Get Healthy World

This is all new to me. I am not familiar with blogging and am unsure of what it is all about but I do have something to say. This is a shout out to all of the people out there who are down and out about being unhealthy. Who have given up on getting healthy. For 10 years I was in a downward spiral of gaining weight yo yo dieting and trying everything on the market. From every "magic" pill to every infomercial out there to only get discouragement and let down. Finally with the help and support of my husband and son and a lot of hard work and the use of some free tools on the internet I have lost 104 lbs. I went from 242 lbs. to 138 lbs. and have kept it off for a year.

Please don’t lose hope but get up, get moving, and change your lifestyle. www.sparkpeople.com is a great free resource to help you with planning everything out there and tracking it all the only thing it can’t do is actually get you up off that couch or out of that chair or make you quit lying to yourself and others about what you have eaten. I am not downing anyone I have been there myself. Let me tell you the kudos you get from people that you haven’t seen in a while when they see you is amazing. It is not too late.

There is no sense in putting it off until tomorrow. Start now. Start today. Being unhealthy is addictive. Overeating is addictive just like drugs and alcohol. The difference is you have to eat to live. My journey by all means was not an easy one. My husband especially during the first few weeks thought of moving out. Ha! Ha! Because it was like a smoker giving up cigarettes. But if I can do it you can too. There have been several of my friends who have taken my lead and have dropped 50 -70 lbs. Just because we were lying to ourselves. We wanted there to be a "magical cure" out there the cure was with us the whole time.
