Several years ago, I found myself sick, fat, tired and
stressed-out. I knew I needed to make some changes but I was too tired
to exercise and anxiety kept me from thinking clearly. I was seeing
everything through the lens of fear. It wasn't until I met with my
doctor and he said I had to make some serious life changes, that I came
to. I felt as if it all happened over night.
My first idea was to diet. I thought if I could get the weight off I would be back to normal. I knew what to do to get rid of the anxiety since I had panic attacks many years before. I tried a few popular diets and lost 2 pounds and had a headache the entire time. I went this route for several months, getting more depressed and focused on being fat and defective.
I began to work on my spiritual life, praying and talking to God. I made a few changes in my life and little by little I began to see change. I was still about 40 pounds overweight but my focus was changing. I was back to taking a few supplements and toying with the idea of exercising but was still tired and didn't feel good.
After a lot of trial and error, stressful events and time, my health dramatically improved and I'm at a healthy weight. It's been a handful of years now and most of my health issues are gone, along with the 50 pounds of excess weight I was carrying around.
How did I do it? I realized that I needed to be healthy or I would suffer the rest of my life. I wanted to live life and not watch it go by. I made a decision to transform my life; Body, Mind and Spirit. That's what it takes. I have discovered that we can't have a healthy mind and a sick body or healthy body and sick mind. We are spirit beings with a mind and a physical body. I focused and still do on being healthy. I had to learn to love myself and believe I was worth it before I could actively participate in a healthy lifestyle.
I've learned that there are no magic pills or quick fixes. It takes months and years to get fat and sick. It takes months and years to get thin and healthy. It takes a lifetime to maintain it. If this speaks to you, I encourage you to make a decision today to love and accept yourself. To live to be healthy. You're worth it!
