I shared this with someone else today, I thought I would share with "all y'all" (that's everyone plus everyone else)
2 years ago i injured my self pretty bad dead lifting 450 lbs I crushed L1, 2 and 3 discs; 2 and 3 pressing in on my spinal cord; also separated my left SI joint. My left foot was pretty much useless and I was dragging my leg behind me; I thought I was never going to walk right again never mind run. 2 years before that I shattered my right knee cap in Afghanistan. I maintained weight the best I could with diet alone. I pushed and tested my self every day. They put me on a series of prednisone and I shot from 230 to 300 lbs. Despite all that, I kept my head up and now I'm running, doing burpees and I'm closer to my goal weight than I ever have since the year 1999.
The morale of this story is that you never give up, never. No matter the obstacle, keep moving...no matter how long it takes... I know it's your personal battle and I can't know how you feel exactly...what I do know is that we are all stronger than we think and we will never know unless we try and keep trying

@suzyqtep and Taurielfan thank you for the kudos but the only kudos I need is for just 1 person to read it and be inspired to keep moving and I'll take more than 1. They're are plenty of warriors out there that have lost more and achieved more than I and I'm inspired by them. ie the veteran that lost both his legs in Iraq and made it to the cover of men's health, the single mom of x number of kids that has a full time job and makes time to get that work out...they are the ones that those kudos go to because they inspired me to try to achieve that
