Any other religious professionals?

Hi. I'm an ordained minister, and those of us in that field are notoriously bad at taking care of ourselves. The stats are scary, but not at all surprising to those of us who are living them.

So I'm reaching out to other religious professionals -- because not all ministers are ordained, some are religious educators, church musicians, pastoral counsellors, etc. Yet we all struggle with our health within a particularly stressful environment. Anyway, reaching out.

Oh, one more thing. I'm an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister, so I'm not interested in religious debate or denigration. All are welcome here.

    Welcome to MFP. I'm not particularly religious (spiritual - yes, religious - no) - just wanted to welcome you. What are your fitness goals?

    I'm about 100 lbs over my ideal. I've also got a host of medical things that *should* resolve with the weight loss. You?
