Heart Health

[AprilD32]

I currently weigh more than I ever have in my life.  I am upset about that and have dieted off and on. I want to loose weight but I know I have not been strict enough with myself.  My Dad had a heart attack today!  He is stable but he is still in the hospital.  I just came from there. He is 58 years old.  He had a blockage in his right coranary artery.  His girlfriend had been on his case trying to get him to eat healthier and he complained about her nagging. I guess it turns out she was right.  It was a wake up call for me too. No more excuses I need to get healthy. My whole family does. Nag or not, the whole family needs to get on board and care about the health of all the members of the family. I realize that now.  So I have started anew today, commited to better health.  I know that having support of others is helpful in weight loss so that is why I am making this journal post.  Thanks for reading!

You can do it!  Just remember it will not come off as quickly as it may have come on.  Slow and steady wins the race as irritating as it may be.

Best of Luck!
