I am 34 years old and have been working out for the past decade. Over the years I've become more interested in health, nutrition and fitness. I am not one of those people who can eat whatever I want and stay thin, but I also do not want to be. I can say this now because that is what I used to want and I tried many ways to achieve "skinny".

I am 34 years old and have been working out for the past decade. Over the years I've become more interested in health, nutrition and fitness. I am not one of those people who can eat whatever I want and stay thin, but I also do not want to be. I can say this now because that is what I used to want and I tried many ways to achieve "skinny". I have taken ephedra on and off for years and used it to get to my thinnest point. However through a great deal of conviction and with God's help, I decided I wanted to be more healthy and not just skinny.

From what I have learned about food, nutrition and what we put into our bodies, I want to eat to live, not live to eat. Not only do our food choices affect our outward physique; it also affects our overall inward health. We all will pay now or pay later. We pay now by making healthy, sometimes costly choices. Or, we will pay later, by visiting the doctor, having surgery, treating sometimes preventable illnesses. I have become increasing more interested in health because all but two members of my family have died of some type of cancer. I will never be able to control everything to prevent the same thing happening to me, but I have decided to change what I can.

Tragedy, pain and growth are parts of life; the good news is that we have choices, beginning with our attitude. I'm on in this journey of life, loving every moment. I hope you are enjoying your life too. If not, simple changes can help.
