OK, try walking to the beat of "Come Alive" from The Greatest Showman and it's impossible not to smile (or sort of dance along the trail). I've never even seen the movie, but I think this song should be my theme song of this journey from being obese to being healthy and happy. Here are the lyrics. (Yes, I always hike to Broadway show tunes...)
You stumble through your days
Got your head hung low
Your skies' a shade of grey
Like a zombie in a maze
You're asleep inside
But you can shake away
'Cause you're just a dead man walking
Thinking that's your only option
But you can flip the switch and brighten up your darkest day
Sun is up and the color's blinding
Take the world and redefine it
Leave behind your narrow mind
You'll never be the same
Come alive, come alive
Go and ride your light
Let it burn so bright
Reaching up
To the sky
And it's open wide
You're electrified
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And you know you can't go back again
To the world that you were living in
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
