It Takes Guts to Fight Obesity

Why i chose to eat Healthy. . .

Hey everyone my names Anabel and I've been a member on here since Aug. I just wanted to share with you all why I chose to start eating healthy, unfortunally I did'nt eat so healthy before. Well on Dec. 29, 2008 I was in a terrible car accident on the 10 freeway, I was rushed to the emergancy room unfortunally I lost my left kidney had broken ribs as well as other damage organs, almost died twice thru the whole process of the surgey and stayed in the I.C.U for two weeks not knowing if I was going to live to see another day. Im very lucky to be alive and I am so grateful.. But before I got realeased the doctor insured me that if I were to get high blood pressure or diabetes, I was'nt goin to live long for the fact being that I only have 1 kidney. He told me to eat as healthy as I can, drink plenty of water (no soda), and exercise. So that was the being of my HEALTHY LIFESTYLE!!! =] Unfortunally something really bad had to happen to me to realize to b as healthy as i can be, so i encourge you all to start now!! Dont wait till your diagnose wiht diabetes etc. I just wana throw in another moral of my story is to *appriate life, *you may be here today but gone tomorrow!! DReAM AS iF YOU'LL LiVe FOReVeR, LiVe AS iF YOU'LL DiE TODAY.

Wow! If that ain't pressure, I don't know what is. I'm glad I read this. Its motivated me to keep on trying and to inspire others to do the same.

Hi Anabel, great story. I can totally relate to you. Lots of people don't realize how important it is to eat healthy and exercise. They see it as a chore and something extra that is boring. However, they do not realize how important it is for our body and for being healthy overall. Its great to have you here, you're an inspiration!
