In 2012, I decided to get healthy. For many reasons, I did not reach my goal of losing 100 pounds plus. I have lost and kept off 25 of these pounds. Now it is time to get serious and to look to the future. The future being to become healthier. Fortunately, I have no medical issues in spite of being obese (no diabetes, no high cholesterol etc.). The medical issues I do have existed before I became obese. Since turning 60 (two years ago) I find it is even more difficult to lose the excess weight, however I will do this as I do not want to develop more medical issues. In order to do this, I will rely on my Heavenly Father to give me the strength to stay focused and on track while I do the actual work. I believe that He and only He can get me through this journey. I believe this as each time I try to go it or do it on my own I end up discouraged and overwhelmed. When I ask Him for strength I continue to forge ahead. So having said this, No More Looking Back Only Looking Forward, Stay tuned for my progress.
