A Second Chance To Be Healthy

Second chances. Has anyone ever wished for a second chance to try again? To do it better than you did the first time? To undo all those mistakes you made and begin fresh? Well, I for one have wished I could. Truth be told, I‘ve wished for a second chance several times in my life. Now I’m sure my second chance wishes are probably very different from the ones you have. In spite of those differences, we do have something in common that connects us... we want to do better the next time.

Well, that is what this blog is all about. I will be 58 this Wednesday, and I desperately need to get my health back, while I can still do something about it.

My road to being unhealthy started many (20) years ago. Depression, stress, anger, took a toll on my health. Then to cope with all of it, I turned to eating. Needless to say, it all landed on my hips and stayed. Add to that my medical issues that have cropped up over the years and here I am today...a hot mess!

The truth is, I have hit (my) rock bottom. When I have to sit on my kitchen floor, with my bucket of hot soapy water, and scoot all around to clean the floor and get it done...that’s rock bottom. When I have to sit on a kitchen chair, to load and unload my dishwasher or unpack my groceries...that’s rock bottom.

By the grace of God, my rock bottom wasn’t the end, but a second chance to be healthy.

I hope I can inspire you to take your second chance to be healthy...BEFORE you hit rock bottom.
