Wake Up Call

Today I had a wake up call.  A call to action.  My doctor is concerned about my blood pressure.  She wants to put me on blood pressure meds.  BLOOD PRESSURE MEDS?!  I'm only 31.  The guilt immediately engulfed my heart, mind, and body.  As if looking in the mirror isn't enough confirmation that my lifestyle is unhealthy.  I REALLY am killing myself.  

Weight has always been an emotional struggle for me.  You would think after being made fun of my entire childhood, having a health-nut for a father, and KNOWING what I'm putting in my body is awful for me, that I would stop making those choices.  That I would start eating healthy and treating my body better.  I'm not sure what has held me back for 31 years, however this is it.  I've gotten my slap in the face.

I thought blogging would help keep me accountable and I could share my struggle and successes with the people I love most.  And possibly with people whom I don't know to let them know they aren't alone.

My goal is to update my successes and failures on a weekly basis.  I will weigh myself with fidelity and be honest about my choices and feelings.  

So, here we gooooo!  Wish me luck. :)
