"Black Women DO" Workout", There was a time when I was weighting 329lbs. With that weight everything came with that package, of course border line to becoming a diabetic, High Blood pressure, back problems, breathing problem, and Obesity. My doctor said and named it all. Every time I would visit the Doctors office, and looked at my folder the word Obese would just jump right off the folder, just as big as day.
Then one day I decided that enough is enough. Just like the rest of us, we take a day and examine ourselves. But this time I really did. I stood in front of the mirror and said; Okay, no more looking at me cutie face. I'm going to travel from the neck on down this time. Hard to do that because I knew how big I was. Not only did I travel from the neck on down, But I did it with no clothes on. Oh My Goodness!!!!!! I was going below and behind.
As I was looking at myself, touching my stomach, turning side to side, looking at the rolls, my eyes started to fill. I knew this was not me, and that I can be better than this. Realizing how I looked, most of all how I felt, I knew that there had to be a change and it had to start with me, NOW!!!!.
For those who are reading my letter, allow me to say, I have tried everything, and I'm sure you have also. Looking at myself in the mirror made me see that none of those DIE -its did not work for me. That is when I realized that it was the DIE-it. I was Dying. The word DIE was in what I was doing all the while. I was dying to try and keep up with all the new programs, trying my darnedest to eat right, but eating the wrong foods. IT WAS KILLING ME!!!!!! and I was not happy.
As I'm writing this letter, I'm reflecting back and understanding that I was simply MISERABLE. I decided to start to live, change what I was doing to LIVE a great life, and do great things. I needed to LIVE, so I started a LIVE-it.
Needless to say, I took a nutrition class and learned how to eat. That was a start of a new me. I incorporated exercising and lifting into my daily routine, now I am living it, opposed to Dying.
Truly, I can go on and on about the life changes in my life (Praise God), but I'm going to stop here and leave you with this. If you want the change, I mean truly want it, you can get it, because it's there to be gotten.
Start your LIVE-IT, NOW!!!!!!!!!
With Love
