The Struggle of Keeping Weight Balance

Losing weight is the first step that never ends. Keeping the weight lost can be challenging. What has worked for me is reminding myself everyday that, the work I have done in losing 70+ pounds is not something I can take lightly. I am more determined than ever to keep this weight off for a long time. How about you?

Diabetes Scare

I had taken other diseases that I had lightly until I was diagnosed with diabetes in April of last year. This scared me to death. I saw myself with one eye, one leg or other parts of my body missing. I knew there was something I could do to make some changes to my life. I made the U-Turn with eating habits, exercising, social network, meditation and sleep patterns. I am now off all the 10+ medications I was taking and feeling good about my life.
I knew and still know that only me can make changes to my health. There is no quick fix. It takes determination and hard work to see some tangible result. It pays in the long run. Read more here - http://weightlossandculture.com/?p=1171

The Heart of Compassion

As I grew older, I am realizing that I am not as compassionate as I used to be. Today during church service I asked God to exam my heart again and rekindle my love, kindness, meekness, patience which I suspect has been running out. I sometimes sympathize with drug addicts, but other times I believe that change comes from within. The addict has to be willing to make that change. Losing Whitney Houston at a young at of 48 is another wake up call what drugs can do our lives and people who love us.
