Don't think Twice

I've been struggling with my weight all my life, I am not ashamed to admit it. I've been as small as a 2/3 and as big as a 22, and all the sizes in between. For most of my adult life, I was somewhere around a 12/14 without much effort.
By not much effort, I mean I worked out and ate healthy, but nothing crazy. I led an active lifestyle, but again, nothing crazy. I worked out at the gym daily. I ate healthy but nothing insane. I just maintained my fighting weight.
About 10 years ago, things changed. my eating habits started to change. but I also wasn't working out and my lifestyle shifted. I didn't bike ride as a weekend past time. I stopped hiking. I didn't have a gym membership anymore.
My priority shifted off my health. I didn't see immediate consequences, but after a decade of not living healthy, I'm paying the price. I don't have any serious consequences yet, like diabetes or high blood pressure, but if I don't change, I will. You can't punish your body like that and not pay any price.
Right now, I'm starting to. I have aches and pains that are starting to affect me. I'm tired easily because I'm overweight. I don't have the flexibility that I had even a few short years ago. The worst part is I don't have the energy to play with my son. That breaks my heart.
This didn't come out of a vacuum, instead it's been months in the making. When I had my surgery in November, I was the heaviest I've ever been. This was after I had gone from fat to fab following my previous surgery the year before. It actually was just over 5 months time, which is even more heartbreaking.
Things don't change overnight, and I'm not looking for a miracle. What I am hoping for is sustained positive change. I want to be my best. In the last few months, I've experienced incredible personal success. My son has matured and is morphing from a little boy to a tween, and our relationship is changing from dependency to more level one. Healthiness is my big struggle right now.
I've learned over the years when I'm letting the health slide, other things slide too. Everything from participating in my favorite activities to being organized have been a struggle. It's not just the being healthy, it's manifested itself many different ways. so, now I need to start all over and regain control over my life.
Eating better
Moving more
Resting
Being hydrated
Enjoying life
Not something to think twice about.
