Thanks for sharing Travis. I am a nurse and I have seen many patients with sleep apnea. There is one in particular that sticks out in my mind and I think of him often. I am lucky enough not to suffer from sleep apnea. YET!
I have made excuses for myself for a long time. My parents are both overweight, my sister is as well. We are a German family from a long way back. We eat. We eat when happy, when sad, when mad, when the sun is up or the moon is shining.
I have four kids. We all want to be here for our kids. But I want more than that. My middle daughter is very sensitive. Of late she has been making comments about needing to excercise and get rid of her fat belly. (their step-mother has given them daily exercises that they are supposed to be doing.. we won't go there right now..)
So my reason for wanting to be healthy while ultimately losing weight is for my kids. For them to see that being healthy is the most important thing you can do for yourself.
