In this video you will learn more about me and my plans for 2012 on my weight loss journey. I am working toward better health via the raw food diet. In this video you will find out why I want to lose weight and how the extra pounds effects my physical health. I wanted to just touch base with you all and let you know what's up with me and let you know me a little more on a personal level. I also wanted to let you know that I am keeping it raw foods right now even though their are many interesting natural products available like African Mango Supplement, raw food protein powders etc.. It is so many things on the market right now that it will make your head spin but I am just going to keep trying to focus on raw food for right now and feel that in the long run it will pay off.
Well it is finally here after 12 months of waiting… That's right as of 12.00AM this morning January, 1st 2012 arrived and now it is time for so many folks including myself to make a New Years Resolution. The only problem with all this is that I have seen it done it and been here before. I am thinking to myself these days that what makes this time around any different than last year at least for me? How is this year going to be any different than the past promises I made myself and the ones before that? I am thinking that the reason this year makes so much sense that I will finally reach my weight loss goal is I am sick and tiered of being sick and tiered!
I feel that everyone has a breaking point and mine has finally came. I wanted to share with you some of the reasons that it is time for me to break the cycle and put up or shut up. I am sick of walking up stairs and gasping for oxygen. I have been experiencing pain in my knees and back lately and feeling tiered after I wake up for 7 hours of sleep. I have also been diagnosed with sleep apnea and high blood pressure and have been having headaches. I have also been feeling down on myself because I want to take vacations to exotic islands but don't feel comfortable with my current weight to sport the swimming trucks with confidence.The bad news is this is not allowing me to live my life 100% and that is not healthy mentally or physically for anyone to live life like this. So this year the raw food blog known as Mr. Meltdown will take a turn into another direction. Yes this year I promise myself that I will reach my health goals and lose this weight once and for all. I will become much more transparent than you have ever seen me and reveal my life to you the way I am currently living it.
It is my time to shine and LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT REGRET! I will as of today start documenting my journey for myself and whoever else cares to read my new online journal. This raw food journey starts now and I do MEAN RIGHT NOW!! It is time to do this for me with 100% energy and heart! So I will be documenting what I am eating and bring you video journals documenting my life as I am living it via my You Tube video show. I want to be honest that living life with a food addiction is not easy to deal with. Everyday I look in the mirror I am reminded of what my eating has helped me to create. I am now working on fixing this for good and today will mark my first step toward this process of GETTING HEALTHY AGAIN. OK enough of the chit chatter it is time to get cracking so see you all on my next post.
Have you ever wondered what was in Cornflakes? I remember eating a this breakfast cereal as a child and like many others unsuspecting people who to this day eat this processed breakfast treat thinking it is a healthy option. I am not an expert as far as nutrition goes but I am smart enough to read labels. I found this funny video by Tay Zonday who reads the label of Cornflakes for us and you might be surprised by the ingredients. I guess this is just another reason why going raw is just an easier option to live with.
