Goodafternoon my soulmate, friends, buddies and readers,

Do you know what it feels like, to stand on a ledge, spread your wings and take to the sky, to feel truly and fully free to soar on the wind of life?

I have been overweight my whole life, i was the girl that had her period every week in highschool, i was the one you never saw outside, the one in hiding, the one that thought crossing the street would take a car to get there... When i was pregnant with my boy, i had such thick feet, i could hardly walk, and that took about 5 years to subside... I did diet though, but still i hated to exercise and i hated anything that made my heartrate go up in any way... then i had pneumonia and my doctor told me i had astma, and i got the prescription medicine for that... the moment i got better and started using the medicine my life changed, suddenly i could breathe, and i realized that i was longing for breath my whole life, how was i to know that that was not how life was supposed to be?
i developed (sadly) a new problem with my foot, but i started at the gym last oktober anyways, trying my best to do all that i could, without stressing my foot too much. I got stronger, i lost some more weight. Then three week back i got special soles in my shoes. after two weeks of agonizing pains, suddenly i woke up without pain.

Today the gym was closed, and i had to think of an alternative to work out. I decided to go jogging, and jog up the mountain. (yes this is Holland, so a mountain for us would be like a small knoll for most of the world, but still quite a climb and total 2-3 km from my house to the top.
I would start and see where my legs would take me...

I am king of the mountain!


Not only did i make it, i also made it back, and my breathing and legs allowed me to go even further if i wanted to, but my foot being only one week without pain for a long long time, i did not want to stress any further. so 1 hour and 50 minutes of jogging (including a small break at the summit, rocky style)

i ran, felt so liberated and free, i was the master of all the muscles in my body, and my body was ready to be commanded, ready to listen to everything i wanted it to do. Man, that felt sooooo good you cannot imagine!

For all you who know what i am talking about, what the he-di-ho, why didn't you tell me!!!

For all you who are working on it trying to get there, work hard! give everyday everything you got and you'll get there!!!

For all those not ready yet, but amazed with what i wrote. Remember i was the one last in line, the one you did not see in the street, preferably hiding beneath a rock. I was YOU!!!


have a nice day, and live your life in freedom!!!

Very inspirational, Maud! Thank you so much for sharing this. We all have mountains to climb, literal or just in our heads. I too was at a point where you might as well have asked me to walk to the moon as to walk down the street. Now, I LOVE that elevated heart rate! Very well done climbing the mountain. Only downside to your journey was that you ran out of mountain to climb before you were done. How amazing is THAT?! :)
