Hi I am Mark in Philadelphia. This is the beginning of the rest of my life! Heath and Sobriety are the priority. Without them, I have nothing.
I am embarking on a new career after a series of life events that set me back 10 years from where I think I should be. It took 7 1/2 to get out of bed and backin my feet. I completed my Mastes degree and am interviewing for professional positions. My weight is definitely a factor. I can tell people about the weight that I lost so far. But first impressions are important. I must look healthy. This is especially true if I am to hand our healthcare advice to patients.
So, I am committed to making the life changes necessary to be the best that I can be.
But I need supporters for this journey. Thus I joined this app and community. If anyone is in my area, then let's support each other I am looking for fellow FP'ers to do some activities with.
Thanks for reading.

    Congratulations on the amazing progress so far. As you continue your journey, don't forget to be kind to yourself. Pushing yourself is fine, but only up to a point.

    Congratulations on being your new lifestyle! Its not easy at first, but it truly worth it! You seem to be on the right track and have your long term goals in mind. Best of luck to you !!
  • Best of luck to you. We are on this journey together. Health and eating right I'm in 7 months but sobriety I'm in three and a half years. Both are one day at a time and food esoecially one cookie is too many and one thousand cookies is never enough!!!! Be good to yourself.

    Hi Katelyn. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Yes ODAAT is my motto. What else do we have. The past is gone and the future is not written. The present is a gift and we must use it properly; one right decision at a time.
