So you know, I have often wondered (like this morning daydreaming) where I would be now if I hadn't caught myself at the edge of a tall cliff, 2 years ago, turning myself around from the extreme of poor health, to where I am now.
But do you ever wonder why some people can catch themselves like I did, and others, eventually kill themselves (sorry, can't think of a nicer way to describe such a terrible end)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So anyway, tonight after grocery shopping, I ran into an old friend / co-worker..... And all was not good. The guy was always 30 or 40 lbs heavier than me, and I myself was well into the obese range. But apparently, he totally kept on with his poor health life style > even after he developed diabetes ! Since then his kidneys have shut down twice ! He's on a whole bunch of prescription meds. And all of this just really sucks, because he is just a really good guy
And ya' know, he acted like he had time to talk (or wanted to hear more...) So I preceded to tell him how two years ago, I was in such misery due to my own poor health, that I didn't care if I lived or died. And here I am now, 105 lbs of fat lost, 32 lbs of muscle gained. To which he was like "Yea ! I can see that" So what did you do" ???
I always have to start with > "Well, I wish I could give you a silver bullet. But in the simplest terms, you have to totally change your eating, excersizing lifestyle.... and I do mean like wipe the chalkboard clean, and start from scratch" !!!
Aside from that, I had to admit to the guy that I have hard-core OCD. So once I get something stuck in my head, it absolutely consumes me ! Whether it be, getting back into really good health, or catching a bunch of big fish
But who knows. Different people probably have different kick starts for getting ones self healthy.
I don't have kids, but if I did, I'd think that would be another big motivator.
Anyway, a lot of people without OCD have pulled them selves up from the bottom, back to great health too. I just wish that everyone in poor health, could find the motivator that works for them, to turn it around.
Peace,
