What does Healthy mean to you?

[Lisa Ducharme 10]

I remember reading this article Jillian Michaels wrote. She said to dig down to the deep rooted issues of why you want to lose weight and what healthy means to you, not just for healthy?

I know Healthy for me is so many things, getting off my cholesterol medication and metformin for pre-diabetes and PCOS and metabolic syndrome. It's seeing my toes, it's the ability to walk up the street without getting out of breath...etc.. I made a list:

1. Not seeing the doctor so much!

2. Being able to wear what I want in a normal size!

3. A better quality of life where I know I will live a longer life!

4. Getting off medications I don't need!

5. Squeezing into tight spaces!

6. Not taking up much room in general!

7. Not minding having my Photograph taken!

8. Consuming food that is nourishing!

9. Riding on an airplane!

10. Looking into the mirror and knowing I did it!!!

Those are my top ten...what are yours?
