We take life for granted

So yesterday I posted about how I am struggling with weight loss and trust me when I tell you that a fire has REALLY been lit under me. Today I found out the reasons why people around me where having problems with loved ones. My friend who had been mourning her sisters loss, and my best friends husband had felt like he almost had a heart attack. Today when out of the blue I decided to ask why these things were happening to them I got a reality check that really hit hard. My friend's sister had passed away last week just out of the blue. She had a seizure which then led to a heart attack. When I asked her how old she was she said 35, and she had left a 3 year old behind. I was shocked by how young she was and took in account that I just turned (30). My friend said that they had been after her for a while to eat better and to try to work out but she never listened. She consumed soda pop on a daily basis and as she told me all of this I was so shocked because that's exactly how I am now. I kid you not I had a soda pop in hand while she told me this and I immediately went to go throw it all down the drain. Then my bffs hubby was feeling like he was having heart problems like if it would stop for a moment and it would hurt. Turns out his body was reacting to some chemical that was in his hair stuff to help make it grow faster and he got rid of all that stuff and started eating healthy and is going natural. Moral of my story is, don't wait til your health has gone bad to do something about it. Do it now! No more "I'll start tomorrow", start now! Love yourself as you are and don't take your life and health for granted! Now is the time people, now!
