Entry 1

I would like to make this first entry short and sweet. Today, aug. 13th 2012, is my 22nd birthday. Today is also the first day after the closing ceramonies of the 2012 Olympics in London, England. I can easily say that I've been a fan of these games for as long as I can remember. Deep down I always wanted to be an Olympian myself, and year after year, slowly that dream slipped away and became something I never thought possible. I had no training in any Olympic sport and like all things time is more often than not, the enemy. Over the years, I gained weight along with a fathomless amount of self doubt and an equal lack of self worth. At the beginning of the 2012 games, I weighed in at 224 lbs and gaining. This here is my journey, this is my chance to shock the world. I will be an Olympian and nothing will stand in my way. Most will laugh, many may doubt, but I have the ability to make my life into everything I have always dreamed it could be. I never knew how to live that dream before. I refuse to let my body waste away. It's time I learned how to live out a dream and I hope I can succeed in my efforts to shock the world!
