Using a safety net
Between being sick, not exercising the way I normally do, and not paying attention to what I ate, I managed to pack on some unwanted pounds. My focus and determination took a big hit. In other words, I didn’t care… Struggling through this mess in my head. I can not be alone in this. We…

Go on a diet they said. It will be easy they said. Seriously, how hard could it be to eat healthy and work out? Calories in versus calories out! Piece of cake… Oh wait, that’s what got me into this mess… Isn’t it? We have these bodies and minds work together to keep us up…
