Last year I was fit and healthy and loved my body, and was dedicated to heping others achieve the bodies they wanted. Then tragedy struck my life in the form of a horrible car accident that almost took the life of oldest son. 37 days in the Icu and another 60 days in a rehabilitation center where he had to relearn how to do everything, and still struggles to revover his speech after a stroke in the ICU took him motor function in his mouth and soft palette.
97 days of living off of cafeteria food, and the next year of dr/s appointment, surgeries, medications, special diets, stress, worry, fear, and zero time for myself. My son is now healthy and functioning, He will graduate with his class, and works a physically taxing job. Most everyone can understand him now with a little effort, and we are now living our new version of nomral.
Because of this experience I am now a happier and healthier emotionally and spiritaully then I have ever been, but taking care of my body has been the only thing I have neglected. It has become a prison of sorts for the happy energetic person I have become.
I finally have the time for me and for the comittment it takes to not only eat healthy, but to exercise. For me its all mental preperation.
This is an experiment of sorts. I have cleared away all the negative in my life, and I am fully confident that all the reasons I gained the weight in the first place have been cleared away, so with some work the weight should fall of fairly easily. I am esentially writing my own testimonial for the business I want to create in a few years. So I won't call it starting over because I was building emotional and spiritual strength and trimming away all the excess inside this last year as the outside was weakening and gaining weight. It was still two steps forward and one step back. I was progressing, but now that I have the time and mental determination..........Now I will be unstoppable.
