Why You Need Your Own Domain Name

The Secret To Losing Weight

How many people want to know the secret to losing weight? There really is no secret, it's quite simple. Eat healthy foods, and move more. If it's that simple, why do we have such an overweight society?

I've found in my life that things that are simple to do are sometimes easier NOT to do. It's all about choices. Sometimes it's so much more tempting to have that big bowl of ice cream and greasy hamburgers for lunch or dinner, than a nice salad and a piece of fruit.

Which Life Would You Choose?

I've lived thru practically every kind of thing in my lifetime. I've been poor, with no job. I've also worked for minimum wage. I've also had times where we lived from pay check to pay check waiting for the next check to pay out bills. It was not fun.
