Been reading a lot about narrowing my focus! Getting 'Healthy' - while it does include losing unwanted weight, is not the true goal - it is only part of the process. I have included 'getting healthy' in the physical category, but also, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. It has become a tremendous healing process from the fears of repeating my Dad's failures in some of these areas. When you see a loved one suffer and die through an unnecessary illness...one they could have 'tried' to get healthy for themselves...but didn't...it puts a fire in you to NOT want to go through those things yourself. Now, only 2 years after that event in my life...I have CHANGED my future. I am no longer in fear of repeating all of that in my body! I have rid myself of the unwanted weight. I have committed myself to a HEALTHY lifestyle that includes exercising, keeping up with educating myself on my eating habits, spending and giving time to myself in order to keep a positive perspective on my FUTURE and my goals! I have purposed myself to forgive, and to love. And I'm doing it!!! (with much gratitude to those who have supported and helped me along the way!!)
