This I Believe

I strongly believe in living longer as much as you can, staying fit, and eating healthy.
I believe in this because if you can look into your future and see what road you are going down then you know how stable your life is going to be and how you can live the fullest.
I've heard stories about my parents childhood how they grew up. I saw for myself how they struggled with their weight, eating habits, how they didn't want to be athletic and move from the couch. My parents self image was lost due to them being overweight. Working out was not something they did, they didn’t have the energy to move their overweight bodies around. I also saw that my parents wanted to change at one point in their lives. My parents decided enough was enough and it was time to make a life style change and become healthy and fit. Their life style change has caused them to lose 117 pounds for my mom and 130 pounds for my dad. I love my parents for who they are and what they do to help my life out.
From their example I've decided to make my life more easier to watch what I eat not to sit on the couch eat food and watch television all day. Even if I say to myself that I am not fit enough, I think I still need to stay in shape at least stay toned up. I just need to watch what I eat, cut down and watch portion size. Or I will be not healthy in my elderly years.
People need to notice that you only live once and make it the best life you have for your kids and yourself. Make your life fun, peaceful, and an adventure. On the weekends go walk instead of driving. People need to look at the great things in life, to live a happier life.
