I bought a 70 ounce container for water and I drink it constantly. I am reading everything I can get my hands on about healthy foods. I'm making fruit and vegetables my main course with a side of lean meat or fish. I don't know why my head and heart are in it this time. Well, I think it's because, as you know, I've been very ill this past year. I was diagnosed with MS then after a week in the hospital I was told it wasn't MS. But, I still have all of the symtoms of MS. So, I get very frustrated about my health and I feel like I no longer know or have any control over my body. But what goes into my body is 100% under my control. I may never be healthy but I know I'll be as healthy as I possibly can. My son found a silver ID bracelet in a parking lot and he brought it home. It says "BEST" and he gave it to me. I now wear it to remind myself that I am in charge of being the BEST that I can be. I will make the BEST choices, and do my BEST to take care of myself. That is what I've done, Pat, and I thank you and Glad for getting me started and providing me with support, information and recipes! |
Teri, you are an inspiration!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your story!! My husband is always teasing me about how much time I spend with the Healthy Eating Club, and I tell him that if we can help JUST ONE person, then all the time spent is completely worth it!! YOU, my dear, have made my time worth while!! AND I know there are many other folks that are really trying to make this switch to healthy eating. YOU, Miss Teri, are doing MORE than trying!! YOU ARE SUCCEEDING!! I am so happy for you!!
Anyone else want to share a success story?
