A new chapter

I'm sure it comes as no great shock when I tell you that the number one New Year's resolution in America is to lose weight. Our country is diet-obsessed, but unfortunately there are so many contradictory opinions on what is and isn't healthy, that people are confused.

I didn't work today, and it left me quite a bit of time to read and to think.

I've decided to make a very radical change in what I'm doing with my life. Last summer I went on a crazy health kick. I gave up basically everything I loved eating and drinking, and in return lost a bunch of weight. That's great. But I've started back to my old ways. I eat out all the time. I don't go to the gym at all. I drink soda in excess amounts, and all of this combined makes me think of one word... Disgusting.

I have never been one of those people who's overly self conscious. I feel like I actually had a better self image that maybe I should have! But here I am at twenty three, and while I'm not the most unhealthy I've ever been, I'm not healthy by any stretch of the imagination.

So, I have set up rules for myself. Simple rules, that if followed, will will bring me into a new healthier lifestyle, and likewise make me drop weight.

I am both nervous and excited for this new adventure. I have prayed about this extensively. I haven't actually talked it over with anyone yet, but I know a few people who are more than qualified to help me, and who I'm sure will gladly lend a hand.

If you're one of these people and want to help with advice, recipes, encouragement, etc, text me or Fb message me.

Thanks in advance friends!!

Grace be with you.
