I remember it like it was yesterday. I had just got the notice that my divorce was final and I knew I was ready for change. I don’t remember if I saw a picture of myself, heard a comment from someone, or what exactly “clicked," but Gary (my new personal trainer) must have noticed something.

There's a reason why our activity levels go down in the winter months — we're too busy basking in the comforts of our warm and cozy homes! It's true that braving the cold takes some effort, but the rewards far out-weigh the frost-bite!

366 days ago, I began a mission to reverse the damage I'd been inflicting on my body for 29 years. From as far back as my childhood —a sedentary lifestyle, and poor eating habits had defined my life. I was always waiting to be "rescued," never realizing that the only person who could truly save me, was myself.

You’ve seen it, right? The new “Coming Together” ad by the soft drink giant that’s designed to highlight their efforts to help curb the obesity epidemic. If there’s one thing Coca-Cola knows how to do well, it’s market their brand, and this 2-minute commercial proves that without a shadow of a doubt.

What happens when a nation loses its health? Should we even care about the choices our fellow citizens make? After all, obesity is just a personal responsibility issue, right? Wrong.

The windows of the Cutlass Supreme parked up on a secluded spot on Lover’s Lane were quickly getting steamed up.

“Oh my God! Oh… oh… right there… oh, that is so good!” moaned Jack.

“Man,” said Anita, his date. “You really love French fries.”
