In 2015, after years of slowly changing what I ate and drank, I was stunned to realize I had lost nearly 150 pounds. You read that correctly. I rarely stepped on a scale or exercised during that time. My focus was purely on what, when and how I was consuming food.<\/p>
\nAfter that, my mindset really changed. I wasn\u2019t destined to live in an overweight body. I could change it. I HAD changed it. Now, I consciously and proactively live my journey toward a healthier self. I want to reduce my prescription drugs, and hopefully jump off the diabetes train. I need to be more active, and actually TRY to lose pounds. How many, you ask? My goal is another 100 lbs, but I like to think in terms of \u201cthis month\u201d and the next \u201c5 lbs.\u201d<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t be easy or quick. I\u2019ve been overweight, or chubby, or fluffy, or whatever euphemism you prefer to use, all my life. When I get overwhelmed, I will falter. I will choose to eat that triple chocolate ice cream, or my favorite bleu cheese bacon burger, or even the dreaded french fry. (Let\u2019s be honest, here. It will be french FRIES. Who eats a single fry?)<\/p>\n

They say sharing the experience is helpful. It\u2019s true. Now, I want to help others. Inspire others. Share frustrations and celebrate victories. Won\u2019t you come along? Subscribe to my newsletter, leave comments. Send me an email, and join me the social networks. I absolutely want to hear from you! Pull up a screen and let\u2019s talk about it!<\/p>\n
