In our life, there are often pivot points. These are moments of decisions when direction changes for an individual. For me, there was a pivot point on September 30th, 2007 regarding my weight. I realized on that date that though I weighed 350 lbs, the problem wasn't my weight but my fitness level. I was unhealthy and the weight was a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself. On that date, I started working toward making healthy choices in my life.
Looking back in my notes, I started very simply by walking 20 minutes a day. My unhealthy condition wasn't created in a day and the solution wouldn't be created in a moment either.
I had just seen a biggest loser episode, where they said that the average person makes hundreds of food choices in a day. I believe it! The truth is that those of us who have gained fat through the years have made too many choices that were unhealthy. The balance needs to shift to making more healthy choices.
Have you had a "pivot point"? Whatever aspect of your life that you're working on, consider choosing a point from which things will be different. This means that you've got to make a decision to change.
