The final, but no less important piece of the blueprint: I no longer hide from life, though some days, I gotta admit, it’s a tempting thought. Now that I don’t have the shackles of fat holding me back, I make sure that I bring my spirit and psyche into the equation by seeking out things that would have been unthinkable two years ago. Whether it’s hopping a plane to Florida for a weekend of biking and kayaking, co-hosting DDP Radio with Diamond Dallas Page, or suddenly finding myself airborne over Lake George in a parasail sling…I’m committed to living fully and in color.
