Our First Weigh In.. SUCCESS!!

We had our first weigh in with 5 member's present.  Not bad for a first with one day notice.  I have 3 more coming Monday to weigh.  I figure by next Saturday's weigh in we should be around 10 or more.  Very exciting.  We are all motivated and ready for a change. 

My weight was exactly the same as 2 days ago, 280, and I'm okay with that.  But I want to see a move in the number downward next week.  I'd like to lose a healthy 2 pounds a week.  It's crazy to think that if I did that all year, I'd be under 200 by the end of the year.  I haven't been under 200 since I was 16.  Will I even know that person?  There are a lot of questions I have about my weight loss.  Will it change my relationship with my kids?  With my husband?  With my God?  Friends?  Myself?  I believe it will change all these things, I just pray for the better.  I know, I will feel more like serving my family and God, so that will be a definite change for the better.  I've known for a long time that God has called me to be a servant, not only to Him, but to those around me.  I want to do this service cheerfully and willingly so this will be a positive side effect.  

I can already tell that this blog will be a way for me to open up about things that are "eating" at me.  Some things will be painful to write so therefore painful to read, and I apologize ahead of time.  But I have been overweight since I was in the 5th grade and I don't want this to be a quick fix, I want the weight loss to be a complete overhaul and forever.  

I will be much in prayer as I move forward.  I will have to learn some self control and I know that sugar is like a deadly drug to me.  I guess like heroine.  Once I get a little, I want more.  My diabetes needs to get under better control as well.  It has done nothing but rob me of my health and years off the end of my life... I plan to take them back.  PRAY PRAY PRAY for me please.

Okay, until next time, hopefully a smaller next time,

Pamela
