Making better decisions

Recently I've challenged myself to make better decisions as it relates to my health and nutrition. My family has a history of heart related issues and I don't want to be the next. I have spent most of my life feeling like I have plenty of time to dedicate myself into eating better so nothing tragic would happen to me. Well, I've waited long enough. I just joined My Fitness Pal and I love it! I look forward to sharing my journey and reading about yours as well. Take care and here's to making better decisions. Cheers

    Here's to making better choices!! :drinker:
  • Best of luck to you. My moment was when my mom was diagnosed with diabetes. My dad has had it since I was in high school (I'm 31). I started out 80 pounds overweight, now about 50. By the grace of God, reality check moments can last into real action.

    I try to never toally deprive myself, but at the same time not give in to all the temptations. I plan my cheat, and I make it very good. I don't just eat junk because it's lying around. If I am gonna go all out, it's gonna be something of my choosing, and it's gonna be AWESOME!!!

    I have 3 main reasons why I'm here.

    After finding out my older sister was ill, I FINALLY figured out that no one was going to take care of me...but ME! duh.
    I want to live my second 50 BETTER.
    I want to squeeze in as many years as I can with my loving husband.

    It's truely amazing what it takes for us to wake up, right?

    Good luck with your journey! Stay active on the forum, it's a great source of support.
