I realize my addiction was comfort.  My insatiable desire for comfort led me to eat when I wasn’t hungry and sit still when I needed to move. Here are 3 points that confirmed I was addicted to comfort.

1. I knew something must be done, but did nothing.
2. People that love me sufferred a little each time they needed me.
3. Felt a little shame a lot of the time.

“There is nothing wrong with comfort except during the moments in your life when more is demanded.”

I was on CNN “American Morning” with the other athletes.  We were each interviewed by Dr. Sanjay Gupta in Central Park. Check out the clip from the show at this link: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/health/2010/01/12/triathalon.participants.one.gupta.cnnparticipants.one.gupta.cnn. Here are 3 points that confirm that Sanjay Gupta is an impressive dude.

1. He started medical school at 16 years old.
2. He performs brain sugery every Monday.
3. While in Iraq for CNN, he performed emergency surgery on U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians.

“Extraordinary people are everyday people that give their best to every moment everyday.”

I can’t get where I want to go with you in my life.  Its over. Its not you. You’re perfect.  Its me.  Goodbye McRib. Here are 3 points that confirmed it was time to say goodbye.

2. Filled my senses, but emptied my soul
3. Made me want to go to sleep instead of wake up.

“Everyone has to say goodbye to someone sometime”.
