Some insight

Has anyone worked with Nicole Lenhof the wellness coach here at Brotherhood?  Before I started the program I had started meeting with her about ways to help me in life.  We had discussed one time about setting a long term goal for yourself and picturing it.  She recommended to not just imagine the image but find something that will help you remember it, this is the picture that I chose.

It is a father walking his daughter down the aisle.  Isabella (Izzy) is currently 4 years old and is very special to me like all children are to their parents.  I have issues with my stomach several doctors seem to think it is not a big deal.  I was in the hospital earlier this year for a week because I was in so much pain and started throwing up blood.  I am sorry if that is too descriptive.  Doctors have determined that my problem must be IBS and watch what I eat.  So my health problems are being morbidly obese and stomach issues.

After the hospital is when I started talking to Nikky.  The smallest winner program had been in my mind and even was last year when it was talked about.  So this year I made the decision that I would work to get into this program and make a change.

I want to walk my daughter down the aisle of her church when she is ready to get married.  I don't have heart issues or cholesterol problems so I expect to make it that long regardless but I want to be healthy and thin for when that time comes.

I ask that if you see me slacking or eating something that I probably shouldn't tell me to knock it off.  I want to thank everyone of you for being there to support me on this journey.  I hope to support you as well as we walk down this path.

I have a son as well and he is just as important to me.  I think every father has the same thought about walking there daughter down the aisle.
