My Why

Everyone has there own reason's as to WHY they want to lose weight and/or get fit. For me, I wanted to feel comfortable in my own skin, I wanted my kids to have a HEALTHY mom, I was in a new relationship (although, he loves me regrardless), I wanted to LIVE a LONG, HAPPY, HEALTHY and PRODUCTIVE life. I couldn't even lay down and breath normally, I was easily winded from the simplest movements. I feared what was going to happen to me if I didn't change. Obesity is a serious matter. So many problems come from being obese, you have a higher risk for gallstones, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides, coronary artery disease (CAD), a stroke, and sleep apnea, among other conditions. On top of all that, I didn't like the way I felt about myself or looked in clothes, I had NO energy and I was depressed. I knew that if I wanted any of that to change it was up to me. Nobody else could do it for me. Like I've said in earlier post, I'm not where I want to be yet, but I feel SO much better 55lbs. lighter. I can breathe! Main things is my kids will have their mom! This is a LIFESTYLE change, something that I will live by forever. I'm thankful that fast food now makes me sick to my stomach and that I can't handle drinking soda. Those are 2 of the WORST thing we can put in our bodies. Healthy is out there we just have to have the will power to change and to stick with it. It is possible. What is your why?
