in Introduce Yourself
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

    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.

    I think you'll like it here ....... logging meals & exercise is easy , and helps to keep us focused ......

    My goal is to be able to go to sleep each night knowing I did the best I could that day ...... (am NOT always successful, but that's my goal :drinker: )

    Have fun !
