Second Chances

Well, here I am. I had goals, I was working out, eating right and soon I gave it all up. again. I am tired of feeling like a failure. I am tired of letting myself BE a failure. I am worth so much more than I am giving myself!

I do not want a fat, lazy, unhealthy body that will end up giving out on me earlier than I want.

Recently, we took a family trip to visit my parents and extended family. My mother is severely overweight. In fact, she is very obese. She has so many health problems, I can't even list them all. She is at a point where she can barely function and she is only 58 years old. I keep thinking that maybe if she had gotten healthy when she was my age, all of these health problems would not have become so horrifying. One thing has led to another and now she can barely walk.

This will not be me! I will not lie around waiting to become my mother. We all need second chances. Here I go with mine!
