THANK YOU GOD!!! I had another great week last weigh in!! I lost the 2 pounds I put on over 4th of July PLUS another 1/2 a pound!! I was just estatic! Last week, during one of my devotion times I spent the entire time thanking God for my success with weight loss. When I went to the doctor one year ago and realized just how big I was and just how much I had to lose to get to my healthy weight (before Katy was conceived) it scared me. The week after that appointment, I joined Curves. I was not ready to change my diet but I learned to enjoy exercise. That was the first step of my journey. Then after I turned 30, when I VOWED to lose weight, the opportunity came through Weight Watcher Meetings at my church. That's when I realized that I didn't have to give up my past life, I just had to learn some new habits (like how amazing garden fresh vegetables are and exactly WHAT constitutes 1 serving!). So as I sit her typing today, 35 pounds lighter than I was one year ago and only another 15 pounds to go, only One that deserves the credit is GOD! He taught me to have Faith in Him and myself; to believe I can do anything I want with His guidance and assistance. I could not set out on a 50 POUND weight loss journey without God's help. This was bigger than anything I've ever done and I was so scared and lost but He has walked with me during this journey. I've learned to rejoice in the little accomplishments because before you know it, you realized that you reached some pretty big accomplishments! So for all you do, all the challenges you may be faced with, or all the short-comings you feel... GLORIFY GOD! All it takes is 5 mintues (not just today, but everyday) to thank God for all the amazing gifts He has blessed us with. Every "parent" feels a deep sense of joy and pride hearing their "child" thank them (not just for feeling appreciated and loved but also for using their manners!!! LOL!)... have you thanked your "Father" today?!?!?
***love & skinny hugs***
