What will it take to become a better you?

I have tried over the last year to make myself a better person. You might ask what have I worked on, or how have I made improvements? You may also want to know if anything has worked for me.


I will tell you that is has been a struggle, but it has most definitely been worth all the effort.


I wanted and needed to lose weight. I started by going for a walk around my apartment building.
Then I started cutting back on the amount of food I was eating. 
The next step was to learn what else I should be doing to improve upon what I was already doing.


I have read articles, read books, watched videos, watched television shows and even youtube.
It has worked. I have lost around 100 pounds. I am able to do more activities than I could before I started my self improvements.


I currently have a membership at my local YMCA. I am a single parent on Social Security Disability.
I pay a reduced rate because of my income level. Maybe you can check to see if you qualify at your local YMCA.


I would love to hear from people from all walks of life that are trying to become a better person.
Whether it be physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
