My First Step in a Life Long Journey

I am excited today to take the first step into a much healthier lifestyle. Heart Disease runs deep in my family, and I want to take the needed steps to make sure that I can do everything in my power to make sure I am healthy later in life as well. In the past I have tried losing weight for so the wrong reasons, always for someone else...but never me. I am ready to do it for myself now, so that I can be proud of the woman staring back at me in the mirror. I want to be able to walk in a store and shop without being self concious of the size. I don't want to be skinny...just a healthier me. I know that I can do this!
