in Introduce Yourself
HEY YALL!!! My name is Mandy. I am not a complete newbie here but I needed to introduce my NEW self. I have a new drive, attitude and plan this go round! I was very successful with it last time but need to make this one stick!

Me and my husband went to get life insurance. Got the blood work and then about a week later a call that scared the CRAP out of me
"Mrs.Cox your rate is going up bc they found something wrong with your blood work."
I almost passed out! I ran home got on the website for my results and found out that I was at risk of a heart attack bc my LDL levels were high. NOW as terrible as this sounds that actually made me relax a bit bc I was thinking the worst and also bc I KNOW this is manageable. I have a drive that I didnt have before. I KNEW I wanted to be thinner bc of "cosmetic" reasons and that health to m was just a bonus but now, I have to.

Now thats my story. I would love some "Pick me uppers" HAHA No way I am going to be able to do this alone!

HAVE AN AMAZING HEALTHY DAY!!

    Scary indeed! You're right--at least this is something you can control. High cholesterol runs in my family, and my doctor told me I'd likely have to go on meds at age thirty-five. That's five years away for me, and I'm adamant to exercise and eat right and bring that down to a manageable level so I won't have to do the meds. I'm sending you a friend request!
