No, i'm not running.
It's hard to imagine me right now running at 205.3 lbs. In fact, it's hard to imagine me doing anything where i don't feel like i'm moving my mass around with lots off effort.
Summer does that to you, you know.
No, it's something even more unimaginable.
And it's all started with a book.
Not just any book, mind you, but a book called Eat To Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, M.D.
Keep in mind that when i bought this book, i had no idea that this book was a 'vegan' book plan. If i had, i probably never would have picked it up. Oh, it's not that i don't like veggies, it's just that i tend to eat like it seems most Americans eat: high carbs, lots of fats, lots of breads, lots of sugar and lots of junk. Going from that to eating like a vegan is like, well, wiring my mouth shut. I thought it would be impossible for me to eat the vegan way. In fact, in my more lucid moments, i'm still not sure.
But i do know this, i'm scared.
I know that i'm not healthy. I know that i'm borderline (if not already) diabetic. I know my blood pressure isn't anywhere near the healthy range. I feel like staying in bed most days, not moving and only getting up to potty or eat. Thank God for my daughter and husband, otherwise, i'm sure that i would be that person.
I want to be a good wife.
I want to be a good mother.
I want to be a healthy wife and mother.
And i want a life where i am fully engaged and not sitting on the side lines.
Am i insane for even thinking about trying Dr. Fuhrman's way?
Maybe so, but something has to give
Something HAS to change.
I'm almost done with the book....just a few more chapters left.
The thing is, this way of eating looks do-able.
And i think that it will save my life.
