As a proud member of a family with such fine illnesses as cancer, diabetes, heart attacks and other heart related disease, Alzheimer's’s, and a few other major illnesses I have made a personal testament to myself to decide not to let my families past rid me of my future. I do not have the greatest of the genes as you can see so I set out to better my life.
I unfortunately contracted the “fat” gene. One side of my family is moderately in shape the other is not. What this means is that I store fat within my body. You see that piece of cake in your mind, succulent chocolate with fudge and icing, or whatever you prefer. Sounds good huh? Well I see that as my stomach getting larger because that’s exactly where it goes. I am however fortunate that only my stomach gets larger with temptation foods and or foods rich in desirable content aka sweets. Not always was it this way, oh no, see my page on Childhood Times.
After I noticed that I was showing the early signs of diabetes at only 21 I decided to start my own program regimen.I had taken weights in my senior year of high school and had never thought anything of it back then while in class to really listen and pay attention. Only a few years later I was reading more articles then I could imagine about weight lost and body building. It was kind of a fluke that I got a free subscription to a magazine that I invested my time in reading and learning a lot from.
I remember I was striving for reason, thinking about how much longer my life would be and how much better my future. I did not want to end up like my mother and diagnosed with CHF at only 52. No one ever cares to think about if something like this was to happen to them, what their life would be like or the lives it effects for the others around them. My mother had sealed her fate and could not change what was already done. At this point it was too late and irreversible already.
