Finding a reason to train….
If you, like I did at one time have decided to take up running, swimming or just physical fitness then find yourself a reason to do so because if you do not find a reason, you will fail.
It is true.
You will fail.
My best half marathon time was logged in at 2:46, this personal best was achieved at the Royal Victoria Marathon in 2006 when I was running the race in memory of my grandmother and grandfather. This reason, the decision to run it for them motivated me to contunie through the tough training days, it gave me the motavation to hobble my way across the finsh line even though I was injured. And at the end it gave me a gratification that I was doing something for them, it was in the end 21km of memories.
Now your reason dose not have to be profound, just give yourself some sort of motivation to move forward, your body can only do half of the work, your mind will be your greatest barrier in achieving your goals. Finding a reason to train, something personal to you and only to you will push your legs that extra mile, give you that extra push when you feel you can’t go on….
Oink, Oink my friends…

About: The Piggy
I am Janet. 26 year old former Canadian Fatty. Who waddles one step at a time.
I hate the term “If I did you can do it” That term pisses me off….
The only quote worth mentioning is “The miracle isn’t that I finished, the miracle is that I had the courage to start.”
I was 193lbs In Septmeber and now 155lbs. I battle the war of the buldge every moment of everyday of my life.
I do not diet. Instead I embrace Posititve Lifestyle Changes and share this idea with an
yone who with listen to my rant. I believe that there is a healthier person in every fat person, buried somewhere under the fat.
I am basically you. I am that fat kid that always got picked on at school. I am that fat friend that would hide in the deepest corner of the bar, hoping not to draw any attention to myself. I am that fat girl that turned into a women at some point who still sat in her room late at night, and cried myself to sleep because I felt so bad about the way that I looked.
I am not a doctor, nor am I a nutriontionst, I am not even a trainer. I am just someone who has been where you are finding yourself right now. Every step of your journey, every mile that you walk I have walked it. If you let me I will not just stand by you as a friend, or someone to look up to, I will stand by you hand-in-hand as a fellow fattie. I will listen, but most of all I will share with you what worked for me, what didn’t work and all of the struggles I had to go through to get where I am today.
I believe in bluntness in my blogs, I will never sugar coat anything. I call everything for what it is…I was fat….I hate words like “chubby” or “plump” those words are the fat persons scape goat and I use them rarely.
I am sure I will offend people with my honesty; but to this I say too bad, and place a certain finger up in the air. This is who I am, this is how I write… with honesty…
Oink, Oink my friends…….
This piggy on negative comments…..
I am the creator, the writer, the “boss” of this blog. I will not post negative comments and reserve the right to delete these posts. Basically, this blog at the end of the day is a way for me to communicate, and vent frustration with my fellow fatties. I embrase postive lifestyle changes, and encourage people to do the same. I will however accept constructive critisism (meaning non-douche-baggy-posts) and welcome open debate, I will not subject myself nor my readers to any negative comments. I am awesome, my readers are awesome, and deleting negative comments is my way of keeping this blog that way.
No weight loss blog is ever complete without a before and after pic, so here is this Piggys.
June 2008 peak of Fatness. 193lbs

Piggy's little Blog 
Heya Janet, I was doing some health/weight loss blog surfing and found my way here.
Awesome job on the weight loss!
I’m right there with ya about keeping your goals and reasons for training out right in front of you. When I forget why I’m (in theory) working so hard, I falter and slide back into a whole lotta nuthin’. But, when I keep my reasons out in front of me and remind myself of them constantly, my training and my nutrition go so much better.
One of my tricks is keeping a bit sheet of paper up on my bedroom wall with weigh in goals, quotes, photos of how big I used to be, photos of guys’ physiques I admire (in the sense of if I work hard, I can look like that), and – of course – the obligatory photos of hot bikini babes. I make sure I pump up my iPod and stare at all of that long and hard before I go to the gym and it really gets me amped up.
