First of all I want to thank you for sticking it out with me. I know I have done some pretty abusive things to you over the years in the way that I have fed you and not exercised you! About the only positive thing I can say that i have done for you is that I didn't try every fad diet that has passed by.
I know I have not taken care of you as well as I should of in the past but I am trying to make up for that now. I want to let you know I am committed to keeping you strong and healthy. I think now that I am older I will respect you more and care for you more. I know that there is a lot more at stake now that you’re aging and I know that we cannot reverse the past be we can make the future bright.
I know in order to keep you healthy I must get rid of the excess pounds that I am requiring you to carry. I have forced you to carry more weight than anybody should be allowed. You have endured the pounds and remained undeservedly healthy. But, the pounds are beginning to affect my health--the threat of diabetes is looming too close.
As I sit at home alone on yet another holiday, I am well aware of the way my weight has limited my mobility and "life" enjoyment. Were it not for issues with my weight, I wouldn't be home alone while many are out celebrating together poolside or lakeside.
I know that once the weight is gone, we can have more fun. I know we will be able to walk and stand around, and I hope we will be able to ride a bike, and just be able to do things. I know that when we get the weight off we will be in a better place.
I will keep feeding you healthy and I will make exercise a priority. I might ask you to push a bit harder but I think you can handle it. I am so ready to let go of these pounds. Are you with me? I sure hope so, body. I know that we will be happy and proud and strong.
So, my dear body, I hope you are ready because I'm choosing to make some changes!!! Next July 4th, I want to be poolside or lakeside with friends!!!
