Two years ago, I received a wakeup call.
For many months I suffered with excruciating pain that was not diagnosed until I was admitted into the hospital to have Emergency surgery to have my Gallbladder removed as well as additional surgery due to complications. Until then, I had never been in the hospital or had been in an operating room.
I had taken my body and health for granted.
I haven’t seriously exercised since I was in Grade 12 Gym Class. When you’re working everyday and tired, who wants to work out? Occasional exercise and events provided me with enough exercise or so I thought…
You’ve just home from work and you’re tired. Who wants to cook? Order takeaway! A lifetime of poor eating habits which included very little fruits and vegetables but did include processed, high fat, meat in every meal and high salt. Throughout childhood and into my adult life I believed that vegetables came from tins, takeout was the norm and used so many condiments that they were the focus of the meal!
I realized that I was overweight and wanted to lose weight so like many others I tried the latest fad diets, bought the books and drank the concoctions. Quite often I lost the weight but later on, gained back the weight plus extra. I was frustrated an angry at myself for allowing this to happen.
The one day I came across a Weight Loss website. Within the website and blog itself, a forum. It was then that I quickly realized that this was a community of people who were knowledgeable on many different health related topics. A friendly group who was non judgmental, supportive and many of whom, had been where I was currently at.
I have begun to make many changes in my lifestyle, diet and am motivated to make my life healthier. This brings me to this point… right here, right now.
I am ready to change. I want to be healthy and I want to live my life. Most importantly, I’m doing this for no one but MYSELF.
What are you waiting for? Do it for you, do it NOW.
Join me on my journey….

Facebook. Often thought of a big time waster and not great for the procrastinators in us, it is marketed as a networking community!
I’m surprised but I will admit that Facebook actually taught me something about myself today. I learned something from one of their ”applications”. It came through “Social Me” (from what I […]

Eating when read in a dictionary refers to the consumption of food for nutrition. Consumption yes but at an intense rate. Once again, our lifestyles dictate what food we are consuming but also the amount of time we consume it in.

When I was growing up, breakfast consisted of arguing with Mom and telling her I wasn’t hungry. I was told to sit there and eat every Shreddie until the bowl was empty. Her family lived hand to mouth and many times their family had very little to eat. To this day, I feel nauseated at […]
