a new outlook

So my name is Rachel I have yo yo dieted my whole life! I never was really committed and I would lose some weight and then fall back! I live an active lifestyle working with kids and I love kids so much! I think why this time is different for me is because I just spent last Christmas with my whole family. My five year old nephew has a terminal disease, the Dr. gave him six months to live, eight months ago! The reason he is doing so well is because of all the research my sister has done on how food affects the body. It made me realize how my five year old nephew is fighting for his life while I am eating myself to the grave! I realized I need to be healthy as a good example to the kids i work with but also care more about my health. I have a wedding this summer and of course want to look good for it! It only took me twenty four years to get serious!
