For years I struggled with my weight and the many health issues that go along with being overweight. I had horrible eating habits and food cravings that always seemed to win. At my heaviest of 186 pounds, I had constant back aches and my back kept going out on me. A friend came to visit and challenged me to better health and nutrition to help the problem. At first I laughed at her suggestions and then I got angry. I thought, “What is all of this saying about me?” Then I decided that I felt so horrible I had nothing to lose.
That was the beginning of an incredible journey --a tough one, but a rewarding one! I began to pray for God's wisdom like never before in this area of my life. I needed discipline and a new understanding of what a healthy lifestyle was all about. The more I dug in and applied what I read, the more the pounds dropped off and my energy and vitality returned. In the shape I was in back then I could never have done the job I am doing now at FLM. Twenty years later, I have more stamina than before and a passion to help others who are searching to find the healthy way of life.
As I share with you week to week, I hope you are challenged, encouraged and motivated to start your road to optimum health. Hang on and let’s go!
