quality snacks and groceries and splurge that $10 on chicken mcnuggets instead?

How EaSy would it be to jump in a pool of milk chocolate and throw it all away for the momentary satisfaction of a taste, or one hour not at the gym, a little less sweat, a few more minutes sleeping in...

Not to say that one slip up means doom, but one retreat, one failure is so easy to slide into two, and easier then to slide into three and four and five, and soon you aren't retreating you are backing the hell up and waving that arm at the truck man telling him to pour another 20 gallons of chocolate in because heck, you've already failed so why not fail big?

Don't fail big! Win big! Fail very little!

GO OUT THERE YOU GUYS AND TELL THAT MILK CHOCOLATE TRUCK DRIVER GUY TO KEEP HAULING BECAUSE YOU AREN'T HAVING ANY OF IT!

DON'T QUIT!

But if he is hot I mean, at least get his number, opportunities you know?
