My Debut Blog...

Hi, I'm Joan Minnery. I am a recovering food addict and I have a story to tell...

You see these pictures here?. That's ME. They are of the same person, taken from August 2010 - April 27th, 2011. That's what determination, will power, conviction and total personal stamina can achieve.

My journey is far from over, I've got a long way to go, but I'm going to win this battle.

I've spent my whole life being an overweight person. Sure, I've had times when I've been thin but I've spent the better part of my 45 years, in the thick of things.

In August of 2010, I decided that I am no longer going to be a victim of my own self. I made a promise to myself, to my son, my family and my friends, that I was going to stop watching them in fear of my health and take control of the most important commodity that God has given me...MY LIFE.

I made a commitment to myself and to everyone that is important to me, that it was time to get really serious about my future. I was sick of being sick. I was fed up living a lonely life and I was ready to get healthy. I am winning in my quest to change my lifestyle, one pound at a time.

I am on a mission to spread my message to as many people who are willing to listen and to take charge of their lives.

It is time to WAKE UP.
It is time to Change FAT into FIT.
It is time to Eat Right, Feel Better & Live GREAT!!!
It is time to Stop Being A Victim Of Your Own Self.
It is time to PUT DOWN THE FORK & GET MOVING!!!!
