Clean Slate

My motivation to be healthy and live healthy has faded quite a bit over the years due to both circumstantial reasons as well as life style choices. In fact as a result of my life style choices my health has suffered in the form of weight gain, increased sensiivity to stress, fatigue (I am constantly tired) and also my self image to name a few but more importantly heightened blood pressure. My skin is ruddy and I have increased break outs to boot. I suppose one of the reasons I chose today to  examine my life and the way I'm living it is because it's my Dad's birthday who we lost in January.

I guess my question is, what would be a good way to start clean? What are some steps I could take before my health concerns turn into genuine health problems? I am only 31 years old and at one time in my life was a role model of health with the amount that I exercised, the way I ate and my confidence and happiness in general. I know I can get back on the right track. Some advice on this matter may be helpful. Any suggestions?
