I am starting this blog to hold myself accountable for changing my lifestyle. I had my yearly physical at the end of January. The results were not pleasing. I am 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighed in at an astonishing 323 pounds. This is the HEAVIEST I have ever been. In addition to the shock of my weight, I also was hit with the news that I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and I am a border line diabetic. It was communicated to me that if my levels do not drop by April, when I will be tested again, I will be placed on three different medications.

I want to be able to spend a day playing non stop with my son and not be out of breath or tired. I want to be off my depression medication and be able to walk into any store and know they have clothes that fit me.

So here I go, tomorrow is DAY 1.....

For those who read my blog, I ask that you don't read my posts and judge. I am looking for supportive friends and family who can encourage me when I am down and congratulate me when I have made even the smallest of accomplishments.

    Crystal I love your honesty and desire to make positives changes. We all love you and are here to support you! Here is a short clip about others who felt similar frustrations and what they overcame.. please check it out. I have a lovely lady who has similar concerns and she ordered her first Isagenix 30 day pak from me tonight and has also decided to commit to changes. I will send her this blog info as well! I think this is a wonderful idea.

    I am so proud of you for taking this step. It's not going to be easy, but like anything good in this world, it's worth working for. I'm working on losing weight too, and am currently down 15 pounds from my heaviest. It's a big change, but once you realize you're in control and find a way that works for you, you can do it!! <3
