Welcome to the Decide to Live Podcast! I'm Jessica Larché, a morning news anchor in Norfolk, Virginia. Like many of us, I've struggled with weight issues much of my life. A few years ago, I was at a crossroads with my weight when I had a serious wakeup call. I was nearly 270 pounds at the age of 27, and diagnosed with high blood pressure. Doctors put me on medication, and I finally realized this wasn't just about a number on a scale or what size my dress was at the time. I had to make a choice. Would I keep making decisions that would damn my health, or, would I decide to live? By eating better, exercising more, going to therapy and leaning on God, I was able to shed 100 pounds. I decided to live! A healthier lifestyle is an uphill decision every single day. So, right here on "Decide to Live", I'll share what I'm learning along the way, and introduce you to friends on their own journeys to face the obstacles in their own lives. We've all got something to grow through, right?
