The First Step to a Long Way Home!

For many years I'v had my hat turned backwards and ignored the added weight gain that I cruelly demanded my body carry. Well, I'm finally going to face my adversary and take command of my eating habits. I started by walking in my community. Once around the neighborhood equals approximately 1 mile. Occasionally, I run for a large portion of that mile. I'm currently able to run 2 tenths of a mile at any given time as long as I can walk the remainding 8 tenths. My starting weight was 263 lbs. I'm currently at 254 lbs and dropping quickly. I have changed my diet somewhat. Writing about this project tends to make me hungry so, I'll keep this entry rather short. I'm eating more fruits and vegetable......less fried foods. I'll put up a before and after soon. I solicate any suggestions. Also anyone who needs to lose weight and wants to join this blog as a writer is welcome to do so. Just let me know.

There's a new awaking on the horizon. More and more individuals are starting to research the information provided them by medical professionals. More patients are starting to get second medical opinions and actually spending time learning about the effects of various prescribed remedies. Shouldn't we be as concerned about our health as our physician? It's a matter of life or death. Shouldn't we attempt to research the foreign substances recommended by our Doctors? Or should we move along like cattle to the slaughter?

Are individuals in need of medical attention being marketed to just like any other industry.... from the perspective of consumers, end users, market share, planned obsolecence, and worst case scenario, allowable margins of error.

Don't let your medical needs be bundled together and charted based on your Doctor's children's college plans or the medical industry's customer pipeline.
