New Direction

I started this blog mainly to bring attention to how people often put down overweight people and talk badly about them.  I wanted people to realize that we are people too and human and have feelings even though we are overweight.  Well apparently God has another plan for this blog.  I have been overweight most of my life and severely overweight for the last 10 plus years and it is starting to take a toll on my health so I after much prayer and seeking advice of my close friends and family have decided to embark on a journey to restore my health and you all will get to come along with me.  I am hoping that my adventure, determination and success will help others who might need to lose weight for their health.  Trust me though even if I lose a lot of weight and get healthier I will never look down on people who are overweight or think any less of them, because I understand what a difficult thing it is to leave with and to change.  I am in phase one of the journey now, where I am changing my eating habits and trying to break my addiction to diet pop and getting out and walking at least 5 days a week.  So far this week I have started off well but it is only Monday.  This dreaded heat does not make the task of walking easy, but I know that for each time I accomplish my daily goal of walking, God will honor and bless that with better health for me.  A friend told me a few days ago that I seemed committed this time to getting healthier, but I am not committed I am determined, I am looking straight ahead at the finish line and not letting my eyes wander to the left or the right.  I hope you all enjoy the upcoming posts and I hope that my journey down the path to better health can inspire others to do whatever it is they can little by little to improve their health everyday.  We owe it to ourselves and those we love to take care of ourselves and be as healthy as can be.
