Hi friends! I even have some new friends who I have not yet met! I took a break from dietville and have started losing some weight. Ironically instead of feeling healthy I’ve felt sick! One more path of irritating illness to get through! Next week I’m having my gallbladder out. This might be why I’ve felt crappy for some time! Fever, chills belly pain! I do hope that this will be it! I automatically blame any sickness on depression or anxiety. Yet, I’m not feeling depressed or anxious! I know that worrying isn’t trusting God and I’m just done with it! Our health is so very affected by what we eat and do. Why does it take me so long to believe it? We have to take care of our bodies. No one else can do it for us. Obesity contributes to so many health problems. Just 30 pounds puts us at risk. If you’re like me, I knew I was over weight but” not that bad”. Yea, right! I’m not as fat as when I was on bed rest holding 40 pounds of fluid with a baby in my gut!
he he, I’m just starting to understand my old way of thinking. I also see why there are some of you buddy slimmers who only have 10 or 20 pounds to lose and are concerned. I used to look at things only esthetically when that’s a piss poor reason to want to be healthy. Some minor health problems that have not allowed me to”feel good” after knowing how it feels to “feel good” (exercise, energy to keep up with life). When that’s gone, it sucks. I am 5-3 216 pounds. There is no way that this is being kind to my poor body! Now that I really know this, I’m excited to feel better and exercise regularly again. There is no guarantee that we will get the chance to “get healthy” again my friends. We have to just do it.
So, here’s to you!! GET HEALTHY………. while you still can!! After I recover from surgery I’m coming back to kick my own butt! It’s not just about pounds and inches though, we have to keep our insides healthy! there are consequences or rewards for our choices.
I know I have to remember that. Now I’ll get off of my soap box.

Have a Happy Day!
