Day one

Anyone who is been overweight and tried to lose weight knows about Day One. It's like the day after the Big Binge, the day where you visualize going all the way this time. This day is going to be different from all the other first days. That's what we believe with all our heart. How will this be different? What will our choices be this time that will be different from all the other times? That's what I'm here to explore with you. 

The journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step. 

All great things begin with a catalyst. 

Today is the day that I begin. But guess what I have discovered? That today is just a culmination of all the days that have come before this. And today will build on tomorrow. And in actuality the beginning of this particular journey wasthe day you were born and the end is the day you die. If we could see our lives this way it would be helpful.

How would you live if you knew you would die from diabetes? Would you give up the pop today? If you knew you were going to die from a stroke or heart attack, would you take your high blood pressure medicine? If you knew you were going to die from interpartner violence would you heed the warning signs and get out now? If you knew you were going to die from lung cancer, would you give up cigarettes? Make the decision to live the best life you can live and not to contribute to your own demise. That's what today means for me. A chance to live my best life and change the course of my life! 

Will you join me?
