I did not realized i was living my life in bondage. My body was/is my cage. My fat is a leash. Once i started losing my little walks are like freedom. My body screams get up move dance it craves it my mind say no remember walking hurts dancing causes pain. I fight my sub conscious everyday and each time its a sweet surprise I can move i can walk. I never knew how much i missed it. Mentally i wait for the pain and i approch each movement timidly. But the pain never comes so i do more but my leash hold me back still i realize im not ready my journey is still not complete but i reached a new level. So tomorrow i will fight to walk again enjoy the surprise of no pain again and walk a few steps futher. My body is my canvas it is no longer my cage my fat is my clay each movement shaping and twisting it to chisel a better me. My movement is my freedom.

I played a game of football catch with my son today we even had a jogging contest. He knows my goal is to play a real game of basketball with him and his father.
