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
