1. I want to live a long life Although old age scares me, If I’m healthy, living a long life can prove to be fruitful. It would afford me the opportunity to see more of the world, try new experiences and have hot relations with young guys once my husband croaks.
2. I want to have children The female body goes thru a significant amount of changes when she's pregnant and gives birth, being healthy BEFORE I have children would not only put me in better position physically and mentally, but I will also pass along good eating and exercise habits to my children which will in turn effect generations well beyond my being on this earth.
3. I want to reverse current health conditions I believe that the body has the potential to heal itself of sickness and disease. Get on it!!! Be healed!!!
4. I want to feel good physically I would like to feel better physically and feel good about myself! I look good but I wanna look better… :) (if that’s even possible, I mean come on, look at me!!!)
5. Because it's just plain ole important that I honor my temple and not stuff it with a Twinkies and now and laters....I guess the real struggle is, thinking about this list or at least one of the things on list when I am eating uncontrollably, or better yet, before I decide to eat something that is not going to get me closer to my goal. I don't want to be fat. I want to be healthy, yet I continue to make choices that go against what I want, and there comes a time in ones life, in my life where I must make the choice to live and to live healthy.
I've made that choice so many times though only to fall flat on my face and here I am AGAIN for the skatey-eighth time trying to get back on the wagon and boy is it hard. It sux as a matter of fact because I know I can "do it". For as many times that I fall off however, I will get back up and I guess that's a positive step in the right direction. *Deep sigh*
