Sponsorship

In the middle of my walk this morning my radio app stopped working, but because I was also using an app to track my walk I could not rest it.  Silence is not a friend to someone with an imagination like mine.  I found myself alone with my thoughts no longer did I have "Eye of the Tiger" pushing my through the next step.  I almost stopped and turned around sad and disappointed it the progress, but then as if it were manna for my mind I had a epiphany.  I want to start my own line of clothing for the athletic fat person(if that term is offensive to you just pretend I said big boned or husky).  The name of my company would be "One Ton Production".  I know it is amazing!  Really though I have spent the last few weeks going through all the sites for runners and go figure all of their models are small framed people.  Even if I lost every bit of fat on my body I would still weigh hover 250 lbs.  So what am I to do about fancy running shoes or cool clothing.  I know that I can not be the only one out there that wants to look as good in my workout clothes as the 150lb guy on the treadmill next to me.  I feel that everything I can buy right now to run in is designed to allow me to blend-in not standout like others.  I want bright yellow shoes with glow in the dark writing on them.  I hate wearing black and gray like it is the only 2 colors that there is enough of to make a shirt and shorts for me.  I may not be a pro athlete with limitless resources to people that can design outfits for me but I am a regular guy.  I need someone to take a chance on me like a pro-scout on a prospect with a questionable past.  I will succeed! I am not going to quit! I know that companies are always looking for a spokesperson why not pick someone that can be followed through the process.  It is more fun to watch someone win then to hear about it later.  If any of you are like me I am very cynical at this point in my life.  Everybody promises easy and quick and then they show you a before and after that really does not look anything alike.  My wife tells me I am an opportunist well she is right like usual. The opportunity is out there for some one to sponsor me in this journey. For all that judge me for selling my self like meat to the highest bidder I say you try and buy a size 13 6E wide pretty running shoe.....
