For most of my adult life, I weighed around 300
pounds, hitting a peak of 333. I lost weight on many diets through the
years, but what always happened? I gained it back. This time, I have
maintained the weight loss for 3 years. Why? There is no question that
it is because I am involved with a physical activity that I love, which
is running. I read last week that being physically fit was the number
one reason for maintaining a weight loss. Of course, I totally agree.
The key is doing an activity that is fun. If I didn’t enjoy running, I
would have quit a long time ago.
Running clears my mind, gives me alone time with God, builds my heart
and gives me self-confidence. I believe that a healthy, fit life is
God’s best for us. My wish is to see my friends and family become
healthy and fit.If you want to get started and need some help, consider joining my Facebook group called “All My Strength.” You may follow me on Twitter ( @eddierobbins ) as well.
