I'm sorry if I lead you to believe that this blog is going to be about abortion. There's a reason why I chose the words pro life here. I am against abortion though but that's a whole different topic and blog. Most of you have asked how I do it, eat healthy and enjoy being physically active. Living healthy doesn't have to be difficult, it's about the choices you make. With me, it all started by educating myself. I read books, health magazines, and surrounded myself with positive people. I use to be overweight, I was once a child that was obese, went through an eating disorder in high school, and almost killed myself. I was desperate and wanted to be healthy. Changing my lifestyle was not easy and fell off the wagon many times. But I pressed on and I didn't quit. Being healthy does not mean being at the perfect weight or fitting in a size 0 dress/jeans. It's about feeling happy with yourself because you know you're taking care of yourself physically and mentally. It's about setting an example to those around you and if you have kids, you are setting a great example to your children. You don't need a lot of money to live a healthy lifestyle. You don't need a gym or eat organic foods. You can go to the local park or your neighborhood and go for a walk/run. You can use soup cans as weights or other things you have in your house. You can buy your produce from your local farms and at the same time you will be supporting them. I am tired of the excuses people give me of why they can't live a healthy lifestyle. If you have a working body and you can walk from your living room to your kitchen then you can go for a walk outside. I've seen amazing people who have amputated legs and arms and have competed in marathons and other events. Or people who were once obese and decided that they will no longer be a slave to obesity and food. You can be like that person too. Don't ever limit yourself. You are wonderfully and fearfully made, how dare you say that you can't do something. Stop making excuses! You're killing yourself! Make a choice today, be pro life - when you choose to live a healthy lifestly, you are doing yourself a big favor, you are choosing life, and that's what I mean about being pro life.
