The sad part is that this life-changing step had absolutely no bearing on my weight loss effort. In fact, I've actually gained 10 more pounds in the last 6 months. I have officially reached rock bottom...I am in crisis mode. It has gotten to the scary point of discussing surgical solutions with my family. After much prayer and council, I am going to make the strongest commitment I can to change my life. I've asked my family and God to help me. Will you be an encourager? Will you help me stay on track? I've learned through the years that I am so very weak. A friend openly shared with me this week and reminded me that my strength will fail me and have no power over the "tape recorder" in my head, but that the Lord is able to erase and rewrite the script. (thanks Marci!)
So begins an earnest effort to attack #19. I've done some prep work. I've got the body bugg on my arm. I've lined up people to commit to working out with me, and I'm studying God's Word and daily (minute-ly) praying for His guidance! Join my team! Help me beat this life-long addiction. Cheer me on. (Don't throw temptation at me!). I have 3 1/2 years to reach the goal...it will take me that whole time, I'm afraid. Thanks for listening!
To a healthier version of me!
Cheers!
PS-I've decided to steer clear of sodas still..at least for the next 6 months. I want the water "habit" to stick!
