Scary weight loss place

So every time I start going to the gym with renewed dreams of losing weight, the thought that comes to mind is ... how long before it comes true.
Not this time though. This time I walked in with the knowledge that its not gonna be easy, it will take time and patience is the virtue to focus on. So I looked around; there were these buff instructors and chiseled regulars and these really hard working (I mean 5 miles a day types) packing 250 lbs or more. Hold on. 250 lbs or more? Double checked. I was right. So now the thought that comes to mind is ... if these guys, after working so hard cant, what makes me think I can.
For those reading this and familiar with my old adage ... why take the trouble to climb up the hill, when eventually you need to come down anyway :D
