Yuck!


...tastes a little bitter! :(

So, why I do a feel the need to humble myself before my loyal readers? hehehe Well...I've not made the best decisions over the last few weeks. In fact, I've not made any decisions that could be relatively thought of as "good". I've been pushin' down the road with absolutely no regard to who I might run over. And in this case, the only person I am running over is myself.

"If you continue to do what you've always done. You will continue to get what you've always got." This has been one of my favorite sayings for quiet some time...the funny thing is, I never applied to myself, only to other's around me. I think it's time to do some self application and make some changes.

The slap in the face was the gall stones...or maybe it was the research I did on Women's Health.com as to what causes them...

Obesity is a major risk factor for gallstones, especially in women. A large clinical study showed that being even moderately overweight increases one's risk for developing gallstones. The most likely reason is that obesity tends to reduce the amount of bile salts in bile, resulting in more cholesterol. Obesity also decreases gallbladder emptying.

I am UNHEALTHY! and if I want to be here to see my kids grow up and do the things I want to do with them...then, I'd better straighten up. This is it! I'm done with self abuse.

Becky, I totally know what you mean. I have fought my weight all my life. I know what I need to do but it's just so hard! I had my gallbladder removed when Colton was 3 weeks old. I have high blood pressure and high triglycerides. My doctor said I'll be diabetic soon if I don't change my lifestyle. Just know that I'm rootin for ya and I'm here for support! Stacey
