good question. I've been at this for a long time. At one point in my life I was a cigarette smoking, Burger King eating p, lazy person. I did nothing but sit around or drive around with coffee or junk food as my main source of energy. In 1998 I watched my mother die. She died from things that could have been treatable (maybe) if she had been a healthy person who took care of herself and saw a doctor regularly. Admittedly it took me awhile after that for the reality of that concept to have its impact but in 2000 I quit smoking. I ate my way through that year and in 2001 weighing almost 230 pounds I decided to get heathy, really, truly heathy. I started working out and joined weight watchers and the weight started to come off. Eventually I was allowed to come off asthma meds and was feeling pretty healthy overall. I struggle though, which is why I'm here I suppose, to maintain a heathy weight but I will always 'fight the fight'. I seem to be injury prone. Whether from over training or bad luck but at those moments I struggle the most. I am a comfort eater and allow the poor me's to take over. I have been healing from Achilles issues since July. As a result I gained 30 lbs. I have lost 10 of those thirty and and working on ridding myself of the rest. Hoping that a challenge like this will keep me on track as I am a competitive person at heart and like having specific goals in mind.
