The Start of a New Chapter...

Sunday night I watched this show about a half ton woman, a thousand pound man, and the heavieast 19 yr. old boy, weighing in at 800 pounds. The woman went to the hospital to get that stomach surgery where you can't eat that much afterward, but right after she started doing good, her life ended, just like that. The man had to actually be broken out of his home because there was no way he could fit through the door. He lost a lot of weight and got the same surgery and is now home with his family. The boy could barely walk, was stuck at home, having his mom meet his every need. But, after watching all of this, I just got this horrible feeling inside, I thought I do not want to ever get that way. Because, the fact is, I am heading in that direction, me and my mom, and it worries me. I mean I was thinking all this while eating like 10 pizza bites, and immediately I put my plate down (not joking), and said " no more fast food mom, no more, I am being serious!" She just laughed at me, but we talked for awhile and decided that we want to start eating healthy, and i mean it this time. i don't want to start and stop, i want to eat my veggies and fruits, and eat in the right proportions, and not have fast food! I need to do this, i don't want to become like those people I saw, it almost made me cry to think about how I could die and my mom could die from something so simple as overeating. Anyway, on a lighter note, i started physical therapy today, and it was pretty cool, the exercises he had me doing. I got to go on a stationary bike, it hurt a little but i think it will help. Hopefully my knee will get better, and i can start exercising more in no time. well I will talk to ya'll later bye!

yes a great decision, and one I am glad you have come to, because thats how I felt at the beginning, and I wanted to help you and mom, but felt like you wouldn't listen to me, so I tried not to say anything...Freakin awesome! If you need help, let me know, cuz like I said I wanted to help

Amanda said...

no i dont want help thats what i dont want, is people telling me what to do. if mom doesnt do it who cares im gonna do it on my own, and in my own time. i dont want to be rushed either.

Also, Amanda, you are a far cry from having to break down walls to get you out of the house. Don't feel bad about yourself, that isn't going to help you either. You are doing well in school, you have good friends, good family, your life is going good, remember that.
