Lifestyle Change

Posted on October 4, 2008

I found a great article yesterday about a woman who lost 110 pounds so she could join the U.S. Army. When she first met the recruiter, he told her she would have to lose 100 pounds to join. She wanted to serve so she got to work on getting healthier. How?

Lifestyle.

She had to start with little changes. She started to eat less. She gave up junk food, fast food, and sweets. She also started exercising. At first she could only walk around the block. Little by little, the weight came off and living healthier became easier.

She explained, “It took a lot of changes on my part. It just got easier and easier as time went on.”

Now, after over a year, she’s ready for basic training and nursing training in the Army. I wish her well.

Bottom Line: We don’t need magic pills, TV products, or extreme diets to get healthier. We need healthier lifestyles.
