So, one of my 2010’s New Year’s resolutions was to finish nutrition school and blog about what I’ve learned over the years. Being an obese teenager was something that changed me very early on in the realm of health and fitness. As a child and teen I was fed the SAD (Standard American Diet), which ‘allowed’ me to weigh in at a little over 200lbs as a 16 year old. Needless to say, that was a devastating blow when I got on the scale only to see what a disgrace I was and that I had finally hit 200 lbs. Not only that, but I literally was ALL fat. I had no neck at that time.
That single day in 1996 was and still is the biggest turning point of my entire life. On that day I realized I MUST CHANGE or risk always being made fun of, depressed, physically limited, self- hating and possibly face an early death. It really hadn’t occurred to me until that day just how serious obesity and unhealthy eating habits was and still is for millions of people around the globe.
I thank God for that day! I thank God that even though I would never take diet pills again now, being that I know what to do and what true health is, that my Dad took me to the weight doctor to help me lose weight initially. That appointment was what quite literally gave me a new lease on life! I’d like to share over 14 years of personal knowledge and life experience on this blog to help anyone that TRULY wants a new lease on their health, fitness level and overall standard of living.
I would like to challenge you with “The Time to Change is NOW, for You May Not Have Tomorrow!”
