Doing it for you

I'm sure at some point before I began this journey I thought that I definitely needed to lose weight in order to attract someone to date. Back around the time all of this began on July 6, 2010 my mind was filled with so much negativity because of my weight and the health problems that the weight was causing.

Four years later I realize that I am the number one reason for this lifestyle change. For once in my 42 years I'm putting ME first.

As much as Mark and my kids love me, and will benefit in many ways from a new healthy me, they don't have to live inside the prison of my unhealthy (mentally and physically) body. 

I'm doing this for me and you should, too.  You're so worth it! 

I'm willing to bet that you gained weight and became unhealthy because you put other people's needs, feelings, etc ahead of your own. When we put ourselves on the bottom of the totem pole, our health suffers. Make yourself your first priority.

And you know that saying about if you can't love yourself, how can anyone else love you? There's a lot of truth to that. When all of these changes for the better started taking place, I started really loving me. And you know what happened? I met the man of my dreams and we're building a life together.

Do it for you and everything else just starts falling into place.
