This may not sound impressive but I have lost three pounds in nine weeks. Ha. Ha...well it is impressive for me. You see I have an anxiety disorder that freaks out over constraint. I can not do a "diet' as just the pressure triggers anxiety-yeah, it's strange alright.
Many years ago I believe God said to me: "Get your health together." My answer, "No."
Now obviously that is not an impressive answer, but it was the reality of it. I liked being fat. As a young woman I always worried, worried, worried about my weight. Every window became a mirror to me. I was obsessed with my weight. So when my husband told me he did not care what I weighed: I loved it. When God said he did care: I refused it. But the one thing I did do was pray for a change of heart. I knew I was in rebellion. So for years I have been praying- "God change the heart." And finally I said, "Okay, I am ready God. I must take it slow; but ready to learn how to live in a healthy world."
Nine weeks ago I started my journey. I have made many, many mistakes. I am learning. I have crashed and burned, so to speak, several times too. But the weight is coming off and I am feeling better and better. I am exercising and the first time in my life to loose weight at a holiday time.
That's nice and I wish I had obeyed earlier....but today, each day, God says is new every morning. So I am off to my raw veggies which I so much love....Have a blessed and happy day....full of joy!
