Several weeks ago, I just so happened to catch an episode of the Dr. Oz show (which to be honest, I don't watch all that much since I'm not home when it's on) in which he talked about the health benefits of losing just 10 pounds. I was right at that light-bulb moment where I could have gone either way with my weight loss. I could have decided to love my overweight (really obese) self, or go the other direction and start making a change. As part of the Just 10 movement he offered a bracelet (curtosy of Zappos) to anyone wanting to make a life change. It came today. I had totally forgotten about it.
The card reads, "We've created this bracelet to give you something tangible to wear that reminds you daily that you are worth it. This bracelet lets everyone else in your life know that beginning today, you're taking the steps toward a healthier lifestyle."
I won't list all the health benefits for losing 10 pounds here, but basically to sum them up... it means not having a heart attack, stroke, infertility, you know... DEATH.
