Do I look fat? Until recently, that was what would prompt me (sometimes) to go on a diet. Then I watched my mother (who was overweight) have a heart scare and now needs to get her knee replaced, but can't because she is too heavy for the surgery. I also watched my fun-loving (obese) aunt, who I loved, die from cancer, of which obesity was a contributing factor. Now I ask, am I healthy? When the answer was no, I decided I needed a lifestyle change, not a diet. That's what I'm doing now. I'm trying to get myself healthier and I hope to inspire others to do the same. Don't worry, I'm not planning on getting preachy, I just want to help educate. My life isn't all serious - I do have a sense of humor and will try to share some of that too.
