MY UPHILL BATTLE

submitted by: Anonymous

My boyfriend Michael is very athletic.

I was feeling terrible about my body and how out of shape I was.  Knowing this, Michael planned a romantic afternoon outside.  After cuddling by the lake we decided to ride bikes.  The path was steep and uphill.

I was getting very frustrated trudging my way uphill as Michael easily sped along.  Finally I couldn’t take it and burst into tears.  Michael refused to let me give up and stuck by my side until I made it up the hill.  After that he put me on the back of his bike and rode me the rest of the way back.

It made me feel accomplished and realize how much I loved him. Now we regularly ride bikes together, without the tears!
